Warren has been working hard to improve multimedia support for MEPIS users. The latest versions of Firefox, mplayer, and Mozilla mplayer plugin for 32 and 64-bit SimplyMEPIS 6.x and the latest version of the nsplugin wrapper for 64-bit SimplyMEPIS are now available in the MEPIS pools.

Also, Windows Streaming Video is now supported by default. This feature was not enabled in earlier builds because of concerns about reliability. It is sensitive to network congestion and should be used only if no other option is available.
