Edgy Eft does not support certain media formats by default because they are closed and patent-encumbered.

You can use EasyUbuntu (http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/) to enable all of these formats.

If you feel your question has been sufficiently answered, please mark the request as "Answered"

After running command cd easyubuntu/trunk
the next command:
sudo python easyubuntu.in
I get a message that states:
You cannot run EasyUbunto as root, plese run as user
 How do I do that?

The error message stated on my first inquiry is as follows:

Totem could not play 'mmsh://a814.l1977144512.c19771.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/814/19771/v0001/reflector:44512?MSWMExt=.asf'.

Hello Munchking guy,

I appreciate your help, but I posted a couple of questions in comments.
I hope to become proficient with Ubuntu. Bear with me.

Sincerely,

Hector

With regards to "You cannot run EasyUbunto as root, plese run as user"

Just type "python easyubuntu.in" without the "sudo"
