I was able to install mozilla-mplayer using Snaptic.
Then did cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
and when rm libtotem_mozilla.* did not work, I tried sudo rm
libtotem_mozilla.*
So I am at the same point. It still does not work. No picture and no
sound. The window pops up, it says it is loading, then says done. Like
it has finished viewing the video.
The only thing I want to try is a reboot, to see if that makes a
difference.
