To any browser/media/audio wizards out there in freebsd-land:

A few weeks ago (after failing with both mozilla and firefox)
I tried the KDE broswer to stream video. And after several
tries, got kmplayer working with Konqueror. It streams windows
video and better yet, streams windows audio (using the Mplayer
backend). But there are some NPR/PBS webcasts only in
real-audio. After a few hours of poking around the web and
trying to reconfigure Konqueror I-give-up.

I've reached the "File Association" -> "Audio" and to
"x-pn-realplay" {or something like that}, then I'm wedged.
Is there an honest textfile I can use to associate [.ra, .rm,
.ram] with /usr/X11R6/bin/realplay????

thanks for any help!

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.


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

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.


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


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.

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?


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.


:-)

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!


HTH,

So far, so good, thankee!
