How to install windows media player plugin on chromium?

There is a website that streams local TV and it requires windows media player plugin. I have LUbuntu freshly installed, but it simply says "Missing Plug-in". It doesn't say anything about what packages I need to install. What's the right package/s to install?

Solution 1:

Ok I've got it working now. I have removed the packages from Medibuntu PPA (since I don't require its packages yet) and installed these packages:

• totem-mozilla

• gstreamer0.10-alsa

• gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

• gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

• gstreamer0.10-nice

• gstreamer0.10-pitfdll

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-base

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

• gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

• gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

• gstreamer0.10-tools

• gstreamer0.10-x

• flashplugin-installer

These are taken from the package list from my previous Ubuntu (thanks to dv3500ea for the clues). I am not sure if there are any packages that are safe to remove. I forgot the forum thread in which I followed the guide. I also have VLC plugin (mozilla-plugin-vlc) installed but it's not necessary to play the video. I still have it enabled and the video is playing.

Solution 2:

With current versions of Chromium this is no longer possible. Chrome and Chromium have abandoned support for NPAPI plugins which include Totem, GStreamer, VLC, etc. Until/unless there is a new PPAPI version of these plugins, you're out of luck.
