I guess it's a character flaw on my part but this is driving
me nuts.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out
why my system does not play an audio clip at the site below.
The clip is from an NPR show, SoundMoney, and is of interest
to my wife, a prof in the School of Business at Xavier
University. Her machine, running that other OS, plays it; mine
RH 8.0 from Planet CCRMA (vintage March 2003) plays Real streams
with no problems; I use it every day.
(note some long lines below may have "wrap"ed.)
At the NPR SoundMoney site there is a link to
http://www.reppe.com/
At that site (below the picture) we see:
Rik's Latest on NPR's Sound Money

Listen
the Listen link is to:
http://www.soundmoney.org/play/audio2.php?media=/2004/02/07_soundmoney&…
When I click on it, my Konqueror browser asks what program to open it with.
If I say Konqueror, the Konqueror displays the audio2.php file:
<smil>
<body>
<seq>
<audio
src="rtsp://a754.v5559f.c5559.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/754/555…
clip-begin="00:00:53:24.0" clip-end="00:00:57:54.5"/>
</seq>
</body>
</smil>
Usually, Konqueror opens real streams with realplay with no problems.
If I say open with realplay, realplay comes up and fails to play,
complaining that "Some component is missing ..."
After much searching on google and google groups, I think I've learned
that the web site itself is failing to execute the .php file and not
sending the stream. I also tried using Mozilla and wget with the same
results.
This is not an important problem for me, but it is bugging me to the
point of distraction. Do any of you folks understand what's happening
and why my wifes OS plays and mine won't?

Mozilla and wget are HTTP clients, they don't unterstand RTSP, which is
Real's protocol.
The realplayer error message could mean that the stream is encoded with some newer codec
that isn't available in RP8.
The link worked for me with the Real One Linux beta. Google for it, I don't have an
URL ready and it is impossible to find by browsing Real's website.

:} Apparently neither does ie.
I should probably install real.

I think it probably means that you should install realplayer properly.

plays nicely with Realplayer 8.0.3.421 here.
Can't those php files be handled by Realplayer, too?
I never tried to do so.
BTW, I am a big fan of The Prairie Home Companion, also on Minnesota Public
Radio. To listen to the current show with only one click, I wrote a
shellscript (which is seriously _below_ average), see attachment.
Anyway, if there is no codec problem, the <seq><audio .......></seq>
part of
the php file should include the RA file to play. This is not an elegant
solution, but it works for me.

If it's some type of RealAudio stream, you might want to try the HelixPlayer
plugin instead of RealPlayer. Helix is the next version of Real (from what
I understand, anyway...) being worked on by the same people and all, except
it's all open-source. I use it on my Slackware 9.1 system and it works well.
