Hi,

Anyone have luck getting .wmv files to play? I'm using Kaffeine and have 
followed their FAQ suggestions of getting the latest mplayer codecs for win32 
(dowloaded it from their site) and copy them to either: 

/usr/local/lib/[win32|codecs]
/usr/lib/[win32|codecs]
 
but no luck (I've tried all combinations). I always get the error: "No plugin 
found to handle this resource".

I'm not married to Kaffeine. Anything that can play .wmv's (and quicktime 
would be nice too) will do. (But I don't want to use wine --  too much 
overhead).
