[xine-user] Problem in deciphering the FAQ-page :(

[Katrin K. <koh...@st...>]

Let my first cite the content of the FAQ-page that i found:

> Real Network files/streams
> Can I watch Real (.rm, .ram) files using xine?
>
> The situation with real files and streams is pretty similar to the situation 
> with Quicktime Streams (see above). The newer real audio and video formats 
> are only supported by using binary-only codecs which are not included 
> in xine. 

> Possibly the most convenient way to get the Real codecs is to download 
> them from the MPlayer website 
> http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html . The package is 
> called "essential". Unpack it and move everything you find inside  
> to /usr/lib/win32 and set the decoder.external.real_codecs_path  
> in your xine config file to /usr/lib/win32 (actually you can place 
> them anywhere you want, e.g. someplace in your home directory, 
> but then you'll have to set decoder.external.real_codecs_path 
> accordingly). Restart xine then and you should be able to watch 
> Real files/streams.         

Would anybody care to translate that into understandable language? What I did 
so far:

1) I copied the contents of the "essential"-package from the mplayer homepage 
into a newly made directory with the name: /usr/lib/win32 (i did not have a 
win32 directory so far....

2) in my personal xine config file ~/.xine/config uncommented the lines
codec.real_codecs_path: /usr/lib/win32
codec.win32_path:/usr/lib/win32

But I still cannot watch any streams from www.ARD.de. :( 

So if you could please rewrite the FAQ in a way, that also I do understand 
what to! So that also I can watch RealMediaStreams since apparently I did 
something completely wrong in interpreting the FAQ?!

Thx in advance, 

an helpless linuxuser who is close to changing back to windows just because 
she still cannot watch the news...

PS: I also "apt-get removed" my xine, than got the codecs and installed xine 
again without any effect at all....
