I've just tried www.c-span.org and had no problems with the streaming video and audio on RealPlayer 10. I also use the BBC site with no problems. I installed it using the .bin file and then copied nphelix.so to my plugin directory, and nphelix.xpt to my components directory (as instructed). Maybe you should check that these files are in place? You also have to remove the old RealPlayer 8 plugins if that was previously installed. David

Based on the actions taken by the RPM installation, I think symbolic links are a better idea than copies of the files. If you copy those files, subsequent updates to the RealPlayer software may encounter problems or leave the plug-ins used by the applications to which copies were made running the older version. Based on the file names you mentioned here, I used this command (at least a day after the installation!) to discover how these files were installed: % ll $( locate nphelix ) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56434 Jul 30 03:49 /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5086 Jul 30 03:49 /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt* I then replicated this symlink pattern in my Mozilla 1.7.2 installation.

Providing the plugin names don't change - like they did on this occasion! I guess I just copied them because the instructions said so, but I think your suggestion is probably the more elegant way to do it. My nphelix.xpt is in the components directory, however, not the plugins directory. Again, as instructed by Real. David David

Hi Yogi, I know this isn't much help to you specifically, but I installed RP10Gold in RPM format during the course of this discussion, and went to the site you listed and RP10 did get the feed from it. What I can suggest is comparing your RP10 configuration with some one who is getting the feeds. Mike

-- Linux user No: 256242 Machine No: 139931 G6NJR Pete also MSA registered "Quinton 11" A Linux Only area Happy bug hunting M$ clan PGN The biggest problem I had was the fact that installation of RP10 [apparently] broke the path to RP8, so one had to use the full path to get there. RP10 wasn't substituted in the path, and Firefox still wanted RP8. When I told it where RP10 was it just said 'huh!' and didn't do anything about it. This happened both w/the .bin file where I selected the /usr/local directory & the RPM which, of course, installed to its default.
