This is a workaround for people experiencing erratic audio/video viewing broadband
streams online or saved locally on your computer.
Example- Lets say you are attempting to play a streaming video encoded @ 220kbps. Many times the audio/video
will studder and the player controls seem to become unresponsive or delayed in action.
However the same video being streamed for dialup users @ 32 or 56 kbps plays perfectly.
If you encounter this behavior try this......
Close the Real Player first.
Open this Klikit linux Synaptic Package Manager and install the program "alsa-oss", then close Synaptic.
Then either open Konqueror in super-user mode or log in as root and use a text program like "Kwrite" or "Kate" to
open /usr/lib/realplay-(version # here)/realplay. Scroll down to the end of the program where it shows
the following:
while /bin/true; do
# Restart the player if exit code is 10
$REALPLAYBIN "$@"
if [ $? -ne 10 ]; then
break
fi
done
fi
Change the following line to add the word "aoss" so it looks like this:
while /bin/true; do
# Restart the player if exit code is 10
aoss $REALPLAYBIN "$@"
if [ $? -ne 10 ]; then
break
fi
done
fi
Then simply select save (not save as) and you are done.
Now sit back and enjoy your highspeed stream! :)
