------------------------------------

Etoys MPEG Playing Status - April 2009
Tested by dragging out the MPEG Player from Object Catalog -> Multimedia -> MPEG Player
Multimedia Test Files from http://membrane.com/test.html
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpeg for MPEG info
all architectures here are 386

........  OLPC Sugar (Linux)........Windows........................Windows........................................Linux........................................Apple OSX
..........OLPC 0.84 image........Etoys 4.0 image................Squeakland January 2009 installer........Etoys MPEG Playing Status - April 2009................................................................................Squeakland January 2009
........  no Mpeg3Plugin ........Mpeg3Plugin installed........http://squeakland.org/download/................ installer RPM and DEB 
........  for license reasons................................Mpeg3Plugin installed by default........are missing Mpeg3Plugin!
................................................................................................We need to add it to next release
MPEG1 ................X........................X........................X........................................X........................................?
MP3 (.mp3)............X........................+........................+........................................X........................................?
MPEG2 (mpg)...........X........................+........................+........................................X........................................?
MPEG4.................X........................X........................X........................................X........................................?

Overall, I would say that MPEG on Etoys works as expected if the  Mpeg3Plugin is installed
........-.MP3 audio and MPEG2 video  work
........- MPEG4 does not
........- OLPC Sugar will not work as plugin not installed for licensing reasons. I assume local installations can add it?
........- Next Squeakland version for Linux should ensure to have Mpeg3Plugin installed both in RPM and DEB

> Using Ubuntu 8.10, I downloaded a sample MPEG file from http://www.fileformat.info/format/mpeg/sample/index.htm and opened it in Ubuntu's default Squeak environment. It played without a problem. Then, I downloaded the latest version of Etoys from Squeakland.org . I attempted to play the same video in Etoys. It would not play.
> I recieved the following error message:
> Error: a primitive has failed
> An error has occurred; you should probably just hit 'abandon'. Sorry!
