emerge unmerge realplayer mplayer should do the trick. What was your problem exactly? A realvideo file doesn't play? How does it fail? Have you tried different realvideo files from different sources? Are those files local or are you playing a stream from a realserver? Cheers, Juri -- Juri Haberland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
