Thank you ttuuxxx, does this mean that a person who seeks to listen to streaming audio with Puppy Wary 5.0, needs to download BOTH of these two components? If so, should such action be performed sequentially?ttuuxxx wrote:I just tested all the links I posted with puppy 5.2 and all are working 100% with
vlc gtk 2.2 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=35571

Do folks here, understand that all other distros, in my experience, at least, either include VLC with default installation program on the CDROM, or, if not, then, at least require only a single download, e.g. selecting VLC, from a list with "Synaptic".
Puppy seems determined to act as though folks came out of the womb understanding the strange jargon employed here, "pups", as well as the need to download something called gtk, whatever that is, while concurrently foisting off some wretched streaming audio players, "out of the box", as though they represented something useful. WHY? Doesn't anyone at puppy land test these wretched audio players?
Why is an otherwise superb linux distro so completely dreadful when it comes to streaming audio reception? Perhaps the engineers there are all deaf? The old Puppy had Amarok, what a nightmare. The new one offers something equally unusable.
Am I the only person who finds this situation completely bizarre? VLC is the standard. Why wouldn't anyone want to use it? I feel like I am talking to the engineers at Cal Tech who insist on using the English system of weights and measures, instead of the Metric system.
