Totem Movie Player can't play .RAM file

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Debian 5.0
Totem Movie Player 2.22.2
(Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.19 and GNOME)

Please advise how to play .ram file. TIA

I think that .ram files are basically a list of .rm files to play in sequence - at least they used to be. I've had trouble getting Linux media players to interpret them. Since they are (or should be) text files, you can view them with a text editor and then play the .rm files in sequence. Sometimes, content might be a streaming URL which can be played otherwise. Note that there is a realplayer application available for Linux, which does handle .ram files.

Hi Rubberman,

Thanks for your advice.

GStreamer needs following packages to play .RAM file;
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
w32codecs

gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly already installed as default. After installing the other 2 packages Totem now can play .RAM files

Good to know, about the bad+ugly gstreamer plugins. I only have the "good" plugins...
