Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Ubuntu 9.04
Firefox 3.0.5+nobinonly
Movie player, totem 2.25.3-0ubuntu2
What happens
* Link number four at http://
* A page opens with a media icon and nothing happens. The right click context menu includes "Totem Browser Plugin 2.25.3 - Browser Plugin using GStreamer 0.10.22"
* 'Open with "Movie player" ' complains "An error occurred /r Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
What should happen:
* If Ubuntu can play the supplied file, then it should 'just work'.
* If Ubuntu can't play the supplied file it should explain why.
Guesses at possible causes:
* Permission issues? unlikely.
* Missing codecs. Possible, the automatic installer might be broken.
