I have Paint Shop Pro under WINE as the default image editor for JPG files in Puppy (Slacko 5.3.3), so when I click on a JPG file it automatically opens in this program through WINE. I did this by adjusting the "Run action" command for JPG files.
Using the same method, I tried to set the default MP3 player as VLC (already installed) under Wine. However, when I click on an MP3 file, I now get the following error message from VLC:
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "music\album\song.mp3". (%m)
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///music/album/song.mp3'. Check the log for details.
The program does start though (when I click off the error message) and I can open the same MP3 manually via the program menu and it runs fine.
Does anyone know how I could bypass this error message and get MP3 files to run automatically with VLC?
Thanks.
PS: In case anyone was wondering, I have a specific reason for wanting to use the Windows version of VLC (not the Linux one or a different Linux audio player).

Thanks for the replies. As mentioned, I want to use the Windows version of this prog for a specific reason (I won't bore you with it here as it's kind of off-topic). Anyway, I'm now able to get MP3 files to open automatically with VLC under Wine, thanks to this solution kindly provided by MikeB via PM:
Go to Choices/Mime-types/audio_mpeg
Change the contents of this to:
#! /bin/sh
a=${1/\//Z:\\}
a=${a//\//\\}
wine "[location of vlc.exe]" "$a"
...and now it works fine =).
