totem : ASF demuxer plugin
Hi forum,
when I try to watch a video totem answers the following : A Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed. Any idea what to do in this matter. rpmforge is available for yum. Kind regards eggerola |
install RPMFusion repo: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Then command: yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-freeworld any doubts, let us know |

Both packages installed. Totem now reacts the following way :
You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. What now ? Kind regards eggerola |

Also, I wish programs like Totem would just say what plug-in is missing, something they never do. |

The file in question is a quite normal file with .wmv ending. In fact it would be an enormous help if Totem said which plugins, ... they are in need of.

Install Xine and all the codecs, it should work

Hi Jerry,
you are great. It works. But can you tell me from where I can take or get the informations which packages have to be installed if you are facing problems like this ??? And another question : which packages have to be installed to make totem work with DVDs ? Kind regards eggerola |
One thing you should know is that these are not problems or bugs. These file formats like MP3, WMA, etc are patented. Unauthorised use of these codecs are illegal in some countries, so most of the distributions do not include these codecs by default. If it's legal in your country you can download and use it legally, that's it.
You need libdvdcss2 for playing dvds btw, if any reply to your post by users here helped you, then please click the ' thank ' button, its really encouragable for the users and thus help the community become better and better. (i didn't write it so that you'll thank me, but just to let you know if you didn't know already) |
