Okay, what version of RealPlayer are you using? With QuickTime, I see no
error message, with RealVideo I see "Xine-Error: No Input Plugin". In both
cases, Kaffeine o.4 is what's being used. I installed MPlayer and tried to
get Konqueror & Mozilla to try to use it; but no go - It keep defaulting to
Kaffeine.
