'Windows Media Video 9 codec needed' displays when I try to play a certain
..wmv video file in Totem media player. How/where could I get this plug-in,
or even better is there some uprmi command to fetch it? |

Do you have mplayer/mplayer-plugin installed?

I found this page (link below) discussing codecs for mplayer, with
downloads for the codecs (including the codec I need, such as that for
Windows Media Video 9, and perhaps even Quicktime (it would be nice to
somehow play the iTunes videos I paid for on iTunes, but that need
Quicktime). But the codec downloads are in .tar.bz2 and other tarball
formats; it surely would be nice to know the package name to install by
means of urpmi (I have urpmi configured on my Mandriva linux system).

You're looking for the w32-codec package available thru the Easy URPMI
PLF sites. |

Ok, I was able to get w32-codec as seen below. I will give mplayer, totem,
etc another go around at playing some windows videos that were not playing
before and report back. Thank you.

Works great now, thanks for the help! Watching Genie in a bottle.wmv as I
type this; tested on a few other videos that did not play before and works
great. |

Good! If you find out how to get Totem to use the codecs, let us know. |

I have mplayer. I do not think of have mplayer-plugin, is that a package I
should urpmi?
[beowulf@localhost ~]$ whereis mplayer mplayer: /usr/bin/mplayer
/etc/mplayer /usr/lib/mplayer /usr/share/mplayer
/usr/share/man/man1/mplayer.1.bz2
[beowulf@localhost ~]$ whereis mplayer-plugin mplayer-plugin:
[beowulf@localhost ~]$
I see from your other posts you've got your player working! Great!
The plugin is for Mozilla/Firefox. It's up to you if you want it,
but if you install it then you can watch clips on web pages.

If you use totem-gstreamer, the gstreamer-pitfdll package from PLF
should make it work.

I installed both against 2006.0.
Using totem against wmv files still doesn't work.
It says Windows Media Video 9 is not handled.
Using totem-gstreamer doesn't work either,
the GUI comes up and acts like it is playing but the
video remains black. At the command line I see:
** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-wmv, width=(int)320,
height=(int)240, framerate=(double)1000, wmvversion=(int)3,
codec_data=(buffer)4e491a01
The same video works with mplayer. |
