I'm new to mplayer, and love it, on the whole. My one problem is that there's an .ra file that it tries to play, but can't for some reason. Rather than try to work with mplayer to fix it (unless that's easy to explain in a step-by-step way), I'd like to be able to just use realplayer to play those files, which worked fine and doesn't require any extra effort from me. But I can't find how to tell mplayer to leave .ra files alone. There's only one site in question: http://www.cartalk.com/Radio/Show/online.html and I'm trying to listen to the concatenated link of all ten segments of the show. The mimetype shows up in mplayer as audio/x-pn-realaudio Object. I use Firefox 1.5, run Fedora 3. Mplayer launches when I click on the link, but does nothing. The actions associated with files (under Edit-Prefs-Downloads-View and edit actions) won't let me point to a specific different plugin or program for that filetype. I can only choose "default plugin' or 'save to disk'. I tried editing pluginreg.dat manually, but I may have done it wrong because nothing happened. "about:plugins" tells me mplayer is enabled to open pretty much everything, which (I think) is okay except in that one instance. I've looked in the mozillazine forums, helixplayer / realplayer, the mplayer docs, and nowhere can I find anything about how to make different plugins work together. It's all about how to use the given plugin in isolation. Am I trying to do something impossible? I should say that I get lost pretty quickly unless I have the exact commands I need to enter, so, if you can help, remember that you're dealing with a n00b! Thanks!
