Yep, same here; works fine, for the most part. It's (i.e. using the RPM) running on a PII233/64MB/AWE64/RH5.2/2.0.36 system. The only problems after 15 minutes of usage: 1. core dumped almost 7 megs (probably due to me trying to run other file types though:) 2. sound seems a bit out of sync with video. 3. It asked me to register twice. 4. Oh yeah, after installing it (i.e. a 4 meg RPM), I noticed 13 megs of/usr disk space suddenly vanished:(.On the plus side; video seems sharper and installation was simple. Just had to change the name of the executable, which is now realplay; as opposed to 5.0's rvplayer.
According to the README file that came with this Alpha release (come to think of it, the README and "About RealPlayer" say that this is a Beta...hmmm?), the plugin doesn't work; which is what this web page needs. Here's a snippet of the README file (under/usr/doc/):
RELEASE NOTES
What's Not Working?
The following items are either not working in the Beta Release G2 Player or they are working but have not been tested for performance levels. Some of these features may only work intermittently or anomalously.
1. RealFlash is currently not working on Linux and AIX. You will receive the error message "Some components are not available to provide playback of this presentation on your system," when trying to play RealFlash clips.
2. Status Bar (several of the indicators are not working).
3. View, Presets, Sites menus.
4. Most recent clips in File menu.
5. Statistics dialog (Bandwidth, Streams, and Advanced panes not working).
I've used my trusty Swiss Army Explorer for the past 10 years: From preparing meals to sawing 2x4s, it's always worked for me. I recently passed it on, and moved up to the Swiss Champ--woohoo!:) But, I've got my eye on that Swiss Tool now, hehe.
Slashdot Mirror
Hmmm?...Wondering how many people will actually submit a design that they created all by themselves (i.e. not use Larry Ewing's)?
