I've disabled the movix menu .. so simply use mplayer as a command .. </p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;"> to play any file, at first you should mount the media where the file is, then simply run </p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;"> mplayer /path/to/media/file.ext </p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;"> You can run this CD on a PC with 32 MB of RAM and a graphic card of 2 MB ... I could run some video files on a test machine with those configuration ... </p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p style="text-align: left;"> Here is the download link, http://fun.sharnoby.net/emovix-modified-alpha0.iso </p><div style="text-align: left;"> I hope you enjoy it and report me any bugs or suggestios you've. :)</div>Amr_not_Amrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587127328874582386noreply@blogger.com
