[vlc] Re: CANNOT play avi and asf with opie-vlc in iPAQ

[Andrew leung]

Dear Jean - Paul Saman,

Um......what is meant by hurt?
well.....actually it is still unstable and my change of settings helps less.

I would like to know if this warning important:

config file /root/.vlc/vlcrc does not exist yet

should it be there? I get this error........


Thank you,
Andrew
