This bug has been reported in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/272263 "With todays update totem stopped playing video/x-ms-asf files. When started on the command line the output per file is: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found 0&²u´fϦ٠^ Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found 0&²u´fϦ٠^" totem 0.99.16, xine backend, xine-lib 1-rc5 Reproducible with this video for example: http://www.prodikeys.com/products/prodikeys_DM/watch/5_Drums_High.wmv
Mass reassign.

Hmm, sorry, this isn't a dup.
It's a dup of that bug instead. We tried to load the file as an ASF playlist instead of seeing it was a video file. Fixed now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 153263 ***
Where is this bug fixed, I looked at bug 153263, but does that only apply to real player?
No, it was a bug in parsing playlists that have the same mime-types as video files. It happened for ASF playlists/videos and Real Media playlists/videos.
OK, well I am having the wmv/asf file problems too. I guess I updated totem a few days ago and I am using 0.99.16-1 and libxine1 1-rc6a-1. I installed with aptitude (binary), so should I get the sources and apply the playlist patch?
Or wait for the new release soon :)
I do not think these two bugs are the same issue. I have seen both issues but am only having this issue now.
bugs@bellcore.net (you should set your name in the preferences...), reopen a bug if you're still seeing this with 0.99.17.
