canconfirm if I had the status :-)

not sure this is identical, but ff is not launching realplayer for this .smil file:

http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php?getProgramStream=true

so either similar or I don't know how to connect .smil files to realplayer....

thanks

oops should have stated this was on os X

this file opens fine for safari or ie5.2

installing latest version of realplayer resolves this issue.

however ff should have some interface for editing associations imho

also see #232220

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
