like eggman says, FTP support would be kind of nice.

This app is indeed great, but the two very generic avi files I've tried crashed my PSP, so the claim that it can run any video file is a bit off. Great for MP3s and other stuff and if it receives enough work, attention and functionality, it could become the definitive homebrew program. Keep up the great work.

[grin.ch]

does the flashplayer actually play flash games now or does the progress bar still freeze at the last segment?

And yes, I do agree - this program is one of the sickest homebrews I've seen. I use it all the time to rename files and move songs around and whatnot. This program shows more than you see when you are connected via USB. (I.e., Flash memory and stuff...)

Keep up the good work, 71M!! You rulz.

I haven't been able to find any increased capabilities with the flash player so far. In fact, despite the still limited capabilities of 71M's standalone version, I was able to get a couple of files to work in that one that locked up the PSP in this one.

Hi guys,
Thank you for all your support!

b8a: FA++ does take up more memory than the standalone player, so I'm guessing you've run out of memory? Keep in mind that the SWF player is still far from finished!

Cheers,
71M

Awesome I keep this right next to IRshell in my homebrew list. Keep it up!

You know what we still need though? The ability to launch any region UMD movies without having to make an ISO first...

this sounds like a begging post but it isnt.
has anyone got an xvid video to run using this version of fileassistant? if not i was wondering if adding codec support would be possible - most videos use xvid now and fileassistant wont touch the videos i have because of it, the sound plays but no video. is this the same for anyone else?

one small thing i noticed is that you can now no longer write to the flash1 with this version - i know this is because of the risk of damage but could it be re-added with maybe a huge warning or something in the future?

anyway this is becoming, and already is, a very very usefull program. well done.

one of the best apps aver, just a little buggy.

71M, thanks for the tip. I know that the flash module still has a long way to go, so I'd hate to ask you for any sort of detailed technical information about it's capabilities at this point, but a lot of people have reported being able to watch animated shorts on this, and I'm still having problems getting short (very short - 200 frames, 256k file size) animations and small (very small - less than 40k) files to work reliably. I work natively in vector graphics, so I tend to use flash for displaying fairly complex vector illustrations, but no matter how detailed or complex, the average file size is usually around 16k. Are there any vector rendering limitations that I need to keep in mind?

[71M]

Yup, there are quite a few restrictions with this Flash player.
I think the problem you are seeing is that the vector graphics are just too complicated for the player to display.
Have you tried 'optimizing' the vectors at all? I think it's probably getting stuck in the triangulation stage (which is particularly slow and memory intensive!).
There are a few animations here http://www.easy-monkey.co.uk/SWF/ which work relatively well. Maybe you can see how these animations are written and use similar methods?

It's pretty difficult for me to get every animation on the internet working for the PSP!

Cheers,
