sofasurfer Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I installed RealPlayer10Gold. When I click on a NPR audio stream (realplayer) I get a box that offers to either save the file (which is a .smil) or to open it with Kaffeine. Clicking Kaffeine goes nowhere. I went to configure>file associations, and under audio there is not a .smil ext to associate RealPlayer with. I did associate it with a vnd.rn-realaudio and deleted the current Kaffeine association but that must not have been the right extension cause I still get the offer to open the file with Kaffeine.

Floyd Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I went to configure>file associations, and under audio there is not a .smil ext to associate RealPlayer with. That is where i would have looked also. i have found it under applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofasurfer Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 AAAHA!!! I got .smil stream working. I installed MPlayer then I installed the MPlayer plug-in. You must use Mozilla with MPlayer. Installed 'em, went to NPR, clicked real audio stream and it worked. I did have to open my mixer tho and crack the volume up. Down with HelixPlayer!! Down with RealPlayer!! BOOO! BOOO! BOOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 i listen to those streams with helixplayer, xmms or xine i don't believe i need mplayer or mozilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofasurfer Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 i listen to those streams with helixplayer, xmms or xine i don't believe i need mplayer or mozilla. Well I wish I knew how to do it because I really would rather use konqueror then mozilla. But I couldn't get them to work. Maybe I'll try again a little later.

Floyd Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 if i associate .smil with mplayer here then left click npr stream link i get if i copy link i get this is java script:getProgramStream(); i don't know what it means. is it an alias of x-smil script? "SMIL script" if so is path to java or java executable set up in konqueror here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofasurfer Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Holy cow!!! Configure through Konqueror! Never thought of it. I configured through system>config>kde>components>assoc. and that don't work. I just went and checked the konqueror config and sure enough, theres .smil. So, I'll reload helix and realplayer and try again. Tell me if I have this process correct...I install helixplayer and this gives me support for .smil and some others, and then I can install realplayergold and this gives me support for other stuff that isn't supported by helix. Correct? Do these players open automatically where needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Uninstall both Helix and Real, and just use kaffeine/kmplayer... (preferrably the latter, which is more bugfree). They do not offer any extra features over the regular xine/mplayer frontends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
