Any preference of a media player?

Helix, mplayer, other?  So I can see thoe video clips
on foxnews that need "audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin"

Any advice / direction appreciated.

I installed RealPlayer-0.4.0.186-20040615.i586.rpm a few days ago to watch a video from a band that I wanted to see video. AlterBridge (Creed minus SS) and it plays the video fine. Helix was available on the same site that realplayer was on. It needed a plugin or something for audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin.

If you install this rpm onto your system, (RealPlayer) it will be located under /usr/local/RealPlayer<version>. You just need to choose the application type when the prompt comes up in the browser. I assume Fox News would work with the player also.

I forgot where I got the rpm from and am on a different system than the one that I retrieved the rpms from. You might need to do a google search for the location of the player.
