Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to any website that offers streaming media in real 2. If the link is on an rtsp:// server click the link. 3. Mozilla reports that rtsp:// is an unsupported protocol. Actual Results: The aforementioned error window popped up. Expected Results: It should have opened up the url in my realplayer app. The plugin is installed.

Does this work on other platforms? This is actually more linux-only bug 33282
Component: Browser-General → Networking
QA Contact: asa → benc
Summary: Browser does not open urls with rtsp:// protocol for real media streaming servers, mozilla reports and unsupported protocol → rtsp:// protocol for real media streaming servers, mozilla reports and unsupported protocol
REOPEN: Bug 33282 has three recent duplicates mentioning the same problem, so I'm creating this as a tracking bug.
-> NEW, defaults. I've tried Mac and this works, and I'm going to assume it works for windows, meaning this is indeed Linux-only, and a valid dependency of bug 33282.

*** Bug 227062 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Adding user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp", "/usr/local/bin/gmplayer"); to prefs.js gets me far enough that MPlayer loads up and complains that I didn't compile it with rtsp support. I think this only works in 1.6b, as that was when the dependent bug was fixed. If that's all you're looking for (external app support) I'd say "works for me". Excepting, of course, the caveat that passing username/password/port options may not be implemented or work. <a href="http://linux.sgms-centre.com/howto/mozilla.php">This article</a> gives a good overview of using external protocol handlers with Moz.

To confirm Ben Smith's suggestion, I added the pref, setting the value to /usr/X11R6/bin/realplay, and it works just fine. (I think mplayer would work too, although it doesn't actually stream video, so it's not as nice to use as Real's Linux port.) Since Real now has a fairly-official (although not supported) version of Realplayer, which installs by default to that directory, would it be rash to set this preference to this directory for Linux in future versions of Mozilla? At a minimum, some documentation on this would be very helpful!

yes, <a href="http://linux.sgms-centre.com/howto/mozilla.php"> works with " about:config (right-click on any item) --> new --> boolean --> network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp --> /usr/X11R6/bin/realplay " as reported. Sometimes the java apps don't work and the rtsp links can be found in "View page Source" my right-clikkin a bum pop-up. (Noramlly my Mozplugger works OK). Like this one : rtsp://a988.v101995.c10199.e.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/988/10199/3f97c7e6/ftvigrp.download.akamai.com/10199/horsgv/regions/siege/infos/f3/1214/1214_20040426.rm

Using Kubuntu I added to about:config network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp string /usr/bin/X11/realplay network.protocol-handler.external.rtsp user set boolean true It opens now Realplayer and I have sound, but no picture. Or has this more to do with Realplayer itself or the rtsp:link?

that must be realplayer-specific...

Although this is listed as a Linux bug, I believe it is not restricted to that platform. I am running the Firefox 1.6a1 build from 20060118 on Windows XP and get the message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program. I added the following two lines to prefs.js: user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp", "C:\\Program Files\\Real\\RealPlayer\\realplay.exe"); user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.rtsp", true); but that made no difference. I also tried using Quentessential Player as the app with the same result. My test site for this is the http://www.c-span.org/ video archives. All links to video clips fail. Either the OS for this bug should be changed or a new bug should be entered for Windows if they are not one bug.

(In reply to comment #16) > that must be realplayer-specific... > Yes, it is. To solve the problem (sound but no picture for rtps:) in Realplayer: # In RealPlayer, under Tools, click Preferences # In the Preferences window, click the Transport tab. # Click Use Specified Transport. # Click Configure RTSP... The Transport Settings window appears: # UnClick Attmept Multicast. # UnClick Attmept UDP. # UnClick Attmept TCP. # Click Attmept HTTP. # Click OK in the Transport Settings window. # Click OK button in the Preferences window to save your changes Thanks to Mitch for this solution!

Is there a way to make the rtsp or mms protocol forward to a plugin. I would really like to be able to have mplayerplug-in handle an rtsp or mms stream.

I was using RealPlayer7 because 10 is overbloated. I installed RealAlternative 1.49, which installed Media Player Classic and it asked if I wanted to add connections to firefox. Just what I wanted!!!!

The solution lays within Real Player preferences. Open Real Player/Tools/Preferences/Content/Media Types/Manually configure media types for RealPlayer/Select, scroll down to Real-Time Streaming Protocol and mark it. This worked in Real Player 10.5

How would this be affected by Bug 506834? If native RTSP support was added to Gecko for audio/video, would realplayer be able to override it?

This bug still remain and needs more attention. Related bug on GNU/linux for handle protocols: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312953
