well, that 'terminal stuff' works pretty well and pretty fast IF you not
blindly copy & paste those instructions.
since i don't know how your system is set up, i just can give you
EXAMPLES. and this example presumed that you create a directory called
'backup' in your home folder. but a much more straight forward approach
is to just delete those two files.

cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
sudo rm libtotem-complex-plugin.xpt
sudo rm libtotem-complex-plugin.so

and your realplayer works.

if you want totem back again, just open your package manager and install
totems firefox-plugin again.

and on a sidenote: i am in NO WAY an expert, but i learned that the
commandline is your friend and can do things pretty quickly.

so give it a try and start watching bbc ;)
