Has anyone gotten Konqueror to play realplayer files ?

Yes; I routinely watch the BBC news and TV Deutsche Welle with Real Player 8 for Linux.

Specifically I can't get the ones at http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/video_index/video_index.html to run.

This one worked for me; however there was no place to use the standard player; I had to use the one provided by ABC.

Which one was that? I didn't see any offerings..... Mine would work up until the speed offering, and would fail to pull real player after I clicked a speed. They work ok under Netscape, because the mime and plugin sh scripts installed the realplay.so and the realplayclass.zip in /home/jerry/.netscape/plugins ..

...

It probably has something to do with Java but I haven't been able to get any other realplayer link to work either.

Make sure Enable Java Globally, Enable JavaScript Globally, and Enable Plugins Globally are checked in your Konquereor Settings.

I don't see any "Enable Plugins Globally" option, where is it?

Under Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Konqueror Browser -> Plugins. Make suer the box "Enable Plugins Globally" is checked. -- Cheers, Jonathan
