Hello,
A user contacted OLC because they were unable to view streaming video
content embedded in a browser window on Athena. It turned out that the
site in question (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/)
requires RealPlayer 10. While this version is installed on Athena, the
RealPlayer plugin (necessary for viewing embedded content) is still
version 7:
athena% ls -l /mit/infoagents/mozilla/plugins/rp*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 7919 mit 52 Aug 30 2002
/mit/infoagents/mozilla/plugins/rpnp.so ->
/mit/infoagents/arch/i386_linux3/realplayer7/rpnp.so
Can the plugin be upgraded to version 10?
Thanks,
Erica
