OK. Installed from RealPlayer10GOLD.bin. Symlinks are in place. Shows up in about:plugins. But, BBC radio is a nogo, as above. Same failure at CSPAN, btw. On sites other than those two, RealPlayer works fine. Well, not the Amazon realplayer samples - says their codecs are too old. I use xine for windoze media files - works fine. Oh well, as the old Indian in "Little Big Man" said - "Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
