did you try my version of vlc, it tales less resources than Gxine and its 1/3 the size of 8.0.6.c

No ttuuxxx i havent tried the vlc-h version...

if its the 1 i think it is (based off the ffmpeg)
which i think gxine is also based on
then for some older hardware (old legacy) it doesnt work real well..
example i have to 350mhz machines

1 is intel as in this post the other is an ibm 300PL

the gxine audio works on the ibm but not on the intel at all
the gxine video works on the ibm (with jitters) but not on the intel at all

the vlc-c however based with the sdl pkg set works on both
the other thing to note is that the ibm 300PL only has 128meg ram the intel has 256...

will be posting some pics some soon of the ibm 300PL..
