MPlayer plugin & real media files.

Installed mplayer and mplayerplug-in
It works like a champ...
Only problem is I cant seem to use it to play .ram or .rm files from Real Media.

This site says its supported but disabled by default.

Can someone help to enable it?

You can use realplayer for linux to play embedded or other real media files.

I use mplayer plugin for mp3, wmv, and quicktime files, but not real files. For RealPlayer files, you can use the "free" player for Linux: http://www.real.com/ Version 10 is now available for Linux and it works well. I don't use a realplayer plugin, but have it open realplayer in a separate window.
