Dear Kevin: Using PCLINUXOS .93 Minime. When I click on the RealPlayer icon on the Russian web site Svoboda at: http://www.svobodanews.ru/ (Click on the RealPlayer link right below the orange line). it brings up mplayerplugin. I really prefer to use Realplayer. I have, of course, unchecked RealPlayer in the mplayerplug-in conf file. I know there is a way to do this in Firefox by configuring the file extension (ram, rm, rpm, etc.) in Edit, Preferences, Downloads, Download Actions. It lists Shockwave Flash as the default player for swf files. But I can't figure out how to do this for the RealPlayer extensions. I would appreciate your help in how to do this. By the way, when I click on the same link in Konqueror, it gives me the option of selecting RealPlayer. Why can't I do that in Firefox? How do I get the RealPlayer link in Firefox to bring up RealPlayer instead of mplayerplugin? Thank you. Benjamin |

If you did it thru the config file make sure you delete the pluginreg.dat file in ~/.mozilla and maybe in ~/.firefox or ~/.mozilla/firefox. You may have to do this anyway even if you did it via the config dialog. As for the realplayer stuff... I have no idea as I don't use it. You should ask someplace else about that.

I deleted the ~/mozilla/plugin reg.dat file and the ~/firefox/pluginreg.dat files and restarted Firefox. Now I can open the URL in RealPlayer. Thanks again. Benjamin |
