I installed RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm a few days ago to
watch a video from a band that I wanted to see video. AlterBridge (Creed
minus SS) and it plays the video fine. Helix was available on the same
site that realplayer was on. It needed a plugin or something for
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin.
If you install this rpm onto your system, (RealPlayer) it will be
located under /usr/local/RealPlayer<version>. You just need to choose
the application type when the prompt comes up in the browser. I assume
Fox News would work with the player also.
I forgot where I got the rpm from and am on a different system than the
one that I retrieved the rpms from. You might need to do a google
search for the location of the player.
