I have recently found RealPlayer9-9.0.7.151-4.i386.rpm
This seems to be a lot better. Don't recall where I got it, though.
Thanx for your help, all who wrote.
I found the .rpm file in a Polish site:
http://hubi.oj.pl/linux/programy/RealPlayer/
I don't trust that as I have no idea what is in the .rpm file or how it was compiled,
but there is an alpha version of RealOne at
http://realforum.real.com/cgi-bin/unixplayer/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=announcements&Number=2908&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5
This is a binary installation file which must be made executable (chmod u+x) before running.
One thing that I did not like about it was the EULA provisions of tracking downloads and the DRM provisions.
AUTOMATIC COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES.
a) The Software consists of interactive Internet applications which perform a variety of communications over the Internet
as part of their normal operation. A number of communications features are automatic and are enabled by default (for example,
channel headline updates in RealPlayer, and GetMusic updates in RealJukebox). Such automatic communications features do
not send any personally identifiable information about you without your consent. Most automatic communications features can
be changed by you in User Preferences. By installing and/or using the Software, you consent to the Software's communications
features. The Software also allows the use of Cookies, similar to an Internet browser. This allows any website to set cookies for
you when you view any of the website's content through the Software, unless you have disabled cookies. To learn more, visit
the RealNetworks Consumer Software Privacy Statement link on our website at http://www.real.com. You are responsible for
any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incurred through your use of the Software.
b) The Software automatically communicates with RN's servers on the Internet to check for updates to the Software, such
as bug fixes, patches, enhanced functions, and new versions. RN will notify you when updates are available. If you decide to
update, you agree that RN may upload updates and install them as part of your Software. All such updates to the Software are
governed by this Agreement, unless other license terms are provided with the update. Although RN uses encryption technology
to provide security for the autoupdate process, RN is not responsible for the failure of such security measures. The autoupdate
function is not available for RealDownload.
c) RealDownload automatically and anonymously communicates with RN when you install or uninstall it, and when you
use it to download files from the Internet. During these automatic communications, RN does not send or receive any personally
identifiable information about you without your consent. These anonymous communications allow RN to count the number of
its RealDownload users, to provide advertising services, and otherwise to provide a useful product and service and to plan for
future enhancements and services. When you download files using RealDownload, it sends the name and URL of the file you are
downloading along with relevant product and Internet communication information to RN. This information is sent so RN can
display appropriate advertising, and for aggregate, anonymous statistical analysis. RN does not associate file downloads with
individuals without express consent. Because RN works through the use of a browser window, RN may set a cookie if you have
chosen to enable cookies in your browser. In the event the Software contains a trial or free version of RealDownload, the
advertisements may only be removed through purchase of the RealDownload Plus, which is available at http://www.real.com.
6. DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ("DRMs"). The Software may include third party DRMs as
Plug-in components which are subject to their own license agreements. DRMs are designed to manage and enforce intellectual
property rights in digital content purchased over the Internet. You may not take any action to circumvent or defeat the security or
content usage rules provided or enforced by either the DRM or the Software. DRMs may be able to revoke your ability to use
applicable content. RN is not responsible for the operation of the DRM in any way, including revocation of your content. RN is
not responsible for any communications to or from any third party DRM provider, or for the collection or use of information by
third party DRMs. You consent to the communications enabled and/or performed by the DRM, including automatic updating of
the DRM without further notice, despite the provisions of section 5(b). You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RN for any
claim relating to your use of a third party DRM.
