If you want to play midi & kar ( karaoke) files install this and just click on the file and they will play and if its a kar file it will display the lyrics so you can sing along.
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/Wary/Software/TiMidity++-2.13.0-i386.pet <-- install to play midi&kar files
http://www.cdgskaraoke.com/main_en.html <-- karaoke files

I was trying to view a video file that wouldn't play on Mplayer with Wary, and then I remembered about 2 months back I compiled the latest VLC, and so I tried the pet and it worked, so I quickly made this for myself but figured why not toss it out there to the rest who might need it.. Basically its 35MB of useful bloat Smile

Basically Wary comes with Mplayer, Ogle, Pmusic.
So I added
- VLC <-- default video player
- Smplayer
- Gxine
- Xine-ui
- DeadBeef <-- default- audio player
- Xfburn
- Galculator
- An older Gimp that works very well and loads quick
- Easy image resizer
- screengrab
- Lx Task Manager
- Transmission
- Htop
- Blue Moon Icon theme + network manager icons (Blinky)
- JWM reverted to jwm from 2.14X, I really dislike the newer one that swaps desktops by using the mouse, drives me nuts.
- Flashblock

I altered Seamonkey to function more like firefox, eg home icon, personal bookmarks, and if you hit f9 and select search and drop the menu you can search this forum and also barry's blog and few others.

I removed
3 calculators since I included Galculator
removed top, since I added htop

Thats it Smile

enjoy

Thanks, ttuuxxx, it works fine. But I do have a question. Why does it appear that everyone who writes media versions of Puppy seem never to include a midi player. I know Timidity is available, and it would be really nice to see someone include it in a media version so I wouldn't have to add it later. There are some (at least one) of us who enjoy playing midi files.

Please keep this a on going release? I use it to watch TV on the internet. This is the best I have found in the Puppy releases.

It works and please do not let it die here. We have to many builds that just stop with one release.

Just the sort of Puppy I needed. I've used your VLC for a while now but it always froze my toshiba portege laptops. This Wary version works perfectly.

Thanks ever so much Very Happy
