I assume eplayer is ezxplayer which is a lot different than zmplayer. Zmplayer doesn't support .flv files anyways

so far i know it worls only with ePayer (=mPlayer based like the most of the other video players too on mororola linux phones), i tried it with zMplayer but it didnt work, but i havnt tryed with jPlayer and other ones yet...

for a1200/E6 users the ePlayer should work also with the A1200 and E6 just try to install and use it..

and, DO download the real .flv (Flash player video-) files and NOT these mp4/avi/psp variants that you also can find on the sites!

i try xmplayer and ezxplayer and yes,they supports .flv video but not too good.it was lagging too much.but eplayer,its perfect.
