It's recommended to download and install RealPlayer8 or RealONE, because MPlayer can use their libraries to decode files with RealVideo 2.0 or - RealVideo 3.0 video! All you have to do is:
+ RealVideo 3.0 video! -
- ln -s /usr/local/RealPlayer8/Codecs $PREFIX/lib/real
-
The MPlayer configure script should detect the RealPlayer libraries
+ in all standard locations. If it does not, tell configure where to look with
+ the --with-reallibdir
switch.
NOTE: RealPlayer's installation path may differ from the above, please check - it.
+It is also possible to just take the RealPlayer libraries from somewhere and
+ put them in a suitable directory like /usr/lib/real
or
+ $LIBDIR/real
.
NOTE: RealPlayer libraries currently can only be used with Linux or FreeBSD - on the x86 platform!
+NOTE: RealPlayer libraries currently only work with Linux, FreeBSD, + NetBSD and Cygwin on the x86 platform!
