Well for one thing, turn off X11 forwarding on PuTTY. You're not running X on you windows box, are you? Note that using DISPLAY=localhost:0 will cause xlib to contact the local server through TCP, which is suboptimal and might be disabled. DISPLAY=:0 will use unix domain sockets, which is more efficient. You should be able to do something like 'DISPLAY=:0 realplayer' and it will do what you want. Also there's a command line realplayer front end out there somewhere, that uses the realplayer libs. Stuff like Xine and Mplayer seem to be able to use the realplayer libs as well. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
