Totem Movie Player not playing files online

well Hello. I have one problem, when i try to play Video online, like this site: http://www.lrt.lt/ltv-LT-high.asx (it's for Lithuanian users) tv online, to watch olimpiad, i get nothing, it just auto cancel playing.
Well then i tryed to add that Link into Totem Movie Player GUI in Computer, to play from program, not from firefox or any other browser. Then i get this error:

[b]An error occurred[/b]
The playback of this movie requires a application/x-mmsh decoder plugin which is not installed.

I tryed sudo pacman -S x-mmsh, but it founds nothing to install.

Re: Totem Movie Player not playing files online

That is the mime type of the file..

I would suggest you install gstreamer good bad and ugly and then try again

gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins provides support for that media type.

Re: Totem Movie Player not playing files online

Well you can always look for another media player:
VLC, MPlayer, Xine are my favourite.

If you could be so kind, but when you found the solution,
edit your first post and add to the title '[SOLVED]'.

Re: Totem Movie Player not playing files online

I arrived here via google after experiencing the same problem. I got it with kaffeine (that is based on xine), with the current version in testing (I did not try the other one). Of course you need to install the packages of codecs as well.

But still you need a workaround in these KDE applications (kaffeine, amarok, etc): The workaround is to replace the http:// part of the url with mmsh://

Re: Totem Movie Player not playing files online

For me this: pacman -S gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins did the trick.
Perhaps the topic starter just needs to re-install this package to see if that helps.
