</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>got the Zaurus reloaded.. sometimes when I do a reboot, the Zaurus hangs, the screen display goes wackey and the only way to recover is to do a hard reset. This hang up happened after I installed the QPE terminal application.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> The trouble here is that there is no GUI on OPIE yet for VLC. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I have one </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> person who is interested in doing this work, albeit I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> currently do not </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> know his status.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> The other problem is that VLC opie version uses the complete screen </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> without a window ;-). Then indeed you cannot close the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> application. I'll </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> try to correct this behaviour before the next releas, but cannot make </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> promisses.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> The situation however will become better when there is a GUI </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> under OPIE </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> (only needs time or some one to work on it). The CVS version already </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> includes RTSP support for VLC, so the server can then trigger </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> VLC that a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> stream has ended.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This will help.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Let me bring up another scenario where by it is good for the vlc to be able to timeout.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>If the network connection between the vlc and the server (vlc or vls) is broken (which can happen when vlc is either the iPAQ or Zaurus using a WLAN connection) and cannot be re-eastalished, then the message from the server cannot be delivered. Thus, the client is waiting indefinately...</FONT></P>
