    A recent apt-get upgrade seems to have screwed with my codecs :( Attempting to play a MPEG via Totem reports 'a MPEG-1 System Stream demuxer plugin' is not installed. With AVI's I get a picture, but no sound. Amarok can't play mp3s anymore, although Read Player can.

    I've tried apt-get install --reinstall'ing most things - w32codecs, totem, amarok - no joy. Google isn't helping much atm. Any suggestions?

    dpkg --reconfigure w32codecs might work (not sure on the syntax tough)

    I take it you're using xine, I'm not sure if Ubuntu package the xine engine for Amarok separately.

    Try:
    Code:
    aptitude install xine amarok-xine; dpkg-reconfigure xine amarok-xine
