RealPlayer

[Don R Maxwell]

Does anyone have RealPlayer9 running in Fedora?  I get the player to
load and display, but it only plays the first two notes of the welcome
sound and the rest is garbled.  None of my .mp3 or .ogg files will play.

Specifically, I have RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-6.i386.rpm installed.

The real goal is not so much playing the .mp3 or .ogg files as much as
to be able to listen to some streaming music.

Any pointers?

What kind of sound card do you have? Are you running GNOME or KDE? What
kernel are your running?

(There might be other info that would help, but these questions are the
ones immediately at the top of my mind.)

Also, does running realplay like this:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 realplay
or
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 realplay
help at all? (This assumes you're using bash as your shell; that's the
default. If you aren't using bash, adjust the syntax accordingly.)

If you use the "env" command, you don't have to worry about the 
differences between shells:

env LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 realplay

It's also useful when you're setting up launchers in GNOME, where you 
can't do the sh style "var=value command".

I managed to get Real Player 8 working on my box.  Go to the Xine
Homepage.  There is a link to a guy's homepage that builds nightly Xine
Releases on a RH 7.3 box.  They've worked great on my computer.  I can
watch Real Player files, mpeg, wmv, avi, etc.  I also downloaded gxine,
and the Mozilla plugin for it, so now I can do all of this seamlessly in
Mozilla or Epiphany.
