[newbie] RealPlayer
Does anyone know how to record realaudio streams? I tried using mplayer but either set it up incorrectly,or,because I use'tkpppoe' and an external modem, which uses ethernet, I wasn't able to connect.

Its a console program that is pretty easy to use, but you will also need to use a mixing board like Aumix to get your recordings right. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] RealPlayer
At last! For longer than I care to admit I've wanted to be able to record a stream. Truthfully, I'd given up trying to use vsound. Too many failures in the past methinks. But this is brilliant.Thanks for making me try vsound again.

If your sound card is capable of it you can record directly from your sound chip.

After installing Real Player (8) there is an object named rpnp.so located in /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/. Copy rpnp.so into your plugins directory. I am using Galeon 1.3.3 and Firebird 0.7 and both work with the RealPlayer plugin. Which plugins dir exactly, though. I would assume I have to create it, since I can find nothing in /usr/share/galeon, and I already have a file rpnp.so in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins. Not sure but I think the same applies to mozilla-1.4: I installed RealPlayer-8.0-6mdk.i586.rpm, RealPlayer-Codecs-9.0-2mdk.i586.rpm and mozplugger-1.3.0-8mdk.i586.rpm but couldn't get RealPlayer working in either mozilla-1.5 or firebird-0.7 (RealPlayer itself worked fine, just not from a browser). I had already created a symlink to /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so in both plugin directories, but alas... no go. The problem is that these newer versions of mozilla and firebird are compiled with gcc-3.2 but the RealPlayer plugin is compiled with gcc-2.95. Thanks to Mitch at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213234 we have a hack to get around this problem. After locating an old libgcc.a from gcc-2.96 on my system, I created the file (see attached rpnphack.so ) called rpnphack.so with the following parameters: ld -shared -o rpnphack.so \ /full/path/to/RealPlayer/rpnp.so \ /some/path/to/an/old/libgcc.a I then copied the rpnphack.so to the browser plugin directories, started firebird, tried RealNetworks' test samples at http://service.real.com/realone/test/ and VOILA!!! it works!

Just a guess mind you, but I suspect that the reason that you and a lot of other people are having problems with the Linux RealPlayer and streaming media is related to issues with the lack of DRM schemes under Linux.

I don't run 9.2 because of issues with my HPT372 controller and only need to run soundwrapper to prevent conflicts with Realplayer alone, all the other multimedia apps that I run have built in arts support. If I had to make a guess, I would say that this is because some developers don't anticipate arts running constantly and controlling the sound device, thus they try to access it directly and that causes conflicts.

Still it might be worth mentioning that the artsd problem (see earlier thread) might be preventing your Realplayer from doing the business. Try using the fix I described. You might find, as I have when trying to listen to BBC radio on the net (which uses Realplayer) that you actually need to start the player with the artsdsp /usr/local/RealPlayer8/realplay command *before* clicking on the video link. I may be talking through my arse here, but it can't hurt to try. NB. your Realplayer may not be installed in the same folder as mine.

[newbie] Realplayer Stillborn Under 9.2
Hi folks, The installation fiasco continues ... Last night I thought I would put RealPlayer 8 on my recently installed 9.2. However, having done so, when I started it up, I got mostly black space where the program should be and I had to kill it to get rid of it. There are no error messages when I start it from the command line (whether as graham or as root), so I don't know what's causing it. Tried downloading a new .rpm from Real but the result was the same. I know it's not a unique problem because I found some discussion of it in another forum but no-one had come up with an answer. Have any of you guys come across this problem and if so how did you fix it. Life without BBC playback is inconceivable. I could be going back to 9.0 if this can't be fixed.

I have found that killing the artsd process under the KDE desktop allows realplay to work fine and then you just need to restart artsd after you are done with realplay. I suspect that this is because realplay needs to send sound directly to the sound device which is already in use by artsd.

[newbie] Realplayer and web sites - solution
List, For any one else who uses realplayer and noticed that the help, music, or any thing else that uses a web browser does not work. I have a workaround. Seems realplayer is expecting Netscape to be loaded in /usr/bin/netscape. MDK9 does not have netscape it uses mozilla. What I did was make a soft link from /usr/bin/netscape to /usr/bin/mozilla. So that it will find netscape and launch it, but it's really starting mozilla. su (to root) cd /usr/bin ln -s mozilla netscape Worked for me. :-) Jim F Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I quit realplay, the config file (I assume that .RealPlayer_SDK something is the config) reflects the proper volume setting, but the program doesn't initialise on that volume level.

[newbie] RealPlayer
I recently switched from Windows to LM 7.2 and, while it has been a challenge, I am quite pleased. I do have a couple of issues, though. I am using Realplayer as a Netscape plugin and the quality of audio is awful. It seems to download in fits and starts with inadequate buffering. Changing the settings on Realplayer hasn't really made a difference. Any ideas? Arthur [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Pato: Just found my instructions attached to someone else's message. Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear friends: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS "Unix". This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with "a different architecture", the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add "kstart" you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the "kstart ..." and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. My thanks again to everyone who helped.

Re: [newbie]RealPlayer
Dear Marcia: You need to install it as root: $su root password then install it as follows: #./nameoffile.bin Then go back as user and install it as user: $realplay This will bring up the RealPlay dialogue box for you as user. I think I am right. I may be wrong since I am still using Real Player 7. The RealPlayer 8 ./bin version will install and play standalone files but won't play embedded files. RealPlayer 7 does. But due to an "rpm" installation conflict you can't install the RealPlayer 8 rpm file in Mandrake, which would play all files. Just wait a few weeks and Mandrake 8.0 will be out. Then you can install RealPlayer 8 and have everything. Yours, Benjamin P. S.

Hi, Remember that u have to take following precautions: 1) You have to be in SU mode to install 2) you have to be the the directory where u downloaded the .rpm file 3) after installing type "realplay" without quotes 4) If it does not work with realplay come out of SU mode and try again in normal user mode.

Rather than selecting the archiver, try downloading the .bin file. They have included more including icons for your panel. I have included the MIME instructions to get the streaming part of RealPlayer working. See below: If you happen to be using Netscape as your browser, the following was found very useful: 1. On my system, the executable installed to /usr/local/realplay 2. Open up Netscape and click on "Edit" and then "Preferences." 3. 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 Realplayer8. 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. 4. Click the "New" button to bring up a new mime type. 5. Enter the following settings, then click the "OK" button to save them. Description: RealMedia File MIMEType: application/vnd.rn-realmedia Suffixes: .rm Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay %s The description doesn't matter, but the rest does. Make sure to click the box next to "Application" to select realplay, and don't forget the "%s" part or it will just open Realplayer and not stream. If Realplayer is installed somewhere other than /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay, replace that part with your path. Another thing to watch is that you but the "." i.e .ra,.ram in front of the suffix. 6. Add the rest below: Description: RealVideo File MIMEType: video/vnd.rn-realvideo Sufffixes: .rv Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay %s Description: RealAudio File MIMEType: audio/vnd.rn-realaudio Suffixes: .ra, .ram Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay %s Description: RealAudio File 2 MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio Suffixes: .ra, .ram Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay %s Now, your Realplayer 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 as blocked streamed data. To get this up and running on you Linux box, add this last part into Netscape. Desciption: Live365 MIMEType: audio/x-scpls Suffixes: .pls Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/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 follwing: MIMEType: audio/mpeg Application: /usr/local/Realplayer8/realplay%s (Click OK) Desciption: MPEG Audio 2 MIMEType: audio/x-mpegurl Suffixes: .m3u application: /usr/bin/realplay %s (Click OK) That should do it. Now the RealPlayer will handle all that media from the web with little or no hickups. Enjoy! -- Roman Registered Linux User #179293 High Powered Penguin Email

I followed the links back to www.real.com, but they only have (that I could find) a new version 8 of RealPlayer for Unix. Its an RPM, so I d/l'ed it, and tried to install it, but it says its not the same architecture. So...how can I get a new version that works, or where can I find the older version 7 since it worked fine on my setup.

Re: [newbie] Realplayer question?
Ronald, I went to a site that uses realplayer, and I got a dialog box saying that it had expired. I followed the links back to www.real.com, but they only have (that I could find) a new version 8 of RealPlayer for Unix. Its an RPM, so I d/l'ed it, and tried to install it, but it says its not the same architecture. Sounds like Real Audio's tactics. Like Netscape, they just love to hide the stuff you want force you into upgrades which don't work properly. Chances are, your realplayer is fine. Did you try opening it, say, from the command line (type realplay) play some known URL? I've found that this works when I get those errors. So...how can I get a new version that works, or where can I find the older version 7 since it worked fine on my setup. If all else fails, try http://www.rpmfind.net search it out.

Re: [newbie] Realplayer question?
I have what I believe is a copy of rp 8 on my machine, it is an autoinstaller much like in mac, all you do is set the executable bit on the file, then run it by typing ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin Typing that period and slash added onto the front of the filename tells linux to directly execute the file. Do all this while logged in as the root user, but first, please download the file from my ftp server if you cannot find it on www.real.com ftp://kittypuss.org/rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin Let me know if the url works or not, the file is approx 6 or 7 megs long. Hope this helps. Vic On Mon, 01 Jan 2001, Ronald J.

Yep. ;-( Chances are, your realplayer is fine. Did you try opening it, say, from the command line (type realplay) play some known URL? I've found that this works when I get those errors. Actually, TBH, thats how I found it. I've got some *.RM files, and when I opened (or attempted to) with "RealPlayer" I got the expired message. So I went to some sites and ditto with Netscape. If all else fails, try http://www.rpmfind.net search it out. They usually have everything. I'll do that! (thanks to Kevin for the same pointer, also!) Thanks! -- /\ DarkLord \/

[newbie] Realplayer 8 is now installed!
Okay, I finally got it. Here is what I had to do (in case someone else runs into this same problem): As su/root: rpm -e RealPlayer (even though it was "expired") (there is a deps issue with a Realplayer rnp? RPM as well) Set the file below to be executeable. ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin (I d/l'ed this from Vics ftp site) follow installation prompts After its installed, do the same for your normal user account Add /usr/local/RealPlayer8 to my $path in /home/darklord/.bash_profile Delete the Realplayer G2 .kde link. Otherwise, everytime I did a "startx" I got a couldn't find mime type error. (I started to use the menu editor but it said it was not installed?) Thats it! I can once again play *.RM files locally as well as access them from web sites. Thanks to Kevin, Mepth, Paul, and Vic! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/

As a follow up, log in as root, open Konsole: a) Type in: chmod u+x rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin Press the enter key. Then, press either the up or right arrow keys. Instead of retyping, you call up the what you've typed from the previous line. b) Insert ./ in from of rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin so that it appears as shown below: ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin As Vic mentioned, the ./ allows you to execute the binary file Press the enter key. c) Install it to /usr/local/Realplayer8 Roman Vic wrote: I have what I believe is a copy of rp 8 on my machine, it is an autoinstaller much like in mac, all you do is set the executable bit on the file, then run it by typing ./rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.bin Typing that period and slash added onto the front of the filename tells linux to directly execute the file.
