How to associate RealPlayer with audio stream

[sofasurfer]

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.

Not sure what you mean. Right click on what? What do expect from right click?

That is where i would have looked also. i have found it under applications.

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!

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.

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?

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?

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.
