I'm trying to run wmv files, and tryed some advices from here, but without any success. I have vlc and ubuntu-restricted-extras. I also did a purge, autoremove and re-installthem.

This is what I get.

~/Downloads$ vlc test_wmv.wmv

A quick look at the VLC wiki reveals the following:

On modern Ubuntu distributions, first install the hardware support (packages i965-va-driver, libva-intel-vaapi-driver and vainfo) and then activate GPU hardware acceleration in Preferences -> Input&Codecs.

Install terminal command: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver libva-intel-vaapi-driver vainfo

The following video codecs are supported: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Visual, WMV3, VC-1 and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC).
