Comment 6 for bug 199940

I found this bug too. The Totem firefox plugin does not have the easy codec installation feature that seems to be working for standalone Totem. It is possible to get the BBC embedded videos to play if you choose Open with "Movie Player" from the embedded totem's menu, then try to play the video in standalone Totem, which will install the codecs for you, you can then go back to the BBC site and reload the page and the videos will play fine embedded.
