[opensuse] RealPlayer
My wife decided to subscribe to the Big Brother feeds (ugh!) and wants
to view them on my laptop. However, RealPlayer 10 gives me error
messages when I try to open a URL both on SuSE 10.1 and Suse 10.2.
http://www.real.com/bigbrother
If I try to use an http URL from Real Player it complains. I clicked on
the signin, and it tries to load signin.rnx.
In any case, I know this is an RTFM, but my wife wants to be portable.
As I mentioned, I have RealPlayer 10 and Helix installed. I did a quick
search on the OpenSuse archives and was not able to find the
information I needed. (I know this was discussed before, but as I
mentioned, I was not able to locate the info I needed).

There are a few possible solutions: 1.) Stop watching Big Brother (And tell her it's stupid to pay for feeds. (just kidding) 2.) Tell us what the error is, so we can check it out for ya.. Also, does your "Real Player" work with things that have been downloaded? On Thursday 05 July 2007 07:43, Jerry Feldman wrote:

I told her last year. It's bad enough that she watches that drivel on
TV :-)

So far nothing. I can't reproduce it until later on.

Here is one of the tests I ran from Firefox (this was just the first
URL I clicked on Real.com to test it).
http://www.film.com/tv/story/liveearthmusicgoesgreen/15351235
Click on one of the videos. On my system I get the message:
"Could not find an appropriate hxplay or realplay in the system path to
use as an embedded player"
I've got helix as a plugin:
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible
File name: nphelix.so
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible version
0.4.0.622 built with gcc 3.3.3 on Jul 18 2006
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin RealPlayer Plugin Metafile
rpm Yes
If I go to realnetworks.com: (Click on bottom of real.com)
http://www.realnetworks.com/?pageid=linuxHomePage&pageregion=footer&src=realhome_linux_bb_0_1_1_0_0_3_0&pcode=rn&opage=realhome_linux_bb
and click on "Watch: Using a Content Delivery Network", it downloads,
opens and plays correctly on RealPlayer 10.
But, if I go to http://www.real.com/bigbrother and click on signin, it
wants to download signin.rnx, and when I try to open with RealPlayer
10 it pops the message:
The player does not have the capabilities to play back this content.
Click on details:
The following components are required:
mx
URL: file:///...../signin.mx
Note that signin.rnx was downloaded.
Again, my primary objective is for my wife to view the BigBrother feeds
on my laptop (SuSE 10.2).
