I guess it's a character flaw on my part but this is driving me nuts. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out why my system does not play an audio clip at the site below. The clip is from an NPR show, SoundMoney, and is of interest to my wife, a prof in the School of Business at Xavier University. Her machine, running that other OS, plays it; mine RH 8.0 from Planet CCRMA (vintage March 2003) plays Real streams with no problems; I use it every day. (note some long lines below may have "wrap"ed.) At the NPR SoundMoney site there is a link to http://www.reppe.com/ At that site (below the picture) we see: Rik's Latest on NPR's Sound Money 2/7/04 - Why Capitalism Rocks: Twix, Frisbees, and the Grateful Dead Listen the Listen link is to: http://www.soundmoney.org/play/audio2.php?media=/2004/02/07_soundmoney&start=00:00:53:24.0&end=00:00:57:54.5 When I click on it, my Konqueror browser asks what program to open it with. If I say Konqueror, the Konqueror displays the audio2.php file: <smil> <body> <seq> <audio src="rtsp://a754.v5559f.c5559.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/754/5559/v001/mpr.download.akamai.com/5559/money/2004/02/07_soundmoney.rm" clip-begin="00:00:53:24.0" clip-end="00:00:57:54.5"/> </seq> </body> </smil> Usually, Konqueror opens real streams with realplay with no problems. If I say open with realplay, realplay comes up and fails to play, complaining that "Some component is missing ..." After much searching on google and google groups, I think I've learned that the web site itself is failing to execute the .php file and not sending the stream. I also tried using Mozilla and wget with the same results. This is not an important problem for me, but it is bugging me to the point of distraction. Do any of you folks understand what's happening and why my wifes OS plays and mine won't?
