The embedded RealVideo, on the right side at the linked URL, does not display in PACIFICA Trunk, but does in Fx 1.5.0.1.  All you hear is the audio, but cannot see the video.  I tested this in Safe Mode (using the installer builds).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest RealPlayer 10.5
2. Install both Fx 1.5.0.1 and the PACIFICA Trunk build.
3. Using Safe Mode, launch PACIFICA and go to the linked URL.
4. Click the play button on the "CBS NEWS VIDEO" on the right.  Notice that you get audio but no video.
5. Close the browser and launch Fx 1.5.0.1 in Safe Mode.
6. Click the play button on the "CBS NEWS VIDEO" on the right.  Everything should be working fine.

Example no longer works, since CBS seems to have switched to Windows Media.
This is against a very old trunk - work on the trunk is now focused on 3.x and I haven't seen any similar problems with RealPlayer in either trunk, 1.5x, or 2.x releases.

It's hard to tell if this was something with your profile or a bug in an old build. Please comment or reopen if you still get this with a recent build.
