@Sailor Enceladus I still considered it however I decided to drop it because of big file size. I just want to make this puppy as small as possible much better if I reached it to less than 130Mb or lower.Sailor Enceladus wrote:mistfire, have you considered using a zdrv? That way people can take out unneeded drivers with zdrv_cutter.

XFMEDIA, or PAROLE as your goal is a slim Puppy.
Xfmedia does its job.
In a Puppy XFCE, Choose XFMEDIA, as your goal is a slim Puppy. About the size, i suppose XFmedia is much less than Mplayer.
Don't trust me too much, because never i created a slim puppy myself. My proposal are to test.
Run Saluki (13 or 23) to get ideas.
Parole plays all Medias excepted DVDs in X-slacko Slim , but plays only DVDs and CDs in 5.3.3 XFCE Jejy 69 , not files Who could understand ?

Just set this up using a manual frugal install with some other pups on an old Toshiba laptop (800MHz 320MB). Had some initial trouble with xorg but it is working fine now. I have not tried Slacko before. I have tried a number of "barebones" pups before. Although this is more slim than barebones I like it and in particular I like the layout of the menus. I will spend some more time playing. Thanks for this.
Regards,
Ken.

Hello Mistfire how about a statically linked no-gui Mplayer
http://smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog ... led.tar.gz
It is a single file
Small Gui version.
http://smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog ... 6_i386.deb
You'll need to convert second one to .pet.

I sometimes use tinycore packages

You'll need tcz2pet

@mistfire Have you given up on QtWeb that was suggested in an earlier post. I am using it now. I think it's about 8MB. Is this too big. I believe it's still supported so you should be able to get an up to date version. Here is their url http://www.qtweb.net/. I got the .pet on this forum but I can't remember where. If your interested I'll look for it.

Ken.

However removing FFmpeg should be a bad choice, i think.
What i can say is that this X-slacko Slim succeeds playing My Dvds about football (futbol, soccer) world cups without trouble. That is not the case of some newest Puppies, Tahrpup and sons, who choose to delete FFmpeg and Mplayer,
Trim the fat does not mean prevent users to have fun
X-slacko Slim until now keeps available what i need..
However removing FFmpeg should be a bad choice, i think.
XFmedia had no trouble this mornig playing my old Football DVDs..
Sure an XFCE Puppy with XFCE applications change the traditionnal Corned beef.. But don't forget Puppies are now still around 400 still in life, a 'walk on the wild side' would be worth the pain. Mistfire, it will be hard for you to do better than Saluki Try it, yesYou Can
"Changing gstreamer-properties default output to "X Window System (No Xv)" (ximagesink) has solved the problem." Mp4 and avi fail with XFmedia, no dependancies missing.
XFmedia plays CD audio (titles Missing)

QtWeb is really a good Browser
QtWeb is really a good Browser. i install it in old puppies to replace seamonkey fist age, without loose of functions. Compared with latest firefox, sure you will miss some stuff.
But nothing prevent sombody to replace QTWeb, is QtWeb is not enough for them.
Sure QtWeb is better than Midori, and better than Opera (always asking you questions in english to access sites, your answer will be always yes, so useless questions). Opera consider your adsl provider as untrusted.. (SFR in France is One of The Three most used ones. Refused by Opera, my god ! And it's Mine !)

Hello Mistfire,
first up thank you for a lovely pupplet built on a good base, very stable.
Midori is a good choice and I am posting from it now. Very fast on my Dell D620.
Only dissapointment is XFmedia's ability to play mp4's properly - very choppy and unwatchable. Haven't tried it with mp3 but should be fine. A little winge but mp4 playback is important for me. Online youtube video was great with html5.
Anyway nice work - don't know how to solve XFmedia problem as it seems small and not too ram hungry otherwise.
