I installed 12.04 and installed all plug-ins related to video drive.

I installed VLC player and tried to start a .wmv file but I get this error:

No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

I followed links of previous .wmv related questions and also searched on Google but did not find a solution to the problem.

Please help me or suggest me any other player.

Tried everything including installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, medibuntu w32codecs, MPlayer etc. Finally SMPlayer did the trick.

Try this

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mplayer

The Mplayer should have the codec required to play .wmv
