Gary, mplayerplug-in does play real video up to version 9 I believe (may have changed recently). It is not very stable and will crash firefox if you try to leave the page the stream is playing in (including closing firefox). I could not get realplayer plugin to work so I suffer through this limitation. To enable it, follow these steps 1. Either rm or rename /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nphelix.so and .xpt or edit the /etc/libmap.conf file and comment out the section about realplayer (this is what I have done) 2. edit /usr/X11R6/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and change the line that says #enable-real=0 to 1. 3. Restart mozilla/firefox and real video will now play in mplayerplug-in. Hope this is what you were looking for. I don't think there is any other video plugin that will play all that. You might have a look at plugger. David
