Here is VLC 1.1.7 Full, with Native Language Support (aka The Whole Enchilada, or in Australian, The Full Monte).

Guvcview. We need help testing. Here is a Guvcview I made with Ubuntu binaries. There is also Pemasu's version on previous page (p.30).
If you have a web cam, please test and post your results. Also test luvcview please. Thank you.

Do we have a Wine expert on staff?

I *was* able to play the wma lossless test file on foobar2000. I installed wine 1.3.13 and then foobar2000 from PPM. Then I tried to play the cut but got an error message: Microsoft Media Runtime components are not installed.

I found that the pretty winetricks interface did not work correctly (I enabled that not green_dome), so I did winetricks from the command line--first I installed d3dx9_42 but that did not help. Then I installed wmp9--I got an error but after that foobar would play the test track. I am still not sure exactly what I should install.

Code: Select all

winetricks --help
winetricks d3dx9_42
winetricks wmp9

Billtoo, Thanks for the pets--I will post them later today. XFE looks nice but unfortunately we do not, after all, have enough space to add another file manager--but we can put it in PPM.

you need the visual c++ libraries vcrun2008 or vcrun10 i use the 2008

Code: Select all

winetricks vcrun2008

foobar works quite well in wine. though it can bug sometimes.

Here is VLC 1.1.7 Full

I spent over an hour yesterday trying to run film and sub title with gmplayer or VLC in Puppy.
Gave up after trying all kinds of settings.
Today just dragged the same file onto VLC and it played.

That works for me . . .
Many thanks

You're welcome, I just saw XFE for the first time a few days ago.

Hi playdayz

I've tested with 2 generic usb cams bought off ebay - details below.

With the current luvcview - cam2 works but cam1 produces error:

Code: Select all

# luvcview
luvcview 0.2.6

SDL information:
  Video driver: x11
  A window manager is available
Device information:
  Device path:  /dev/video0
Stream settings:
ERROR: Requested frame format MJPG is not available and no fallback format was found.
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal

With both new versions of guvcview, both cams work but for cam2 in both versions the cam output on startup has to be changed from mjpg to rgb3.

Cheers
Peter

Firefox 4.0 is released . They call it rc1 but it shows 4.0.

Here is XFE a nice traditional file manager--nice and fast It also has an automatic Recycle Bin. I have been thinking that is the most glaring omission in Puppy from the standpoint of usability expectations from users. XFE and LXTerminal were prepared by billtoo.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ucid52.pet

And then here is lxterminal (from the LX desktop). we also have Roxterm in the PPM--both use vte. I notice that we also have the LX Task manager.

Nice and fast but heavy : 4.2M for v1.32.2

Let me recall that v1.32.1 is only 750k

xfe_staticFOX-1.32.1-i486-fr.pet was only 750 ko.

Run ok with 253

Last summer seen a cheap 'Gear Head Webcam' at one of our local discount stores for $13.00 US and picked it up. It never worked with any webcam program other than 'Cheese' and I never could find anyone that made a .pet for Cheese.

Anyway pemasu's guvcview-1.4.4.pet and his dependencies- guvcview_dependencies-1.4.4.pet fired Head Gear right up and it works fine....

Nice job pemasu!

Roxterm-1.17.1-lucid pet has been in lucid packages since aug 02, 2010.
I use it on regular basis and have not noticed any dependency requirements when installing the pet.

Which version of vte is used by Roxterm

[playdayz]

One more pet today
Abiword 2.9.0 prepared by ttuuxxx
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ucid52.pet

[playdayz]

Which version of vte is used by Roxterm

It is built in to the Roxterm pet, not a separate dependency--I forget the number.

[bigpup]

Something to consider putting into PPM
Virtual Magnifier Glass

[bigpup]

Here is another terminal to consider. It also needs VTE.
You can add tabs, has right click menu, color change, font size change, session save and open, many extras.

Yes, it is a very practical application.

[scsijon]

Maybe offtopic, but while your only in beta!

Anyone (hint, a hint, for our favorite programmer) considered adding a QT Window Manager for the next version (if not this one).

I came across Egg http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Egg ... ent=136862 while perusing qt-apps.org for something else and only 3-4 meg ram footprint.

Considering the number of apps already there and available.....

Very impressive.

ps I take it we have a working QT4 pet somewhere for 5.2+?

Here is the Blueheart GTK theme from luci-253. it is the first dark theme I really liked--I think it is very readable. It's too big though to include in the iso when there are good themes that are much smaller.
