Actually I do, if I can't get Real streams to play in Totem — RealPlayer's UI is actually very good. (And I'd rather use a closed-source program with a decent UI than an open-source one with an awful UI, all else being equal.) > Maybe its a > problem with the codecs that you have (or probably don't have) > installed on the system? Ah, I thought installing Helix would also install all of the codecs it requires to decode the formats it claims to be able decode. I've tried replacing totem-gstreamer with totem-xine and adding libxine1-plugins; when launching the stream in Totem I get: “Totem could not play 'rtsp://rmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive-acl/farm/live24/news/news24_bb.rm?BBC-UID=44160878f377ebafeb19c8cfa020b2b3620130801174b4bf3012ecb8482b&SSO2-UID='. A problem occurred while loading a library or a decoder (cook.so).” -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] RealMedia streams (rtsp:) in Gutsy
I have the firefox plugin for xine, and helix player, and the .ram stream is working fine for me - you really don't want to clutter up your system with realplayer if you can possibly avoid it. Maybe its a problem with the codecs that you have (or probably don't have) installed on the system?

That address can be found by following the “Watch Live BBC News 24” link towards the top of http://news.bbc.co.uk/ then in the resulting pop-up following the “Launch in stand alone player” link.
