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.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!
Here is e.g. the BBC Radio 3 link:
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra
This one you may play in VLC, Kaffeine, MPlayer ....
The way you find it out:
Open the BBC player in firefox -> CTRL-U -> a few HTML lines pop up. Close to the bottom line you'll find:
p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram">Click here</a> to launch BBC Radio 3 in Real Player.</p>
Enter the following command: "mplayer -dumpstream http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram"
and now: "cat stream.dump" will show you:
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra?BBC-UID=6439e06e2b970a635edc8a605060a3f146b95fecb0c0d1b424efd95f750851fe_n&SSO2-UID=
Forget the "cookie stuff" and use:
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra
and off you go without UnRealPlayer.
With: "mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile BBC_RADIO3.ram rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra" you may even record the live session for later listening, converting, burning, you name it.

I see what you mean "please install real player" I'm glad I don't want to listen to it. The above http links open in mplayer by default but they don't do anything.
