[commandline] trplayer kludge, but it works (fwd)

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Interesting. It's available on Archlinux too, I'll give it a spin. In
my experience, mplayer can play simple flash files, but most of the
ones I've encountered have been compressed swf format, seems like
nobody posts swf any more unless it's compressed.

Thanks,

Chuck
