Hi. You need to install the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

That is how I got it to work here. I use Ubuntu 10.04 64bit.

Hope that helps.
Cool site btw.

try installing the vlc player. It will normally install the other weird codecs required. Most of my online tv works except for specific ones which have their own software.e.g. veetle
Browser:
Also, try firefox browser instead of the other ones.This works most of the time for me.

Hmmm...
The only KEY difference I see here is that your repos point to the debian-multimedia repositories.
I use the standard ubuntu ones.
Perhaps there is a different package than the standard ubuntu one being installed?
