My helper list is empty, my plugin list is full.
And nothing happens when I get to .ra files or others... Simply proposes to download them to the local disk

Does it make any difference that my plugins are ".so" files ?



They should be, actually. Your helper applications list should be empty, also. The plugins take care of calling the apps when needed.

The "Helper Applications" list is EMPTY on my mozilla installation.
Do not know why.
I have lots of plugins that are declared to be installed (xine plugin, shockwave flash, default, javarpnp, nppdf) but NOthing in


the > Helpers.


So, may I ask you a favour?

 1. how could I install an Helper for each of the plugins ?
 2. also, I found 4 plugin directories on my system: mozilla,
    mozilla-1.3, mozilla-1.3.1, netscape.
    I have Mozilla 1.3.1.
    Should I keep all of the directories ?

thanks a lot.
Best regards


This is for an older installation but still works for the new
Mozilla. I saved them from an old message, sorry didn't save the
author's name...

1. If you don't have the player already, hit up this link and get
it. 2. Go ahead and install it.

3. On my system, the executable installed to /usr/bin/realplay. Find
out where it went on yours, and keep that info handy.

Now comes the fun part. Getting it to work with Netscape. According
to help file for the G2 player, it will only play real audio and
real video. But, that is incorrect as you will soon find out.

4. Open up Netscape and click on "Edit" and then "Preferences."

5. On the new screen that appears, click the little arrow next to "Navigator" and then "Applications."

On the right, you should see a list of all the mime types already in
the system. This is where we will be adding in the info to configure
the G2 player. Now, my system didn't have any of the stuff that
follows set up, but your might have a start. So, before you add
anything listed below, look to see if it is already there and
add/modify as needed.

6. Click the "New" button to bring up a new mime type.
7. Enter the following settings, then click the "OK" button to save
them.

Description: RealMedia File
MIMEType: application/vnd.rn-realmedia
Suffixes: .rm
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

The description doesn't matter, but the rest does. Make sure to
click the box next to "Application" to enable G2, and don't forget
the "%s" part or it will just open G2 and not stream. If G2
installed somewhere other than
/usr/bin/realplay, replace that part with your path. Another thing
to watch is that you but the "." in front of the suffix.

8. Add all of the following using the steps 6 & 7.

Description: RealVideo File
MIMEType: video/vnd.rn-realvideo
Sufffixes: .rv
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

Description: RealAudio File
MIMEType: audio/vnd.rn-realaudio
Suffixes: .ra, .ram
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

Description: RealAudio File 2
MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio
Suffixes: .ra, .ram
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

Now, your G2 player should work great with Navigator. But say you
hop over to live365.com and want to listen to for awhile. Well, live365.com sends you am mp3 play list, not a standard stream. This
is nice if you're sitting behind a firewall and your administrator
has blocked streamed data. To get this up and running on you Linux
box, add this last part into Netscape, again using steps 6 & 7.


Desciption: Live365
MIMEType: audio/x-scpls
Suffixes: .pls
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

So, now maybe you want to hop over to MP3.com and have a lsiten over
there. No problem. look down the list for "MPEG Audio." Once you
find it, click on it, then click on edit. Change the following:

MIMEType: audio/mpeg
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

(Click OK)

We have to add another one now. Follow step 6 & 7 to add this one
in.

Desciption: MPEG Audio 2
MIMEType: audio/x-mpegurl
Suffixes: .m3u
Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s

(Click OK)

That should do it. Now the G2 player will handle all that media from
the web with little or no hiccups. Enjoy!


We would like to hear your feedback.
