Real Player - Streaming Video [solved]

Recommended Posts

I have lost the ability to watch video streams on my KDE desktop. ¨About:plugins¨ appears to show all the correct plugins as being installed (see below). The strange thing is they will run from any browser if I switch to a Gnome desktop. Any suggestions? (apart from if it works don´t fix it) :D

If it works, don't fix it.

 

Just kidding  :lol2: . What browser are you using? Firefox?

 

I like your sense of humour! :D . Actually it was working'(see my previous posts) but I fixed it :lol2: - just don´t know how. I am using Mozilla 1.7.2 and Konqueror 3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3).

I think the problem started either when I installed Xine and MPlayer to try to get an AVI file to run. I suspect this is a KDE issue because both browsers will run a video stream if I switch to a Gnome desktop at log on.

That really is very odd... anyone have ideas?

 

I guess try reinstalling all your plugins.

 

I fixed it by uninstalling XIne through the Mandrake control centre. I searched for Xine and removed only the packages that didn´t appear to have any ¨none xine¨ dependencies. Wnen I had done this I found I could play AVI and WMV files through Mplayer - good - that is what started all this! :thumbs:

But still no streaming video so I downloaded and installed Firefox to see if this made any difference - no :D. So i uninstalled Real Player and re installed it using RealPlayer10Gold.rpm. (which I had done previously - twice) and voila I can now watch the RAM files from the BBC once again! :drum:

 

One strange side effect - although I am in KDE the appearance of my desktop has changed to look like the default Gnome desktop. :cheesy:

 

Hope this helps someone :thanks:

 

I love those smily thingies!!
