I don’t know why, but my ubuntu 9.04 64 bit comes with a sub-optimal firefox multimedia setup. As previously discussed, the BBC world service doesn’t work out of the box, the australian open videos don’t work with the Totem/VLC (or whatever it is) plug-in, even after waiting for codec downloads. It’s just not particularly good.
But, it can be configured to play just about any video, dvd or audio I’ve managed to find. Thanks to Ariel, medibuntu and MPlayer.
But why ubuntu? Why choose something suboptimal when it is really easy to do better?
