I banned Real from my system, way back when, when I saw what it did to and with my windows 98se system.
Many of us in England would like to, but our (generally) great BBC has chosen to supply its huge volume of 'listen again' and live feeds only in Real and/or MS formats. To access them from a browser is just too painful unless via the RealPlayer mozilla plug-in - the only reason I have it installed. As someone else on this thread noted, at least the Linux version is rather less invasive than that for MS. My only issue with dropping it is how we present this to a new user when they try to follow a link like these BBC ones - if we can catch it and suggest that they head over to Real's site to get and install the RPM I'm not too unhappy. Just a bald error message is *NOT* good enough for something like this. Further, and maybe veering OT, I know that other players (e.g. Kaffeine) can utilise the codecs, but it's a real fiddle to acquire the relevant URL to hand to them from e.g. the BBC 'listen again' pages. Unless anyone knows something I don't? BTW - the Kaffeine plug-in breaks the RealPlayer one if both are installed! -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
