Johan - Your guidelines for installing and configuring mplayer that you posted in March were extremely helpful. I got the files yesterday and believe that I have done everything okay. I found a downloadable .swf file and found that mplayer played it fine. However - my computer has no DVD drive, and I have only a 56K modem dialup connection. I wonder if there are any sources I can tap with such limitations. I looked through the documentation files and man pages for information about mime types for movie streams but could not find any. Can you suggest what mime types and filename suffixes ought to be added to the .mimetypes file?
