Here's what I do with Belenix: - wget http:www.belenix.org/binfiles/SFEspkg.pkg - wget http:www.belenix.org/binfiles/SFEaxel.pkg - pkgadd -d . (note the dot in the previous line) - spkg updatecatalog - spkg install multimedia The last step downloads just about all multimedia codecs as well as mplayer and vlc from a non-US server. I am able to play just about every media format out there. > Can someone help me in setting things up to view video's??

If it doesn't, then you may want to install the oss package from http://www.opensound.com/solaris.html (I needed to do this even though Belenix has oss built in). > > Thanks, > Arun > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > desktop-discuss mailing list > desktop-discuss at opensolaris.org >
