Bug#279289: totem: fails to play wmv files

[Brian May]

Package: totem
Version: 0.99.16-1
Severity: normal

This use to work until recently.

 >totem ~/acc-79.wmv
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
0&\uffffu\uffff\uffff\uffff
^
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
0&\uffffu\uffff\uffff\uffff
^

I am not quite sure what it is trying to do.

No other errors shown, and the file is never loaded.

xine-ui can load the same file without any problems.

You can download the file in question (next week only) from:
