I can’t thank you enough. Those 2 symbolic links worked perfectly just by themselves. Now I can listen to Lamacq!

Your last comment would indicate that RealPlayer didn’t install properly for whatever reason so that may be at the heart of your problem. Try the installation again and see what happens. Uninstalling Totem is another option that might help. Good luck!

thanks for putting up this post. but i still can’t seem to use the bbc iplayer. i installed real player 11 and created the symbolic links like you said. When i start the iplayer, and click on the play button it doesnt stream,and stays at “playing 0kbps”.

i tried clicking on the stand-alone option, totem movie player opens and says stream is in wrong format.
