As my title said, I need flash, java and mplayer. |

One problem I see with your suggestion is that I need to play wmv |
| 21 |
files from web links and the win32codecs flag for mplayer is masked |
| 22 |
out on my box. Until I set this positive in my chroot'ed environment |
| 23 |
all I got was audio. With it turned on I get video also. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If this cannot be turned on in the 64-bit world then the 64-bit world |
| 26 |
wouldn't work for me. |

Seems to be working for me in both the 32-bit and 64-bit worlds. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
The one problem I am having is that in all my environments mplayer is |
| 43 |
quitting early. (I.e. - not playing the complete file. Bummer! |

Yeah, I agree, but if I must I must! |
