Won't play wma files

[L D]

Won't play wma files but recognises them as music and sorts them as Unknown Artist / Unknown Album.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better! This may be related to the scanning of WMA files. I do not have any such files myself to test, so I am marking mediascanner2 as affected so that they can take a look in the meantime.

Could you attach the following file: /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/mediascanner-2.0.log

Thanks!

Here it is.

The files don't play because the codecs are not available. With appropriate codecs, mediascanner2 will probably also handle the files fine (although this is untested).

It used to play early wma files but not the latest versions. It tjen stopped playing or seeing any.
