It works fine for me- watching it now. Tried on an Ultra 5 (launched
from Netscape) and on a Blade (launched from Mozilla). Could something
be misconfigured on your machine or in your dotfiles?

I can confirm that RealPlayer 8 is available at least for Linux- my laptop
running straight RedHat 7.2 is running RealPlayer 8.0.3.421. I think we
should upgrade, but suspect that that isn't the cause of the problem.
