this is the error
Totem could not play 'file:///mnt/WINE/VIDEO SONG/abc.avi'.
Failed to open; reason unknown
by the way what is the command to run it from console
The command is just "totem". Do you have the win32 codecs installed. If not download them from the mplayer website and copy them to /usr/lib/win32. It's difficult to know what the exact error is when the error shows up as being "unknown". Have you tried playing other file types.
