[gentoo-user] Totem plays only sound / no video playback of WMV media

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

I'm trying to watch the movie on 
http://www.tivi.de/fernsehen/loewenzahn/video/15478/index.html in
Windows Media format and with Modem/ISDN quality. In essence, this
will play <mms://ms.mdcs.dtag.de/zdf/tivi/061009_loewenzahn_peters_neues_zuhause_l.wmv>.
When I click on the http link above or directly load the mms URL in
Totem, I only hear the audio; no video is shown. In the terminal,
from which I started Totem, I see:

alexander@blatt ~ $ totem mms://ms.mdcs.dtag.de/zdf/tivi/061009_loewenzahn_peters_neues_zuhause_l.wmv
** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-wmv, wmvversion=(int)3, framerate=(fraction)25/1, width=(int)200, height=(int)152, codec_data=(buffer)44191a01

What do I have to do, to be able to watch this video with Totem?

I'm using an ~x86 system and basically only Gnome.

Thanks,
