• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I downloaded and installed Real Player, but it still says I have a plugin missing. Any ideas?

Which browser are you using?

If it is Firefox/Camino browser, type, about:plugins in the address bar and hit enter. It will show you whether the Real Player plugins are integrated.

If it is Safari, goto Help > Installed plugins, which will show you all the installed plugins.

In both cases, if the RP plugins are not listed, you have to check whether RP browser integration is correctly set in RP preferences.
Goto,
RealPlayer > Preferences.. > Internet Tab > Web Browser settings
Here the both items should be checked.

Hope this helped a bit.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox. I typed about:plugins and RealPlayer is not listed. According to the Browser settings of RealPlayer, both items are checked. What could be wrong?

Click to expand...

May be when you installed RP it didn't create a symbolic link in your user library. To create a symbolic link follow the steps listed below.

1)Check for RP internet plugins
Right click on RealPlayer.app and select "Show Package Contents"
Goto Contents > MacOS
You should see a file called "RealPlayer Plugin.plugin"
If it is not there, you should re-install RP.

If the file is there, Copy and paste the following line in Terminal and replace XXX with your user name and press enter.

ln -s /Applications/RealPlayer.app/Contents/MacOS/RealPlayer\ Plugin.plugin /Users/XXX/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/

It should now create a symbolic link to "RealPlayer\ Plugin.plugin"

Restart your browser

That should do the trick.
