Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-mplayer
In Edgy, using the latest Firefox and latest mozilla-mplayer packages, I cannot play certain Windows Media steams (usually ones with playlists) that I could play with Firefox and mozilla-mplayer in Dapper. If I try to play these streams in Edgy, the plugins keep reloading various URLs, and then stop playback.
I have isolated this as a plugin problem; I have tried using a Mozilla build of Firefox 2.0 RC1 with the plugin to play the streams, which did not work, which means it is not the browser, and I have loaded the streams into the MPlayer I'm using. They played back as expected, meaning it is not an MPlayer problem. I have the latest w32codecs package installed. It will work when I have the Dapper package (3.17-1ubuntu1) installed.
Two example streams that cause this problem (open them in a browser):

I have the exact same problem. mplayer- plugin match compatibility.
I compiled my own version of mplayer and it fixed the problem.
Sounds like it could be a mplayer/
