[Bug 225667] [NEW] Totem plugin for mozilla interferes with Real Player

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: totem-mozilla

By default the Ubuntu Hardy installer appears to install Firefox with
the Totem plug in for media handling. The problem is that this does not
appear to work with the BBC audio and video feeds and Real Player is
needed instead, if you want to listen to BBC Radio, News 24, etc.

However, you must remove the Totem mozilla plugin before installing Real
Player (from http://www.real.com/linux), otherwise, it will not install
correctly and you still can't listen to the BBC.

As a minimum this needs to be mentioned in the release notes. However,
it would be better if there was an apt-get install package that
downloaded and installed real player similarly to the way that Adobe
Flash is downloaded and installed. This package could then correctly
identify the conflict with Totem and uninstall it.
