Totem Mozilla plugin won't play anything

... and I really mean it. Totem (yes, the GStreamer version) plays WMV, but the plugin doesn't. It doesn't give me an "unsupported format" message like it ought to; it just gives me a black space, and I can't even access the options menu by right-clicking on that space (I should be able to). Firefox registers the plugins presence according to about:plugins, but otherwise, it's as if the plugin doesn't exist. Am I missing something? Do I have to have the MDNS daemon running or something?

Okay, here's a screenshot of what *should* be a streaming movie:
All text and images have been selected to make it easier to see. That black rectangle is where the movie ought to be playing. Right-clicking on it did not bring up the Totem plugin's menu, and I got no message about Totem having trouble with the stream; it's as if the plugin isn't there.
Now, to show you the plugin exists:
[proteus@localhost ~]$ slocate libtotem_mozilla
/opt/mozilla-plugins/libtotem_mozilla.xpt
/opt/mozilla-plugins/libtotem_mozilla.so
/opt/mozilla-plugins/libtotem_mozilla.a
And here's about:plugins:
The info on the Totem plugin is circled.
As you can see, the plugin is there... It just might as well not be. :? Any help?

Premiere Pro CS4 Won't Play Anything Without Stopping

I have captured HDV and DV footage and Premiere won't play anything. Not in the Source monitor, not in the Timeline/Program Monitor. It won't even play a color matte or bars and tone. It will play for less than a second, stop and the marker will go back to the original starting point.
I am running PPro on a Macbook Core 2 Duo and the footage is fine. I can play it outside of Premiere in other programs but I cannot figure anything out inside of Premiere. Its fully updated and everything.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Rod,
After some hardcore Googling and some nifty search tricks, I found I wasn't the only one. I found this thread where people were having the exact same problem:

I did what someone else said where I enabled the root user, logged into that account, loaded Premiere and changed the Audio Hardware to System Default. I then went back to my user account and loaded the project file I was working in. Everything works great now. Thank god.

Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

Totem Mozilla plugin fails to work

The Mozilla plugin for Totem (GStreamer version) from the Testing repo is not functional. An embedded movie shows as a featureless black space, and stays that way; there's no error message, the movie just won't play. Also, the plugin's right-click menu is not accessible.

Now that is really stupid. Why the heck would anyone want to make a browser plugin that can't handle the most common media formats? Useless!
In my experience though, it works well enough with totem-xine... Or did until recently - at some point, the plugin stopped working with that too, and played *nothing*.
(BTW, what's this about Xine being unable to handle streaming from http URLs? I'm pretty sure I've done that several times with totem-xine and/or gxine.)

ITunes Won't Play Anything

iTunes (6.0.4.2) was working fine last week but this morning it won't play ANY files or even the sample tracks from albums streamed from the iTunes Music Store.
iTunes Update works fine for searching/downloading podcasts.
But, when I select any item in my Library, a downloaded podcast, or a iTMS sample track, and click on the play button (the right-pointing triangle) nothing plays. The button flickers momentarily but instead of the stop/pause button (vertical lines) button appearing, the play button is still showing. The name and duration information shows in the progress window at the top of iTunes but it too does not show that the item is playing. Last but not least, no sound comes out of my computer.
The only thing I can think of that changed from last week is that the Microsoft installer updated six items this morning. One of them included an update for Windows Media Player.
I've re-booted several times and all my other software seems to work fine.
Only iTunes isn't working.
I have uninstalled/downloaded/installed iTunes from Apple's website but the symptoms do not change.
What can I do to troubleshoot/fix this so I can listen to my podcasts!?!
Thank you in advance for your help.

IBM ThinkPad T42 Windows XP Pro SP 2 with most recent updates; 1.5 GB RAM

I uninstalled/installed QuickTime as you suggested and there were no error messages on either. To verify that the installation completed successfully, I played a movie trailer from Apple's website. The audio was fine but there was no sound. And, of course, there was no sound in iTunes.
Then I realized that the Windows startup/shutdown sounds weren't playing either so my problem is system-wide, not just a iTunes or QT problem.
I looked at Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices Properties and saw that no devices are listed in the "Sound Playback" device list. So, I guess that for some reason, WinXP isn't recognizing the sound capabilities built into the motherboard of my ThinkPad. I looked at the Device Manager and the Event Viewer and can't see anything obviously wrong.
I'm now in the process of downloading driver updates from IBM's ThinkPad support website.
For now, at least, I'm stuck with a dumb laptop...literally!
Any suggestions/links for how to troubleshoot/fix my sound problem would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't play anything.

Today I launched up a brand new install of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (it's a trial) on a brand new iMac (3.5 GHz intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB) and my project that was working fine yesterday on my MacBook Air will not play anything. The footage is all DSLR H.264. My sequences won't play, my clips won't play, my merged clips won't play, my multi cam sequences won't play. You hit play and the play button changes to a stop button, but nothing happens. I tried logging in as root but it won't play there either. All the footage is sitting on an external 4TB Lacie thunderbolt drive.
Any thoughts??

Apple tv won't play anything

I bougth an Apple TV 1 week ago. It has been working without problems, but yesterday it suddenly wouldn't play anything. Whenever I try to play youtube, movies from iTunes Store or music from my computer it won't work. It tells me to try again later. Any suggestions?

Problem solved. I restarted by disconnecting the Apple TV and switched the HDMI - cable to another port. Everything works fine now. Strange...

ITunes used to be fine, but won't play anything anymore

I had opted not to update to 7.5 until today. When I updated to iTunes ver. 7.3, the update created a "dead" duplicate for every mp3 that I had imported. I decided I did not need that hassle again, if it could be avoided.
Today, I noticed that none of my files would play in iTunes. There was no error message. When I select a track to play, the time remaining bar does not even start to move. I can select pause and then select play, but the tracks never start to play.
As a result of this new glitch, I updated to 7.5. The glitch has remained after a successful install. There is no error message, and iTunes is not locking up or "freezing." It just won't play a single track (I have tried tracks that are residing on my external HD, as well as those residing on my internal HD and none of the tracks play).
Please help.
Thanks,

Adobe Audition CC 2014 Won't Play Anything

It was working fine yesterday, but now when I open my project file, it won't play. I've tried opening other files and nada, nothing will play when I press the play button or hit the spacebar. I unplugged my mic and it still won't play. I've re-started the app numerous times and restarted my laptop as well. Nothing works. I'm using the LATEST version on a Dell PC running Windows 7. Please HELP!

?Try clicking Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware then change the "Master Clock" setting from Output to Input, click Apply, then revert it back to Output and Apply once more and let us know if that has any effect, please.

HT204400 Apple TV won't play anything with different password

I recently changed my password and now Apple TV will not play anything I purchased with the old password. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?
Cheers

Thanks. I will troubleshoot per your direction.
A little more to add to the issue is that the usual problem (80% of the time) is the error "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback" so I hope this is also a network issue as you suggest.

Ipad nano won't play anything

I was listening to my ipod Nano (6th Gen) and it just stopped working. I've reset my ipod Nano 6th Gen a couple times and it still won't play any of the music/podcasts i have stored on it. My computer won't recognize it either. Please help...

Hey there,
There could be corrupt file somewhere within the software or from one of the songs itself. I would try a Restore of the iPod.
Restoring the iPod will delete all the music and files from the iPod. So before doing so, I would make sure you have it all backed up on your computer if possible. As long as everything that she has on her ipod is on the computer, then restoring it should be no problem. Instructions on restoring your iPod can be found below.
