Will Realplayer work on Karmic Koala (AMD64)

[mtek]

Hi,
I would like to install realplayer, especially the firefox plugin. Will it work in the amd64 environment? Also, where's the best place to get it? I have used google and other searches and the suggested location vary a lot with no information about a version that runs in a 64bit system.

Thanks

There is a version of realplayer in the medibuntu repository

Thank you skunk, but I really want the firefox plugin. I tried the helix plugin for firefox but it doesn't work on the sites I'm interested in. Is there something I should do with realplayer or is there somewhere else to get the actual firefox plugin??

Thanks

I think mine is using the Mplayer plugin for that but if you post me a link to some of the content in Q I'll see if I can see what my firefox is playing it with/or not

if I try to play the top link (watch the show) firefox opens a new page and tryes to play with the Mplayer plugin (but dosent sucsed)

if I play the second (watch now on RTE player) it opens with flash player 10.

the therd down (RTE news now) playes in flash as well.

so I gess that my gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so Mplayer plugin isent working well with realplayer files after all.
