IIRC, Realplayer was removed from 11.2. You may have to look in the Pacman repo for it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

iirc, it was removed per realplayer's request???? And it is not available from packman. I believe it must be obtained from: http://www.real.com/linux the version is 11Gold and if it is similar to previous version, not much account.

I don't know, but *you* have the package address. And if it fails for some reason, you know where to report. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And I am still waiting on Carlos, to tell me if he used the rpm or the binary and if it works in his favorite gnome or in kde. As far as trying the dl myself, there are some issues. my last 11.2 attempt (about 4 months ago) failed to properly register or failed bringing up the update repositories after registering, i filed a bug report which went nowhere, so i am waiting for the upcoming official release version before i mess with that partition again, so i asked the brave ones on the list. if you want, i will post the results when i try relplay in 11.2. btw, you wouldn't have a realplayer solution for 11.1 while we are waiting for 11.2 , would you? regards, d.

I downloaded the rpm (from the realplayer site, there is no other one). I use it on Gnome. It should work fine in kde, it is not distro specific or desktop specific. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi, I use the RealPlayer because I need it to play files that have powerpoint and audio synchronized, and it will play them. This file is called a SMIL file, synchronized media integration language. The easiest way that I have found to install the player is to download the .deb file from www.realplayer.com to my Desktop. After that, fire up your terminal program and use the following commands: ~cd /home/yourusername/Desktop #chmod u+x RealPlayer11Gold.bin #./RealPlayer11Gold.bin That will install the program. To finish the installation completely, follow these commands #exit ~realplay This will start the player and allow you to complete the installation. Please note that RealPlayer is started using the console command realplay, not realplayer. Hope this helps you.

There was a thread from last year titled: RealPlayer dropped from openSUSE, why? Dated 10/31/08 - 11/04/09 on the factory list. Anyway, the reason it was removed was that Real licensed the Windows Media Codecs and in order to include RealPlayer it would have cost because you have to pay a fee to license the codecs, regardless of what Real's website claimed. That's also why openSUSE doesn't include MPlayer and VLC because they have incoporated license-"required" code like libdvdcss and mpeg2 and other stuff which makes it technically illegal to use them in the United States. Anytime I play a DVD on my linux boxes here in the US I'm violating the DMCA because I'm using an "unlicensed" program to defeat the encryption of a DVD. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, apparently they made it non-redistributable, so, it can not be included in the distro. But it is easy enough to download from their site, install and run.
the version is 11Gold and if it is similar to previous version, not much account. VLC is *much* better.
RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm Yes, there are better /free/ programs, but there are files that I haven't been able to watch with mplayer nor xine: for instance, the videos recorded by my Nokia cellphone (.3gp, ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, 3GPP). Curiously, zypper dup (rc1 to rc2) removed it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
