in link TUR.

TUR are unofficial repositories containing packages not included in current/extra.
http://tur.archlinux.org/
To get realplayer, add
[link]
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/tur/link
to /etc/pacman.conf
Then
pacman -Sy realplayer

Many thanks for that, I actually downloaded and installed them.
The next question is how to get it working as a plugin on mozilla-firefox. (Or do I need to be using a different browser?

Well, I have made some progress, but can get no sound out.
I am using alsa, and kmix outputs sound fine.
Realplayer starts but with volume at zero, when I turn the sound up I get nothing.
Where is it trying to send sound to?
Any other thoughts?
Kind regards

i downloaded realplayer from the real website and it worked as a plugin in firefox without doing anything,
i think realplayer uses oss so you must have alsa-oss installed, i just load one module for my soundcard and that works, it could be that your /dev/sound permissions are wrong,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

Ah, right.
I thought it might be an architecture problem.
OK, so I have alsa-oss installed, but I can find what I need to do with it afterwards other than putting
export OSS_REDIRECTOR=libalsatoss.so
in my .bashrc (Is that right).
It still does not work. I feel so close, and yet so far...
Kind regards

Many thanks, got it in the end.
Ok, for some reason mozilla does not put all that is required in the pluginreg.dat. So you need to add/edit it to look like:
Many thanks, that was part of the solution. Basically now my pluginreg.dat for real player reads:
/opt/mozilla-plugins/nphelix.so:$
:$
1106069750000:1:1:$
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible version 0.4.0.404 built with gcc 3.2.0 on Dec 14 2004:$
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible:$
1
0:audio/x-pn-realaudio: Realaudio-plugin resource locator: ra,rm,ram:$
1:audio/x-realaudio: RealAudio file: ra,rm,ram:$
Then you also need alsa-oss and then modprobe the following:
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss
Which I have done in rc.local.
I hope that helps others too.
Kind regards
