RealPlayer 10 won't work with Slackware 10.1 browsers!


Realplayer won't work with

a. Mozilla 1.7,
b. Firefox 1.0.3 and
c. Konqueror 3.3

I have tried googling and tried this Gentoo RealPlayer 10 Howto method but to no use.

I can't listen to REAL audio at Dishant Hindi Songs and Raaga Hindi Songs.

When i run firefox/mozilla from Konsole i get this output:

Code:
root@fast:~# mozilla
Calling realplay
playeripc: Got command Version 1
playeripc: Got command Embed type='audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin' scriptcallbacks='All' name='RVOCX' src='http://real.dishant.com/realaudio/jukebox/playselected/playselected4112.smil' nojava='true' autostart='TRUE' nolables='TRUE' controls='InfoVolumePanel,PositionSlider' console='one' height='85' width='285'

Got url http://real.dishant.com/realaudio/ju...ected4112.smil

/usr/bin/realplay: line 75: 13431 Segmentation fault      aoss $REALPLAYBIN "$@" 
I have copied the .xpt file to component folder and linked the .so file to firefox and mozilla plugins folder.

I wonder if any Slackware 10.1 user is using RealPlayer 10 working with their firefox/mozilla/konqueror!

Please help!

Hi,
Even i have been trying to play files from raaga.com for quite some time.

One Alternative would be to Install Wine and then Install IE 6 and Real One Player, but I dont like using wine myself.

So I tried mplayer plugin following slackie1000 's advice.

I have succesfully installed mplayer plugin. But am still unable to listen to files from raaga.com .

so i checked

about:plugins

in firefox and it has mplayer plugin enabled but only quicktime and windows media files are enabled so can someone please tell me how to add rmvb files to this list too.
also i can play rm files using mplayer from the shell

EDIT:

Ok i found out from player plugin site that by default rm and ram mime type are't supported and have to enable them in the mplayer-plugin conf file locate in either of these locations:
$HOME/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf
$HOME/.mozilla/mplayerplug-in.conf
/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf

but i dont have either of these files after installing mplayer plugin. now this is confusing.

I even copied mplayerplug-in.conf from the source to /etc and did the changes so that it would play rm files but still no use.

Please help

You just need to install the realmedia codecs for mplayer, then set the association inside Firefox/Mozilla preferences.
The plugins are available via mplayers website.

i already have the real media codecs as i can play all real media files using mplayer.
only mplayer plugin is 't playing real media.

also i have to say mplayer plugin is working very well with quicktime and windows media streaming content

hi there,

from the top of my head....
mplayer plugin will be installed in user home directory. it will look for
$HOME/.mozilla/plugins
it means that if you installed as root, you have the user problem... need to copy.
about real player, did you compile MPlayer after you installed the codecs?
afaik real player plugin should just work fine also..

regards

ok according to : http://plugins.netscape.com/moreinfo.adp?PID=11383

the helix player plugin supports :
Support MIME types:
application/smil, application/streamingmedia, application/vnd.rn-realmedia, application/vnd.rn-realplayer, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rjs, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rjt, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmj, application/vnd.rn-realsystem-rmx, application/vnd.rn-rn_music_package, application/vnd.rn-rsml, audio/vnd.rn-realaudio, audio/x-realaudio, audio/x-pn-realaudio, audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin, audio/x-realaudio, image/vnd.rn-realflash, image/vnd.rn-realpix, text/vnd.rn-realtext, text/vnd.rn-realtext3d, video/vnd.rn-realvideo

Support file extensions:
.rpm

and i have installed helix player too and have nphelix.so and xpt in their respective places so that firefox and netscape and mozilla can use them
and when i see aboutlugins for all the three browsers they show the helix plugin and also mplayer plugin now includes

audio/x-pn-realaudio RealAudio ram,rm Yes
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin RealAudio rpm Yes

but when i play a file from dishant.com it says please install the plugin to play files of mime type audio/x-pn-realaudio

now this is baffling. is it cause the suffixes are only ram and rpm and should also include rm ??

Please help.

At least Konqueror works!

I got Dishant.com working with konqueror 3.3 and 3.4 (kde 3.4 upgrade) with KMPlayer 0.9.0-pre3, i can listen to songs at www.dishant.com but unfortunately firefox and others are not working even after installing the mplayerplugin. And konqueror + embedded kmplayer won't play at Raaga.com only the player window. Got any suggestion to improve the situation?

I've got these:

1. Xine 1.0.1
2. Mplayer 1.0pre7 (with Real and XVid, LIVE streaming support compiled)
3. kmplayer 0.9.0-pre3
4. Win32codecs (all) in /usr/lib/win32

if you have other player like Kaffeine installed then KMPlayer might not get the chance to play the embedded media. please remove kaffeine if you want to play with kmplayer.


Is there any way to use KMPlayer with Firefox or Mozilla or Netscape?

I'd go with mplayer, myself.... get the codecs and such. compile... then get the nice mozilla plugin for it. I've tried it with mozilla and firefox and it works with both.. it works great.

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/


go through some of the documentation and make sure you configure it properly and the cache settings to fit your internet connection and (if it's good) greatly improve the performance of the plugin.

here's my /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
Code:
debug=0
#logfile=$HOME/mpp.log
vo=xv,x11
ao=arts,esd,alsa,oss
#download=1
#dload-dir=$HOME/tmp
#keep-download=0
#noembed=0
cachesize=256
cache-percent=10
#use-mimetypes=0
enable-real=1
enable-wm=1
enable-qt=1
enable-mpeg=1
enable-ogg=1
enable-smil=1
qt-speed=med
rtsp-use-tcp=0
nomediacache=0
framedrop=1
autosync=0
mc=1
black-background=1
#user-agent=NSPlayer
I've never tried it with realmedia though... I've never seen it anywhere on the web.. I'll look...

QT works with MPlayerPlug-in

Thanks Dawallace for the mplayerplug-in.conf file, I can now see QT movies, one such on Archimedes Principle works nicely in firefox. But still no real Audio working Could you please try these links Abida Parveen Real Music at www.dishant.com and Mirza Ghalib Real Music at Raaga.com. Is it working for you or anybody here with mplayerplugin in firefox/mozilla/netscape?

Thanks again.

I can listen to BBC

I can listen to BBC NEWS Live Broadcast using Firefox 1.0.3, is that a REAL Stream? Perhaps it's a Bug with firefox 1.0.3 to not play at http://www.dishant.com or http://www.raaga.com Real Media clips.

rizvan i think the sites have some stupid java scripts running to avoid ripping the streams off their site, and this is causing us linux users problems.

well i am giving up trying to get these sites to play. I am happy with shoutcast radio stations on xmms.

I am closely following this thread and i've tried to open sites mentioned by rizvan and gtgoku. I have mplayer compiled with all codecs, I have mplayerplugin compiled and installed and works fine with other online music sites but for the two sites mentioned. I also have real player installed and as far as I know everything should be fine but it seems those sites are designed with obscure tools which allow only windows to play their media and not any other OS...strange...anyway...I dont have any suggestion but I just wanted to post one more confirmation of the discussion that has taken place in this thread.

Tux,
