This thing is getting worse and worse. Now it will not play .flv files which 9.4 at least did. Also will not play some .wav files. The old 8.6 is much better. Also I can never get into their forums to figure anything out.

What ltsnow said. I think we have a WinAmp situation here, wherein an older version remains forever better than the new tree.

Just crashes trying to play .flv.

Thanks Blahh. Here is the link if you want the exe or zip file:

»nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/latest/

Works great for flv files.

Edit: But that's about all. It still won't play ram files and certain wav files. Of course, neither will 8.6. IMHO, this player has had it's day. KMPlayer and SMPlayer are simply much better--will play absolutely anything you throw at them.
