How do I download a video file or an mp3 file. When I click on them Tonido attempts to play them ( it won't play videos anyway so I'm not sure what the thinking was there, in fact it usually hangs my session). It plays mp3's but I don't always want to play them, many times I just want to copy them.
Please advise!

If you go to the listing view, on each file entry, there is a way to open an action menu next to the share icon, clicking on it, will allow you to "download" the file.

Sorry about that...I was right clicking in 4 different browsers thinking it was a browser issue. thanks.
Any plans to support video w/o having a plug?

If you have the VLC plugin installed, you can play some videos like MP4 directly on the browser.

Note that on Feb. 18th a new VLC player was made officially available. It's v2.0.0, a major realese that according to Videolan's website comes with:

    -Faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC.

    -New rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos.

    -Support for many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental).

    -Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces.

    -Fixes for several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

So it can make video playback experience within Tonido even better.

The previous version I had installed on my computer did'nt realize that there was a new release available, even when I checked it manually. So, don't trust automatic version checker and visit Videolan's website.

You can download VLC Player v2.0.0 from http://www.videolan.org/vlc.

Regards.
