[Bug 199940] [NEW] Embedded video on BBC News (WMV + Totem/GStreamer)

[Gavin Hamill]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The 'Watch' link on any BBC News page pops up a viewer window that never
shows any video.

I'm reporting this because it makes Ubuntu look stupid since none of the
videos on the 'Latest Headlines' Live Bookmark will play.

No error message is given, nor is the user prompted to download codecs.
There is no status / progress indication whatsoever. It simply "doesn't
work"

This is tested with the Live CD of Hardy alpha 6 in VirtualBox
