After upgrading to ubuntu 10.04 64 Totem plug-in stopped working

Somehow Opera doesn't recognize the new media plug-ins.

Both 10.01 and 10.54 are affected.

Interestingly I copied over the old plug-ins form a 9.10 installation, but even those plug-ins weren't detected by Opera.

Plugins:







Only the flash and Itunesapplication/rythmbox plugin are detected in content->plug-in options.

I tried to watch content here:
http://nos.nl/nieuws/live/journaal24/wmv/

I can download and install the mozilla-vlc plugin. It's recognised by Opera but it doesn't work on above url.

Ubuntu 10.04. Linux asterix 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Totem Browser Plugin 2.30.1 not recognized.

Thx Jan

I seem to have the same problem.

Thanks for confirming, would be nice if someone could shed some light on the issue why it's happening?

Anyway, I'm not really fond on plug-ins.

Why doesn't Opera offer an easy way to copy the url of the plugin content so you can paste that easily in the right application.

For video content it's VLC or Totem, I can setup Opera to pass those URL to the application directly, but not when it's javascript generated in objects or embeds.

Finding that URL is always a mess, because it's nearly always dynamically generated by javascript (ajax).

A context menu with paste url parsed from the value of the object data attribute, the param name or url attribute would do the trick.

A nice GUI context menu for copy the url of objects would be really helpful IMHO, and soften the problems Opera always has with video content and plugins.

Hmm, some user CSS can help:

object::after { content:"object@data: "attr(data)" " !important; }
param[href^="src"]::after { content:" param@src: "attr(value)"" !important; }
param[href^="name"]::after { content: " param@name: "attr(value)"" !important; }

Easier than userJS.

FYI Upgrading to ubuntu 10.10 solved the problem.

I've got the totem pluging in the correct place and it works in firefox, but my Opera does not see the totem plugin. I'm trying to play mp3's like here:
