[Bug 260831] [NEW] Intrepid Visiting a site with WMV video gives bad message and help

[ThomasNovin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

If I from Firefox visit for example
http://streaming.streamoco.se/?page=player&pid=877&cid=2208&caid=54&rcaid=0&hideTop=0&hideRight=0&hideAd=0&tid=2&sid=17
I at first get a popup showing that I need addition plugins to view
media on the page.

I press Install missing plugins but just get info about no suitable
plugins found. This could be done better, you could perhaps get a hint
as to what media this concerns. At this point I have no clue to why I
cannot play this video clip.

Maybe the plugin finder in Totem should trigger and ask if you want to
install additional codecs?
