The RealPlayer plugin allows you to view content that embeds the RealPlayer in the HTML page. This is achieved using the EMBED HTML tag. Netscape searches for all plugins by looking in its plugin directory:
$HOME/.netscape/plugins or where Netscape is installed on your system, for instance: /usr/local/netscape/plugins
Follow these steps to install the RealPlayer plugin.
ln -s $HOME/rvplayer5.0/librvplayer.so librvplayer.so
To verify that the link command was successful, list the contents of the plugins directory by entering the following command.
ls -lThe link should be listed as follows, if found.
foobar:~/.netscape/plugins> ls -l total 3 -rw-r--r-- 1 foobar users 333 Jan 21 17:01 RAObserver.class -rw-r--r-- 1 foobar users 1411 Jan 21 17:01 RAPlayer.class lrwxrwxrwx 1 foobar users 38 Jan 22 14:17 librvplayer.so -> /home/foobar/rvplayer5.0/librvplayer.so
To verify that the RealPlayer plugin is installed correctly, you must exit all open Netscape windows on your desktop and restart Netscape. Click on the Help menu and select the About Plugins menu item. All installed plugins are listed on this page.
