well, you have to set up the JMF if you want to play any media at all, otherwise you get the error message you're getting right now.

You get: CWS Name: avmedia102 Description: Creating a GST based Linux backend for module avmedia This is a clone of cws avmedia101 as avmedia101 has a broken outgoing repository. This cws contains all changesets from avmedia101 Milestone (integrated): DEV300m86 This means that this feature was developed in CWS avmedia102, integrated in DEV300_m86 (current milestone is DEV300_m95, so this feature is available). > Even if it did, I'd rather not install a development snapshot without > a very strong recommendation. quoting from http://download.openoffice.org/next/index.html : "This software has not been tested and thus is not recommended for production deployment. These builds are under continuous development and therefore unstable. For production, please use the most recent stable version." Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
