Same failureat CSPAN, btw. On sites other than those two, RealPlayer works fine. Well, not the Amazon realplayer samples - says their codecs are too old. I use xine for windoze media files - works fine. Oh well, as the oldIndian in "Little Big Man" said - "Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't".This is really weird. The fact that some sites work with realplayer makes it even weirder. I tried the C-SPAN site, click on use realplayer, and Iceweasel asks what I want to open it with, and realplayer 10 is there waiting for me to click on it, then it dl's the ram file, and the standalone version of realplayer opens, then the audio starts to flow.Some Real files play, depending evidently on the extension. Just tried the RealPlayer stuff athttp://www.cpcweb.com/Webcasting/webcast_samples.htmIf I click on any language other than English, ".rm" files are called, and they play w/o a hitch. The English files, though, are ".smi", and RealPlayer tells me that the file, <something>.rm, cannot be found. Of course not - it's a .smi file.
Same errors here.
At RealPlayer's site, http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/, none of the ".ram" files play.
I clicked on all of the 256K .ram links and they all worked perfectly.
In short, .rm files play; none of the other extensions do. btw, the listing in about:plugins shows only the ".rpm" extension. Is it supposed to show more?
