Hi Bert. There is good news, and (rather mild bad news). I updated the code from etoys4.1 to etoys5.0, as suggested by you via "update code from server", and the following use-cases worked perfectly as expected :: a) Open an mp3 from a USB pen-drive via journal-object-chooser. Click "Play in MPEG player". The mp3 starts playing. Click "Stop". Click "Play". mp3 resumes playing. Click "Stop". Click "Rewind". Click "Play". mp3 starts playing from the beginning. b) Open an mp3 from a USB pen-drive via journal-object-chooser. Click "Open". Click "Play". The mp3 starts playing. Click "Stop". Click "Play". mp3 resumes playing. Click "Stop". Click "Rewind". Click "Play". mp3 starts playing from the beginning. c) Open an mp3 from the journal via journal-object-chooser. Click "Play in MPEG player". The mp3 starts playing. Click "Stop". Click "Play". mp3 resumes playing. Click "Stop". Click "Rewind". Click "Play". mp3 DOES NOT PLAY. Instead an error comes up, saying that the file-name has changed. d) Open an mp3 from the journal via journal-object-chooser. Click "Open". Click "Play". The mp3 starts playing. Click "Stop". Click "Play". mp3 resumes playing. Click "Stop". Click "Rewind". Click "Play". mp3 DOES NOT PLAY. Instead an error comes up, saying that the file-name has changed. e) I tried steps a), b), c), d) with etoys4.1. a) and b) failed (for obvious reasons). c) and d) ALSO failed, with the same symptoms. f) I tried installing the new rolled out <a href="http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/etoys/5.0.2406/1.fc17/noarch/etoys-5.0.2406-1.fc17.noarch.rpm" target="_blank">etoys-5.0.2406-1.fc17.noarch.rpm</a> However, it needed a squeak-vm greater than 3.10. Now, I had uninstalled the squeak-vm, and installed it instead via source (for 4.0 branch). So, I installed the rpm by "sudo rpm -i --nodeps <a href="http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/etoys/5.0.2406/1.fc17/noarch/etoys-5.0.2406-1.fc17.noarch.rpm" target="_blank">etoys-5.0.2406-1.fc17.noarch.rpm</a>". a) and b) CONTINUED TO FAIL (meaning that the change did not take effect). So, Bert, (i) Could the new rpm for squeak-vm (from 4.0 branch) also be rolled out; so that the mpeg-plugin change could also be tested end-to-end. (ii) Kindly provide me a snapshot of your last commit, so that I may go through the mechanics of making the change in etoys. I would then subequently like to fix cases c) and d) :-) Thanks a ton ....

It will take a lot longer, and you will not get the new supporting files like translations etc. You need to say "yes" when asked to advance to etoys 5, "no" when asked to load newest packages. Then update again, this time you can say "yes" to the newest packages.] > > - Bert - </div>Oh, and news from the dev meeting: Peter packaged Etoys 5 for Fedora.
