Hey All, Totem has stopped playing .wmv files recently. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I know I've played .wmv files not too very long ago. I've got 372 .wmv files all of which I've played at one time. When I try to launch any one of the .wmv files from file manager totem pops up but the controls are not functional. If I start totem from a terminal there is no feedback: [mlapier at mushroom Media]$ totem myfile.wmv When I try to open a .wmv file using Movie/Open the controls are not functional.
