           RealPlayer 10 for Linux

              Gold Release Notes

                 August 2004

  System Requirements

     * 350MHz Intel Pentium II processor or
       equivalent
     * 64MB of RAM
     * 23MB available disk space
     * 28.8Kbps modem (audio only)
     * Sound card supported by OSS drivers
     * 65,000-color video display card set
       to display at 800x600 (video)

  What's New in Gold

   RealPlayer 10 for Linux contains many
   new features and improvements over
   previous releases of the player. Salient
   features include:
     * Support for the latest RealAudio and
       RealVideo codecs
     * Support for the Vorbis and Theora
       codecs
     * Hardware accelerated video
     * A modern GTK-based interface

  Known Issues

     * If you are having problems playing
       back media and are behind a proxy
       you can try using rtsp transport via
       http only (go to transports pane in
       prefs, select "use specified
       transport" and click "configure
       rtsp." Then uncheck "attempt
       multicast," "attempt udp," and
       "attempt tcp.")
     * Context Menu might not work while
       managing favorites with older GTK
       versions.
     * If RealPlayer 8 is installed on the
       system (via rpm) the RealPlayer 10
       rpm does not remove RP8 before
       installing RP10. This means that RP8
       and RP10 coexist on the same system.
       In the event that this configuration
       results in any problems with the
       embedded player (plugin) please
       delete the file rpnp.so from your
       mozilla plugins directory. (issue
       #2678)
     * Some content encoded in RealAudio 3
       fails to play. Multimedia content
       that uses RA3 as the audio codec
       will still play without audio. RA3
       has been deprecated.
     * Player does not play gnome-vfs URI's
       (smb://). Workaround is to mount the
       samba share using smbmount etc
       (issue #2269).
     * Alsa and esound drivers are not
       included in this build
     + The OSS device used for
       playback can be set using the
       AUDIO environment variable.
       eg export AUDIO=/dev/dsp2
     * See the Helix Player bug tracker for
       a list of the latest issues that
       affect the player.
