Question

#1 Post by klhrevolutionist »

When I install RealPlayer, and I go to listen to something that gxine should play. Realplayer opens up instead. But realplayer does'nt support
everything that i got gxine to do.
I know firefox has a media chooser, but I am a mozilla user.
Is there a way to work around this?
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

you can probably setup your Realplayer plugins ... i don't know exactly what you need to do, but you might want to look in /etc/mime.types ... you might want to look at the Navigator, Helper Applications in Mozilla preferences ... Realplayer may have installed it's plugin files in /root/.mozilla/plugins, if you remove the Realplayer plugin files, you should disable Realplayer plugins (though it might put them back in), or else they may be in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.8b1.5/plugins
