[MPlayer-users] How to play special files :)

[Mario Ohnewald]

Hello!
I am currently working on a project where mplayer plays all kin of uploaded
stuff automatically, based on a MySQL playlist.
The following questions might seem a little bit off topic, but i am hoping
that some linux geeks will have an opinion on this.

There are two file types i need to get solved :=)
1.) PowerPoint Presentations
2.) Flash Animations

Have you any idea how i could play those automatically from a script?
1.) Problem: I could run it with OpenOffice, but how does OpenOffice know
when the presentation is finished?! Or when the next slide is to be loaded
manually?
Could i convert it somehow?

2.) Flash: Playable with Browser Plugins, but how does the browser know then
the Animation is finished?


I am greatful for any advice!

Thanks, Mario
