i am trying to play BBC audio from the "Listen to music by genre" area. First i was prompted to install Realplayer. I did so and it installed except for not placing an entry into the K system menu (that was easily remedied)
However, I'm still getting the "you must first install RealPlayer" message when i try to run BBC audio. I ran RealPlayer and clicked "check for update" and the Realplayer website says I have the current version installed.
I checked the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory and i have the following symlinks:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2009-04-24 13:27 flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2009-04-24 15:28 libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-04-28 07:19 nphelix.so -> /opt/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2009-04-28 07:19 nphelix.xpt -> /opt/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt
which, as far as i can see, are the correct links to use realplayer.
here's where it gets weird: if I reboot the system, I can play "Listen Live" through Flash. As soon as I try anything that requires RealPlayer, though, I am prompted to install real player AND flash will no longer play anything.
Help?
