    firefox not playing sound

    i can't watch video's on tv links using ubuntu OS
    where as MS windows work just fine, i don't know what to do
    here is the link, try it out Mega-nl

    tell me if it works, there is no sound what so ever and when i play it on the ubuntu media player there is this error "text/html decoder plugin"
    so then i installed the restricted package
    but then it says i need a codec but there is non available.

    is there a way that i can stream these videos?

    I don't know what you're trying to stream, but you might need some less common codec not in the regular Ubuntu repositories. Try the Media Ubuntu (Medibuntu) repo and add the W32codecs package (and any other you like).

    The instructions are quiet clear, just follow along and post back here if you need explicit help with something.
