[SCRIPT] Install realplayer from local directory

Hi,

another script to install something, while knoppix is running!

One problem is, that it'll only work, if browser/realplayer is started from shell (konsole)...

But for the moment you can live with it, can't you?

Also you need to reopen, current shell or just do a:

Code:

. ~/.bashrc

And I'll try to fix it :-))

PS: Enjoy!

Really great script. Would it be possible to include the (optional) Web download? So, it could be downloaded and installed by demand (and perhaps even be stored in persistent home). Would be great.

It is not possible to store this file anywhere, because of the restrictive real-license, sorry.

But once installed on a persistant home realplayer keeps to be available ...

Re: no .. :-/

I mean in case there is no realplayer rpm it should automatically do a

wget http://207.188.7.150/1528f27c56b3014...6_i386_cs2_rpm

like the flash-installscript asks whether to download on the fly.

Could you please add

Code:

# no nasty registration screen - by probono cat >> ~/.RealNetworks_RealPlayer_60 <<EOF ERegistered=1 EOF

at the end of your script? That would prevent the annoying registration window from popping up when you start RealPlayer.

Solved:

just add

Code:

# menu entry and MIME file association - by probono cat >> ~/.kde/share/applnk/Multimedia/Viewers/realplayer.desktop <<EOF [Desktop Entry] Comment= Exec=\$HOME/bin/realplayer Icon=realplayer InitialPreference=1 MimeType=audio/x-pn-realaudio;Application Name=RealPlayer ServiceTypes= Terminal=false Type=Application EOF

at the end of your script.

This does the following:
* creates a KDE menu entry for realplayer
* sets MIME file associations

Re: [SCRIPT] Install realplayer from local directory

Has anyone got the realplayer *plugin* to work within Konqueror? On Knoppix or any other distribution? I would like to watch the movie in http://www.tagesschau.de/sendungen/0...SPM830,FF.html in konqueror, but had no luck so far. It only says "Unable to load Netscape plugin for...". Is it just me?
