After I type in "realplay" (or the full path), yes, the linuxplugin doees appear. After two hours of fooling around, realplay does work, but it is not fully automatic. But I'm just happy that using the KDE tools that almosteverything Just-Works! thanks for your help, Dan.

In the list on the left? I bet it's also in some file, but that's what I do if
I want to change default viewer for certain mime types. The "search for file
pattern" is useful. Agreed, it helps if you know what to look for. Seems to
me that googling for 'realplayer mimetypes' or something would be a start.
Sorry that I can't easily present you with a complete list.

My first guess would be that that's for your unix account's email. KDE
settings and resource files are under ~/.kde/shared

I have this for Real plugin:
###
# Helix RealPlayer with Mozilla/Firebird/Galeon/Epiphany/Konqueror/Kazehakase
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so]
libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.5
libc.so.6 pluginwrapper/realplayer.so
libm.so.6 libm.so.4

The only Realvideo stream I regularly watch is DemocracyNow. It's perfectly
possible that their setup is weird or even that their "streaming solution"
tries to not serve non-official clients, such as mplayer. It's hard to tell.
I'd say that if it doesnt play in realplayer it wont play in mplayer either.

Yeah, I finally finally clicked on the Other tab. But then what?
Where are the mimetypes and config for konqueror??

I do have a ~/.mimetypes file on this server. Maybe I'll
just scp it over and see.

Well getting the plugin is a no-brainer; same with the
linuxwrapper/plugin port; but the libmap.cnf is another matter!
Do you have one to send? Or anyone else on-list?

:-)
I do the open-with and it starts to work/tries to, then hangs.
I'd just like to be able to watch the BBC/PBS stuff and listen to
Windose or Real streams without too much hassle!

First, you need to confirm that you can play Real in kmplayer. 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.
HTH,
