SUCCESS!!

 

I had a ton of trouble trying to install RealPlayer10Alpha since I didn't know what I was doing. First I fiddled around trying to uninstall Realplayer 8 (didn't have a clue, but did it somehow...don't remember).

 

Then when I downloaded the Installer (i.e. the .bin file), yesterday I tried the chmod x-thingy, but kept getting back the error message "too few arguments..." (not knowing what that was and what I was supposed to do).

 

Today I somehow did the chmod-thingy several times and then it worked (I guess I fiddled around in the root directory and deleted something else before I ran the command again.) Then I showed in my home "View Hidden Files" and the .realplayerrc file was there!

 

Then, as user, I did "whereis realplay" and it showed up in /usr/bin/realplay. When there I hovered the mouse over it (since it showed the symlink arrow) and it told me it was in /usr/local/Realplayer/realplay. I clicked on it, and the version 10 Alpha came up.

I went to www.cbs.com and played some of the videos of different shows (Survivor, etc) and all of them worked beautifully and perfectly...NO BUGS!

 

YEAH! :thumbs:

 

Finally as a non-geek I was able to do something by myself. I hope I can remember what I did (or successfully fumble through it again) on my laptop. :P

 

Cheers,

Looks like I am too optimistic, the trailer at this Movie Guide site would not play.....

Ok, the latest update is that this is a Linux Firefox bug which cannot pass the proper metafile to Realplayer for streaming playback:

 

There is already a Bugzilla entry on this:
