WilliamS Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Has anyone got Realplayer working? I've just uninstalled it again, have had no success. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 I haven't had any problems with it. 1. which rpm are you using? 2. what are your symptoms? E.g. doesn't start at all, starts but does not play anything, etc. Error messages when you start it from a console window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I've never got it to work and I've tried about 5 times over the past year :roll: no errors either....just sits there looking like the poor linux port it is. :roll: I don't spend a lot of time trying because it appears as though it just works for people...but not me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 are we talking about the RealPlayer or RealOnePlayer? The Realoneplayer seems not to run unless you run it as root - that was my experience at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 realplayer for me....I didn't know there was a realoneplayer for linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 well, the realoneplayer is an alpha version. you can get it from Real.com when you go to the download page for realplayer. There is a virtually impossible to notice link at the bottom of the page. it's not worth trying out though imho. I can only say that I never had any problems with realplayer - I've installed the one from Mandrake club, Real's rpm, Texstar's rpm and they all work for me - which doesn't help you at all, of course. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Do you use a proxy server? Realplayer as any other client downloads files, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtweidmann Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I use the RealPlayer RPM from MandrakeClub, and it works fairly well even when embedded in a web page. But I have found that it doesn't like arts very much. If an app has used arts a few minutes before I try to run RealPlayer it freezes on start-up. My solution is simply to leave a nice big gap between running an app with sounds and RealPlayer. Or running RealPlayer in IceWM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I used Texstar's RPM and have had NO problems whatsoever with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris:b Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Same here. Texstar's Realplayer rpm is working fine here with Konqueror, Mozilla, Opera 7.11 (on ML 9.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamS Posted June 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 A lot of twiddling, and still all I get is a small window showing name of the radio station. I'm using RealPlayer-8.0-5mdk.i586.rpm What happens when I click on a link is the small window mentioned above. At http://service.real.com/test/ the sound is perfect. And when I try View/Preferences/Transport/Automatically select best transport/auto-configure it says: could not connect. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 what is a small window? apparently you do get at least the menus and it is playing all right. What exactly are you missing? Do the video streams play? automatic transportation configuratrion does not work for me either - probably b/c my router has a firewall enabled - but that doesn't prevent me from playing streams and you can play streams as well if I understood you right.
