Where are the mimetypes and config for konqueror??

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.

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.

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

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?


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.


[[ save the electrons ]]


Well, long-story-shory, I set up everything to grab the
/usr/X11R6/bin/realplay binary, but *still*, if I click on
the "Real Audio" stream, Konqueror pops up a list at me
that includes "Multimedia" and several other broswer-things.
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. Appreciate it.

chow fer niao,

gary

PS: Someday maybe I'll know enough to be able to write up
a tutorial [with graphics]. If I tried that *now*
I'd almost certainly screw things up completely and
there would be even more dents in the concrete outside!
