Wrong conclusion;nubc wrote:After messing around for several hours, I have come to the conclusion that Puppy 4.3.1 cannot play back a (downloaded) FLV file, probably because it sees the wrong format, perhaps mistaking flv for mp3, as indicated by assigned icon.
I play many types of files with gxine, vlc, realplayer, or mplayer on
any puppy version since 4.0.
You may have a hardware problem of some kind?
The post you made in "how to" shows an elaborate and unneccesary
method of playing files.
I just drag the files from rox or my storage usb and drop them on the
gxine or vlc icon and they play fine.
