Hi: I know this is off-topic, but figured someone here would know, particularly given Xiph's involvement in Helix. Up till now I've used TRplayer <http://linux-speakup.org/trplayer.html> to play Realmedia content. This is because, as a Blind person, I've no need or desire for X11, and TRplayer uses the Realplayer libs without all that X overhead. but now I would like to play a stream that needs Realplayer 10, or at least seems to need it. The stream I tried to play, which is one of many clips on the site, sent a V3 RAM file which my current version understandably choked on. I tried extracting the URL and playing it, but it gave a vague, non-specific error message (not surprising when I'm not really getting the UI it was designed for). Ultimately I'm looking for a text-mode interface to the latest Linux player for Real content, but I'll settle for cludging with XVFB if I have to (that's what we used to do before TRplayer came along). I'm guessing that HelixPlayer is probably the go, but this stuff doesn't seem very intuitive. The real.com site has a sucky javascript front page and I'd rather not have to mess with that in my non-javascript browser if I don't have to. All help appreciated.

Hello. Does the latest Linux real player support RealAudio 10? The RealVideo codec is available as a upgrade but does it include RealAudio10. As far as I know TRPlayer uses the installed Real libraries so it should work if RealPlayer supports it. Also would you mind sending me your compile of TRPlayer? I had some problems compiling it under Redhat 9.

And like I said before, I've not yet tried to wrestle with the real.com site directly.> Also would you mind sending me your compile of TRPlayer? I had some problems > compiling it under Redhat 9.I just sucked down the binary distribution to save myself the bother. You need the realmedia SDK in order to compile it anyway. I note that there's an RPM on the trplayer site, so maybe this will also work for you.
