You must have the win32 codecs. Fast forward and such in a Real stream will be a bitch. But it plays. Then you want to go through the mime types in konqueror's config and set kmplayer to the first app to play such types with. And for embedding (the other tab) set the kmplayer_part or whatsitcalled as the first or only. Mime types would include/have: vn-realmedia, rm, ra, ram, rv, smil, vn-realaudio vn-realvideo, x-pn-realaudio, and several other older ones. If you don't find them all at first you'll find them when encountering a oddly mime-ified stream that wont play. There's another way to have Real with konqueror, and that is with the plugin that comes with the realplayer port. It may have poor layout in the webpage but at least it does support moving back and forth in the stream. To make this work you use the linuxpluginwrapper port and an appropriate libmap.conf. Both work reasonably well, or equally bad depending on the tilting of the earth and the humidity on the moon :) I usually prefer kmplayer because it can be used as a general a/v plugin replacement in konqueror and if something with Real doesn't work I can always try to "Open with.." realplayer instead.
