Have you tried emerging media-video/realone? Not sure if that includes a plugin though. Another option (which I have not yet gotten to work) is to use mplayer with mplayerplug-in and the real one codecs available here.

If you have realone or realplayer8 installed the plugin is
rpnp.so and should be in /opt/RealPlayer8/

if you emerged realone then the rpnp.so should already be in your firebird plugin dir
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins

The problem I had is that firebird has a compatability issue with realplayer if firebird was complied with gcc 3.x(which mine was). A solution I found on the firebird website was to get on the net and find an old version of libgcc.a from gcc 2.9.x (in my case 2.9.5 from slack) and link it with the realplayer lib. For example find libgcc.a from 2.9.5 and then run this command
ld -share -o rpnphack.so /opt/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so /path/to/libgcc.a
then put the new rpnphack.so in your firebird plugin directory. This should work but no guarentee on the stablity. After the link command you can delete the old libgcc.a that you downloaed.

Hope this helps

the mplayer plug-in should be able to play all video and audio types that mplayer can. so, if you install real-one, then mplayer, then the plug-in you should be good to go.

You guys can still emerge realone? It's masked even in ~. Something about a vulnerability. Should I unmask it and emerge, or wait for something to happen about the matter.

Thanks

hmm... they weren't masked when i emerged them. hadn't noticed that - both "realone" and "realplayer" are masked. i remember hearing something about a vulnerability, but i don't know the details. mplayer (and xine) just borrow the codecs, so who knows whether they're still affected?
