Realplayer in firefox is quite slow.

[newburghmark at aol.com]

I'm guessing that they are the same.  I think, I'm not sure, but I 
think that the Firefox plug in is really so that Firefox knows where to 
look for Real Player.  The plug in won't run anything, but it will look 
like it opened Real Player even if you uninstall real player, because 
it has the gui interface of Real Player for Firefox in the plug in.

I'm a little less than sure about what I am saying, but I think that 
this relates to their being no registry in Linux.  Because Firefox has 
no central place to look for a plug in, it has to know where to look on 
it's own.  ( I am guessing a little here.)

Hopefully, someone who is more of an expert about this than I am will 
comment.  I only followed up because you seem to be actively 
configuring Real Player at the moment, and the experts might be off line

Why run an old edition of Windows when you can run the latest edition 
of Linux for free?  For a free download, go to WWW.Kubuntu.com

Now this is quite possibly a silly question but i've never messed with 
real
player on linux before. If i change the buffer size within realplayer 
itself,
will that also change the buffer size for the Firefox-plugin as well???
