Hi Alfred,

I was enjoying the most recent build of FX 3 for Solaris, and I experienced 
repeated crashing related to the RealPlayer 10 plugin which is included in Sol 
10 11/06 in /usr/lib/RealPlay. In the FX 3 plugins directory, I had made 
symbolic links to the .so and .xpt files in the mozilla directory of the 
realplayer installation, as I have for Mozilla 1.7 and FX 2. The following URL 
will crash FX 3 badly:

http://www.digital-one.fi/realplayer.html

This link worked fine in your previous Minefield build of FX3, in FX 2, and in 
Mozilla.

Now, I hate realplayer with a mad passion. However, I thought I would pass my 
experience on to you, as there seems to be a change in behavior regarding 
realplayer 10 between the test build and the current build, and this could 
point to other issues. Does the above URL work for you with the realplayer 10 
plugin installed in FX 3?

The readme for the TJHSST build of FX 3 states:

RealPlayer:

The RealPlayer 10 Mozilla plugin does not work with this build. You need at
least RealPlayer 11 to use the plugin.

1. Download RealPlayer from http://www.real.com/
2. Create a directory and extract the tarball in that directory.
3a. Run Bin/install to use the automated installer
OR
3b:
cd /path/to/<Firefox install location>/plugins
ln -s /path/to/<RealPlayer install location>/mozilla/nphelix.so
ln -s /path/to/<RealPlayer install location>/mozilla/nphelix.xpt
ln -s /path/to/<RealPlayer install location>/realplay /usr/bin/realplay
NOTE: You may need to define HELIX_LIBS in /path/to/<RealPlayer install
location>/realplay script to /path/to/<RealPlayer install
location>.

I cannot get rp 11 to work correctly on my sparc box. The realplay script must 
be modified to export HELIX_LIBS and localization (URL-8), and even then I 
can't get any real movies or sound clips to play properly in FX 3 using the rp 
11 plugins.

Do you recommend rp 10 or rp 11 to work with the current FX 3 build? Or do you 
suggest avoiding any version of realplayer?

Thank you...
