<p><em>*Sigh*</em> You'll need plugins for gstreamer, gentoo has a metapackage to help named <a href="https://repology.org/project/gstreamer:meta/versions">media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta</a>, I'm not aware of other distros/ports offering such a useful package, otherwise install at least those:

<p>No, I do not want to support/promote such tools until a good implementation appears (not looking for suggestions). Your own SmartBookmarks keywords (so like entering <code>wp lolcat</code> in the location entry to go to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lolcat">Lolcat - Wikipedia</a>) are gonna be supported though.</p>
