Ok, I just installed mplayer from blastwave and it seems to work fine, although some file types were not playable. gmplayer is the gui version and it seems to be an ok substitute for vlc? We'll see later, when I'd tested it a bit. This message posted from opensolaris.org _

I will try MPlayer. Thanx you all, for your prompt reply. You can always get help for Linux, but Solaris has a smaller user base, so I was worried about getting Solaris help. Not any more. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-dis

The reason everyone on Windows,Linux wants vlc-player is because it plays a lot of different films, without bothering with installing codecs. If you say that MPlayer plays more formats than vlc, then it is a better choice - for me. I will try that one. Thanx a lot! BTW, I am talking a lot about

Orvar, I use mplayer myself to play video on Nevada build 66. As Andras mentioned, you could build mplayer yourself with the same toolkit as the GNOME-on-solaris team uses. If you like, you could build your own recipe for VLC for use with the Common Build Environment (CBE) and make use of the n
