hello, when i try to watch some streaming videos from yahoo i get the following error.

Quote:

Totem could not play 'mms://63.250.197.125/st0105r02/002/__S__/yp/abcplus/0/35540826.wmv?StreamID=35540826=14aaa76077d564d5e45b773f3ed00baf=30=MTkyNTQyNzk0NjQ2MWE1ZD=83=%252Ffr ee%252Fnws%252Fabcplus%252FInternational%252F070409gma_cruise=7acg81530m6m0461a5e81=2022142506'. There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie.

How would i fix this?

your profile shows that you use ubuntu, what version?

check out a package called Easy Ubuntu.

google for it, makes installing codecs very easy.

Go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
follow all the steps and you will be able to play all formats, provided your system is capable.
