    ah. i forgot to explain the controls. use your finger to: * touch the screen and move it left/right to go fast forward/backward * move up/down to increase/decrease the volume * hit the screen like you would with a button and the movie pauses. do it again and it continues playing. when the video is paused (not playing) you have 15 seconds to start it before the next widget starts.

    When i try to set a file that isn't there it says 'file not found'. Once you have set anything in the config dialog you will never see the default video playing again.

    This widget does not seem to work on Virtual Chumby. It plays the default flv but will not play the 2 flv files that I tried.

    Great simple widget. It'd be awesome if it can take an URL for RSS feed containing multiple FLV urls in enclosures/links and plays them in order.
