chromium multimedia plugins

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.

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?

I don't have the VLC plugin installed a while ago. I tried to install it and nothing new.

My about:plugins is almost the same as of yours now except Totem is v2.32.0. I have installed Medibuntu and other gstreamer packages but I have only played the "Live Video". The "Video on Demand" won't play; it's just blank screen. Any clue on how to determine the right packages needed?

Found out that flash player was the only last piece missing.

As much as possible I would like to stay away from wine. I have it working without wine.
