I am sure that mms stuff and totem have been discussed before but can't
seem to find anything in the archives that specifically concerns my

would be easier to find what you are looking for?? (Is there a way??).


Download the archives, unpack them and grep for "totem".
Just a couple of days ago though there was a thread on the same topic.

Now my question is this:

otem could not play
'mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/12/07/eccleston.uk.spy.funeral.affl.ws.wmv'.

Has anyone been successful with FC6 to be able to view the video streams
found on CNN.

Yes. Not with totem though. Install mplayer and mplayerplug-in from livna,
then install the windows codecs from http://www.mplayerhq.hu and put them
in /usr/local/lib/win32.

Any video format has its own codecs i.e. a piece of software that
codes/decodes the information specific to that format. The wmv format is a
windows multimedia format. Mplayer does some wizardry and calls some
windows dlls (more or less) to play wmv.
