Is it possible to configure the mp3 plugin to play realplayer streams?

If not, is there a plugin for VDR for Realplayer?

Try the mplayer-plugin. greatings Halim

Thanks. Looks like the mplayer rpms don't support the Realmedia codecs??

mplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram

I think you have to use: mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram

Yip - that works!

Thanks!

Any suggestions on how to set up the URL as a source?

cat /media/video/vdr-1.4.0/plugins/mplayersources.conf /media/video/TV;Television Programs;0;*.avi/*.mpg/*.AVI/*.MPG /media/video/amule/Incoming/;The Mule;0;*.avi/*.mpg/*.mpeg/*.AVI/*.MPG/*.MPEG /media/video/archive/;Video Archive;1;*.avi/*.mpg/*.mpeg/*.AVI/*.MPG/*.MPEG /home/vdruser/Desktop/Photos;Movies on Desktop;0;*.avi/*.mpg/*.AVI/*.MPG /mnt/pics;Network Video;1;*.avi /media/video/Movies;Movies;0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram;BBC Radio 2;0

(last entry doesn't work)

Create some directory and put a file in there that has only the line "http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram" and the extension of your chosing (for example *.playlist).

Then you have to modify your mplayer.sh to add -playlist to mplayer command line when playing files with this extension.

I'm still learning many scripting tasks - can you suggest a way to test if a file has a '.playlist' suffix?

FILENAME=somefile.playlist

if [ "${FILENAME##*.}" = "playlist" ]; then
