Last modified: 2009-12-01 20:29:15 UTC
Originally Reported: WMA2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418984 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25322 More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Audio http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Windows_Media_Audio WMA2 Audio Codec is not supported by gstreamer plugins or ffmpeg. Windows Media Audio V2 (WMA2) is a perceptual audio codec that is usually packaged in ASF files. Codec ID: WMA v2 (ID 0x161) There is no codec pack or application that is able to view these files. Example Content: Bloomberg TV via "Launch Video Player" http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/tv/index.html http://bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?clipSRC=LiveBTV Current Result: Plays video but audio is muted Expected result: Plays both audio and video in sync, with no delay. This bug is a request to include the WMA2/WMAS audio codecs to the gstreamer plugin packs. If there are any issues with doing this please comment on this bug. The libdmo_plugin.so codec module can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=97969&d=1230581757 This bug was create to request WMA2 to be supported by gstreamer. If this is not possible due to legal issues or other roadblocks, please define what the issue is with supporting this codec. Tested on: i386, Ubuntu Desktop 9.10, Linux 2.6.31-15 Installed gstreamer packages: ii gstreamer0.10-alsa 0.10.25-2ubuntu1.1 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.9-1 FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer ii gstreamer0.10-nice 0.0.9-2 ICE library (GStreamer plugin) ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.14-4ubuntu1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.25-2ubuntu1.1 GStreamer plugins from the "base" set ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps 0.10.25-2ubuntu1.1 GStreamer helper programs from the "base" se ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.16-1ubuntu3 GStreamer plugins from the "good" set ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.12-1 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.16-1ubuntu3 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii gstreamer0.10-tools 0.10.25-2 Tools for use with GStreamer ii gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.25-2ubuntu1.1 GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pango
Could you provide a direct (mms) URI to the stream that doesn't play as expected please? The WMA2 file mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/418984/comments/12 plays fine for me in totem as well, so presumably your stream has WMS, for which there is already a bug. If not, please re-open and provide a direct link to a sample file/stream. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 361177 ***
@ Tim-Philipp Müller I can provide the stream (from akamai), although they are not static, so if I give you a stream now, it may not be a valid address in a few minutes. So there are two possible ways to get the stream address: 1) Go to the example content and get the address yourself: Bloomberg TV via "Launch Video Player" http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/tv/index.html http://bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?clipSRC=LiveBTV ( should look like mms://a627.l2479952251.c24799.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/627/24799/v0001/reflector:52251 ) 2) Contact me on IRC/Freenode and I'll give you a valid stream address for that time/date. Cheers!
