[LUG] Realplayer summary

[Robin Cornelius <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Realplayer is working perfectly for me now on my home system with
Firefox. I gave up with Helix player for the minute. So this is a
summary of the install.

Download www.real.com/linux/

Its binary only so thats i386 compatability only. (Where as helix is
opensource and so can be rebuilt for other ARCH's)

firstly download the RealPlayer10Gold.bin file

chmod +x RealPlayer10Gold.bin

Ensure firefox and/or mozilla is installed before running the realplayer
setup

and run

./RealPlayer10Gold.bin

For system wide install at the options set the folder to
/usr/local/RealPlayer or whatever you want.

edit /etc/profile and add to the PATH line real players path (example
taken from my system)

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/RealPlayer"

logout and back in, jobs done.

In firefox go to the following URL

about:plugsins

and check for "Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible"

The go to bbc.co.uk/news and watch the video news :-)
