I'd especially love a solution that was solid enough that I didn't have to worry about software upgrades breaking it.Also, the realplayer 8 is distributed for most ppc linux architecture. It does not work as a plugin, but if you look at the web page source in firefox, you can fetch the media address and feed it to the player.
And since mplayer can use the realplayer 8 libraries I wouldn't be surprised if mplayer-plugin could indeed be used as realplayer plugin ;-)
I didn't try CNN, because then I need to "sign up here for a 14 day free trial", MSNBC told me that "MSN Video requires Microsoft Windows® 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP." (very likely it doesn't, but they're refusing to show their video content to anyone not using a MickeySoft solution. Did you expect anything different?), however BBC gave me a simple .ram that played just fine in the Linux realplayer. For some reason I think that sounds a bit smarter than those other two ;-)
Skip-free DVD playback should be possible, unless you're using framebuffer for X...
