Downloaded an rpm for RealPlayer-8.0-1. Clicked and got Kpackage for rpms.
When the install started I got the message "Realplayer-8.0-1 is for a
different architecture." Looked for other rpms and found none. Anyone found
a good way to get RealPlayer in? Or any other way to stream ra format?

8.01?
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!
