all is going well, 3 machines and one server all running Ubuntu 7.1 OK but realplayer is a thorn.

In windows i had a simple rssreader v1.0 that played all the bbc news videos and radio no problem but requires realplayer.

I have realplayer installed (that wasn't easy) and i can play the radio but only by copying the url into the realplayer which works bit i need to open real manually and paste the source url in.

The worst is that I dont have a tv set and rely on my news reader for bbc video news video stuff.

I am sadly running a tsclient into my win box just for this reason, can anyone help me to sort it out so i can put my windows box away forever.

It may be because i am not embedding realplayer into firefox correctly.

Any tips much appreciated

I have tried firefox, thunderbird, akregator and many more, they all suffer the same probs so I hope this TV anality is an easy fix.
