Works well for me using mplayer; playback not jerky. Very Happy

There may be a valuable cross-purpose between this old thread and another older one:

.wvx stream recording
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=392320#392320

Our son needs to be able to follow the .wvx pointer and play the associated video without having to downgrade to anything-MS. His laptop has Puppy 4.31 installed.

We don't need to record but do need to be able to view - right now I can paste URL into Pstreamvid 1.3 which then opens a gxine window but all we get is the audio. What are we doing wrong, please?

He needs this for an online college course that started today.

Edoc,

I think you need mplayer and use it in pstreamvid. I dunno if there's a way to make gxine plays more extensions.

Regards

Where is the best source for mplayer?

I have used it in the past, earlier in it's life when it was really buggy, but I know that it has come a long ways.

Hey Edoc;

I was able to get audio and video of that Liberty U. perversion
of psychology by using Ttuuxxxs' VLC 8.6 lite.
Have mms. streams enabled.
