Seems to be Windows Media file, MP4 is the container I think the .3g2
is the WM part.
wmplayer=Windows Media player?
Probably.

Re:
[solved] mplayer2 fails to load libraries
I had just done a dist-upgrade in Sid and got the mplayer error.
Package libdvdnav4 was installed but libdvdnav.so.4.1.2 not
in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu!
So I copied the symlink and the lib from the deb...
And then did ln -s libdvdnav.so.4.1.2 libdvdnavmini.so.4
and mplayer was back...
But my copy of it is in the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu subdir.
I'll give this a try.
And I think it works, the *.* version plays something, but it
wasn't the saved file. Clicking on the file in kmail gets me a
requester or 3 complaining about the skin, and eventually fails
w/o playing the targeted file from a kmail click on the
attachment.
But the saved file does play, so the "skin" error seems to be the
thing now.
And the /home/gene/Desktop/wmplayer.Desktop appears to have been
overwritten by PlaysonLinux. After installing it, it didn't work, so
I figured the whole thing was duff although not a peep out of
clamscan.
But how best to restore that file?
The bad file has been there long enough that the good one has aged
out of my amanda backups already. Play on Linux is Wine, (POL)
w9ndows Media player probably works with POL and/or wine.
I'd assume so, but my wine is elderly, and my cross-something is even
older.
Handbrake claims to transcode any format, I use it on
my DVD
collection..works great.
The .3g2 does play now if its saved as a file, but not if clicked on
while still part of an email. Seems like I must invent a better linkage
recipe. For that I'd obviously need help, hint hint. :)
