# Well, to watch RealPlayer streams, download RealPlayer (from www.real.com) -

# To watch mpegs, you can use many programs... I think RealPlayer will handle

#
# To watch MS .asf format type stuff, I think mplayer will work
# (mplayer.sourceforge.net).

Then you get plugger 3.3 at http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html, read the
helps on the site, and get the suggested apps that are mentioned in pluggerrc
file, and off you go. He even has a page for testing your setup. Some work
well, some less than perfect.
