Problems with trplayer.

[Janina Sajka]

There's an environment variable that might enable you to use trplayer with the Real Player 8.0 rpm available on the Speakup web site. I'm sorry I can't immediately get at what that is. I'll post later--or perhaps Bill Acker or someone else can chime in with it.

Folks, let's not miss the essential fact. The problem here is proprietary code. The Real products, including third party support software such at Matt Campbell's trplayer, are proprietary. You want it to work with today's Real products? You're obliged to go to Real with a request and they'll oblige you to sign something before giving you their SDK.
