Windows Phone 8 not playing WMV (Windows Media stream files - native MS format)

[Ruslan.al]

There is a problem on Windows Phone 8 with playing Windows Media stream files. On Windows Phone 7 wmv streams play without any problems!
Every time you are trying to play, the dialog appears:
“Search for app in the Store?
You need to install an app.......”

The embedded media player should support that

Here is an example:

mms://media.sonoma.edu/pinball.wmv (try to open it from email, not in the browser)

Although it's a native MS format. It's a shame that MS not supporting their native format that was previously supported on the lower OS (WP7)
