 Posted: Fri May 27, 2005 5:11 am Post subject: How do I configure Realplayer to deliver sound w/ soundmixin |
 |
|
Allright, I've read the Wiki on how to use soundmixing, but most programs require some configuration, I got Firefox, Gaim, Mplayer, and XMMS all working but now I'm trying to configure Realplayer. I've downloaded and installed it in /usr/local, the default shellscript looks like this:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
# If you don't have readlink, fill in the path to hxplay.bin here.
# HELIX_LIBS="/usr/local/HelixPlayer" ; export HELIX_LIBS
# To install this script, create a symlink to it from somewhere in your
# path. Do *not* move the script out of the HelixPlayer directory, since
# it relies on the true location of hxplay to derive the location of the
# HelixPlayer directory
# REALPLAYSYMLINK and REALPLAYSCRIPT are only used to derive REALPLAYDIR
if [ ! -d "$HELIX_LIBS" ]; then
REALPLAYSCRIPT=""
if [ -h "$0" ]; then
REALPLAYSYMLINK=`which $0`
# Search for something we can use as readlink
READLINK=`which readlink` 2> /dev/null;
PERL=`which perl` 2> /dev/null;
PYTHON=`which python` 2> /dev/null;
if [ -x "$READLINK" ] ; then
# echo "Using readlink"
REALPLAYSCRIPT=`$READLINK $REALPLAYSYMLINK`
elif [ -x "$PERL" ] ; then
# echo "Using perl"
REALPLAYSCRIPT=`$PERL -e 'print readlink($ARGV[0])' -- $REALPLAYSYMLINK`
elif [ -x "$PYTHON" ] ; then
# echo "Using python"
REALPLAYSCRIPT=`echo 'import os; print os.readlink("/usr/local/bin/hxplay")' | $PYTHON -`
else
# echo "Using ls (directory name cannot contain spaces)"
REALPLAYSCRIPT=`ls -l $REALPLAYSYMLINK | sed -e 's/.* //'`
fi
else
REALPLAYSCRIPT=`which $0`
fi
if [ ! -x "$REALPLAYSCRIPT" ] ; then
echo "Cannot find the HelixPlayer directory."
echo "Please set the path in the hxplay script."
exit
fi
# if REALPLAYDIR detection doesn't work, hardcode the directory here
REALPLAYDIR=`dirname $REALPLAYSCRIPT`
# setup environment
# find our common, plugin and codec dlls
HELIX_LIBS=$REALPLAYDIR
export HELIX_LIBS
fi
# See if LD_PRELOAD contains any of the sound server libs. If so, remove them.
LD_PRELOAD=`echo $LD_PRELOAD | sed -e 's/\([^:]*libesd[^:]*\|[^:]*libarts[^:]*\):\?//g'`
export LD_PRELOAD
if [ -n "$LD_PRELOAD" ]; then
echo "Warning: LD_PRELOAD=\"$LD_PRELOAD\""
fi
# execute binary (and pass args), optionally running via catchsegv
REALPLAYBIN=$HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin
if [ -n "$DEBUG" -a -x "$CATCHSEGV" ]; then
$CATCHSEGV $REALPLAYBIN ${1+"$@"}
else
while /bin/true; do
# Restart the player if exit code is 10
$REALPLAYBIN "$@"
if [ $? -ne 10 ]; then
break
fi
done
fi

Now I know I want to add this line:
| Code: | | aoss /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay "$@" |
But I'm just not sure where or how to get it to work right (and get it to work properly in Firefox) If anyone can post there realplay file and/or tell me if there are any additional steps I need to take, it would be a huge help.

One option is, you can replace the /usr/bin/realplay file (which is a symlink to /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay) with | Code: | #!/bin/bash
aoss /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay "$@" |

2. possibility would be to edit the realplay script:
after this:
| Code: | if [ -n "$LD_PRELOAD" ]; then
echo "Warning: LD_PRELOAD=\"$LD_PRELOAD\""
fi |
add that:
| Code: | LD_PRELOAD="$LDPRELOAD:/usr/lib/libaoss.so"
export LD_PRELOAD |
i'm trying to get that working too atm, but on my box realplayer or aoss crashes, not quite sure which of them...
