I've tried adding the mplayer codecs into the totem add-on folder (.gnome2/totem-addons I think its called).
But I still cant get my system to play wmv files. (Using Kaffeinne, Totam or Noatun) I have only ever managed to play .wmv files with mplayer - even with the appropriate codecs installed as you describe. You could try renaming

I've got Kaffeinne on 9.1 doing .wmv. It's a bit rough, but it does work as long as I let it just run through without rewinding it partway or fast-forwarding it a bit.
How do I convert wmvs to mpgs ? I tried to get kaffeine & mplayer working with no joy.
So I'm thinking that converting them to mpgs is a better idea.
Thanks, Nathan
This seems a common issue with Kaffeine, eh? I've got 9.1Pro on an intel box and have added the codecs as advised. Checked the path in Kaffeine / config xine and the path shown is where the codecs are... still no wmv files will play. What could be wrong??
