^^ WTH am talking about Linux and its open Source forum :p

[purujitb]

real player work in linux too

[QwertyManiac]

VLC doesn't play Real Media format. AFAIK only the RealPlayer (Check UbuntuGuide to install it) and XINE can play it fairly decently.

And older versions of .rm will not work on Linux at all. You need an old MPC + Codec pack to make it work.

^^^ Please elaborate it please :p with installation steps ;)

[vish786]

thats why i have all linux audio & video players on my comp & still they consume very less space. :p

Canonical Repositories have RealPlayer 7 in them. That should work good enough. (Canonical Repositories are enabled if you have Opera installed already, else just uncomment them in sources.list)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install realplayer

[ray|raven]

Its dri.RealPlayer videos play as if stuck,if dri isnt enabled.
i experienced this.
But,IMO RealPlayer sucks.
Dude,u said u had MPlayer installed.
Did u get the w32codecs package too?

If not get them from here:

Scroll down to the Binary Codec packages, and download the one for ur system.

I have downloaded realplayer.bin file. How to install it ??

[Dark Star]

Installing libdvdcss2 and w32 video codecs in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon

Support for WMV, RealMedia and other formats has been bundled into the w32codecs package. This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories due to licensing and legal restrictions.

For Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Users run the following command

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Now you need to copy the key using the following command

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Update the source list using the following command

sudo apt-get update

Install Codecs using the following command

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2

Using above download locations you can install most of the mutimedia codecs for ubuntu.

sudo apt-get update

Mplayer Plugin for Firefox

If you want to install Mplayer with plug-in for Mozilla Firefox run the following command

sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
.

I did all hat now Totem play .rm files but Mplayer and VLC did not :( Mplayer says fail to ope /location:mad:

[praka123]

in mplayer,u have to rightclick preferences>select audio=alsa,video=xv and now go to codecs and demuxer option.there try setting video codec=win32xx option.save and restart

now open a terminal and run:
"gmplayer /directorywherefileresides/dsdsds.rmvb" to see whether it works and also if it errs,look at terminal for more details.

for Xine,U have to do the same,but u have select "master of the universe" option to customize.

[rahimveron]

Does nt Helix Player play rm?

[praka123]

^No afaik.but mplayer/xine plays!
