The problem is that the player refuses to fetch any remote content. It's not a firewall problem, as I can generally fetch non streamed files manually, and playback of local files is fine. I suspect it may be a threading problem, as I had to disable audio threading, as suggested by the Unix issues page at real.com, in order to get the player to play *anything*. Plus the fact that I've been unable to run most other multithreaded Linux apps on this machine in the past (StarOffice, mtv among others). Anyway, the system is: Dell 1300 SMP dual 500MHz PIII running 3.4 Stable Audio : SoundBlaster 16 Would upgrading to 4.1 stable improve the Linux threads reliability (or introduce some :-)? I am probably going to do that anyway at some time over the next couple of weeks.
