I'm trying to play a flash video ( .flv), but none of the players in opensuse work. Some complain that they are looking for the decoder for "application/x-gzip"

This ought to be easy to provide, but I'm not sure what they want for a program to handle this.

Any thoughts on getting this to work?

grep x-gzip /etc/mime.types application/x-gzip gz -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Flash video is typically handled with "adobe flash", but others sometimes can play them. Perhaps mplayer or vlc. But gzip? No way. Maybe the place you get that video wrongly labels it as x-gzip, and then it obviously fails to play. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
