Totem with RMVB analysis

jefferic

Newly upgraded GNOME 2.20.1, using Totem 2.20.1, works fine but RealMedia.
Surely it's because the lack of codecs, but when rp9codecs got, where to put to make totem get them used?
Someone says that's "~/.gnome2/totem-addons", but not.

PS: I just don't want to install mplayer only for RealMedia support, totem itself is quite great in my opinion. Maybe finally i have to do.

As SUMMARY:
It's hard to enjoy RealMedia only via Totem.
   -- Totem-GStreamer : sometimes there's real-audio, and no video, as there's missing of RealVideo
                   Decoder Version 4, also v3, so do v2, however the GStreamer-plugins-bad presents or not.
   -- Totem-Xine: somewhat worse, no audio but video, in contrast to totem-gst. Is there any need for me to
                   install totem-gst to have a view on video then change to totem-xine to do with audio?
It doesn't seems to be wrong with totem( just like, not sure, maybe it's by bug of totem itself), and surprisingly
  Mplayer directly deals with win32 codecs and things go quite well. Fantastic.
Drag Mplayer into your toolkit bag, and out do Totem for now.

>> If there's mistake, please paste your idea below. Again, thanks a lot.
>> Finally, we still have to use MPlayer.

totem-xine。安装以前需要把totem卸载。

实际上还是mplayer的解码库。xine、totem-xine、kaffeine和mplayer用的东西是一样的。

如果真的不想用mplayer，用ports安装realplayer也可以。不影响totem

另：

刚刚忘了一条：最新的xine因为版权的问题是不能播放rmvb的，即使有解码库也不行。不过rm的可以播。所以基于xine的软件不能保证能放rmvb.
