Streaming videos + firefox

Sordo · 02-17-2006, 02:38 AM

I have tried this tutorial:
RealPlayer 10
1. Install RealPlayer 10.
2. Copy nphelix.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and nphelix.xpt to your Mozilla components directory.
3. Make sure a symbolic link to the realplay script is in your PATH.

To get videos working on my firefox. I have everything else done, but I have no idea how to make symbolic link, the tutorial are asking for..
Please help, it might be easy, but it was hard to find /:

the link command is 'ln'. so man ln

say to make link from a file to a file:

ln -s <real file> <symbolic link>

e.g.

ln -s /tmp/something /home/me/something

so you need to create link from the script that starts Realplayer. not sure what that is. but you can type 'echo $PATH' to see your path. then you need to create a link to someplace in there e.g:

ln -s /usr/bin/realplayer /usr/bin/realplayer

i stress that you need to find the real location and name of realplayer etc.
