Status: VERIFIED INVALID

I've never been able to get real player to work with mozilla.  I already had
real player installed on my system, mozilla didn't detect it and prompted me to
download the plug-in.  That was fine with me.  The file it downloaded through
the netscape site was for the real player installer.  Okay, I'll reinstall if
that's what has to be done -- no big deal.  After reinstall, it still tells me
to get the plug-in and no real video or audio will play.  I'd rather Mozilla
just ask me to tell it where real player is if it can't find it -- it's on my D
drive instead of my C drive, if that has anything to do with it.  Other plug-ins
work fine, by the way -- flash, etc.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to click on a link to a real video (ram) file
2.
3.

Actual Results:  "click here to get the plug-in"

Expected Results:  *movie playing*

That's pretty much it.  Thanks for all your hard work on such a great product --
I hope the windows version is one day as tight as I hear the linux version is,
so I don't have to keep using that security leaking spam machine, IE5.  Thanks,
Team Mozilla!!

Somewhat recently "XPCOM component" plugins were de-supported. In your
"Components" directory you'll find a nppl3???.dll -- copy that to your plugins
directory and it should work.

Real will eventually update their installer to put things in the right place.
