Unfortunately, no, I don't hink it will work with the native Netscape. You can, however, install something like XSwallow, and configure it to use RealPlayer for any embedded data. > I am not shure if this plugin is needed anyway, what it is good for, if > I couldnt run realplayer with some tweeking of the netscape preferences. I very seldom run across any "Real" data embedded in web pages (which would require a plugin). Incidentally, after installing the latest RealPlayer, I realized that my instructions to use "brandelf" on the executables was unnecessary. Works just fine as is. I've submitted a port of XSwallow to the ports collection, by the way, but it hasn't been committed yet. If you'd like, I can send you the package.
