The following is the text I tried to add as a follow-up to Alexander's blog, but could not (presumably, due to glitches of the web-site): <<How is this different from the already existing port of multimedia/helixplayer ? It would seem, the existing port is only missing the few codecs, which Real can not or would not open-source. I'd like to propose, that you concentrate on porting these codecs ONLY and rely on the already existing multimedia/helixplayer port already being there (RUN_DEPENDS, maybe BUILD_DEPENDS). Considering my (pending) multimedia/helixplugin, you, probably, should not bother with the browser plugin either... Good luck! Yours,>> -mi
