I have installed vlc from the software center. In its description, it says that it plays WMV files, but when i try to play one, it doesn't play it. The vlc window just opens for a fraction of a second and closes back. I have no problem with any other file, but wmv doesn't play. I tried delving for good helpful solution, but nothing worked out. Finally, this was the best place to get my problem solved. I uninstall and reinstalled vlc but it din't work any good.

This may work

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted* It installs extra add-ons and plug ins for you. Also, I recommend that you go into the Ubuntu software Center, go to your VLC media player, click on the more info and install the extra add-ons for it, that may help.
