Re: G2 Player expires?

[Michael Starnes <mstarnes99 yahoo com>]

There's another version but it's not an rpm. Go to:

http://www.real.com/products/player/linux.html

For platform select Linux 2.0/2.2. You will get a file: g2b1_linux_glibc.bin

http://linuxtoday.com/talkback/40668.html was helpful for installation. He said
to su to root in an xterm to prepare for installation. He didn't tell you to go
back to a normal user before running the install program. It gives a display
error if you're still root.

This version works but it's strange. I've seen it use more than 90% cpu on a
p-166 system when buffering. Control buttons on the interface can be slow to
respond and it segfaults at times.
