I'm attempting to get rvplayer 5.0 working on my P6 based
system. I have RealAudio installed in /usr, its in my path, it's world
readable and executable, and it plays local files opened with the
rvplayer file menu
without any problem. However, I cannot get it to play any files from the
internet. I have my netscape applications set up as follows:

As an application:
Description -   RealAudio
mime type -     audio/x-pn-realaudio
suffix -        ra,ram

As a plugin:
Description -   RealPlayer(tm) as Plug-in
mime type -     audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
suffix -        rpm

I've tried deleting either the plugin or the application one at a time
to no avail. What happens if both are available, is the plugin will be
used. I'll open a real audio file, for example a live radio feed, and
the ubiquitous advertisement will pop up, then I'll see an instantaneous
flash of what looks like the real player app window, then it will
disappear. If I delete the plug-in, forcing to use the rvplayer app, the
ad will appear, the rvplayer will open. and it will just sit there. The
.ram file will never load, and the player will never work. If I manually
put a URL in the rvplayer's open location dialog, such as the test file
at Realnetworks site,
it will contact the site, then display "Buffering ..." but never advance
from that. If I
check the status lights on my ethernet hub, no activity is taking place.
Has anyone had similar problems, or can offer any advice. Thanks,
Jeff
