ogg video support in iceweasel?
 
Hi. I recently installed Wheezy on a desktop system. I'm a little confused that iceweasel won't play a streamed *.ogv embedded on a a Web page through the video tag. It complains that it did not find a supported video type. I can view it just fine from a Gentoo box with Firefox 20. Do I have to install something extra?

I realize of course, sometimes one has to trade features for stability, but I was under the impression that Firefox has had ogg video support for quite a long time.

I think you need to install the xine-plugin package from the repositories.

Regards.
