How to play wmv files with Ubuntu Hardy Heron

February 15th, 2008 | Linux

I thought about doing:

sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs gstreamer0.10-pitfdll w32codecs

Nothing!

Maybe:

sudo aptitude install totem-xine

Nope…

Maybe… then:

sudo aptitude install mplayer

Yesss… that worked! Too bad mplayer gnome integration looks like shit…

[edit]

Of course, this works beter: aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Try it!

I have installed mplayer using the command: aptitude install mplayer . when I tried to open the .wmv file using mplayer I am getting the following error. “Can not find codec for audio format 0xA”.
