Hey folks, i have a good news for music lovers. I have just got a workaround to play songs from Raaga.com in Linux.
I tried with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 & Firefox 3.0 b 5. I followed this article http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/04/27/setting-up-raaga-com-to-work-on-ubuntu-8-04-hardy-heron . Credit goes to that article.
I guess, /usr/lib/totem/gstreamer/libtotem-complex-plugin.so plugin caused a problem for raaga player. After removing this plugin, it was working.
This plugin, (remove this plug-in)
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible (compatible; Totem)
File name: libtotem-complex-plugin.so
The Totem 2.22.1 plugin handles video and audio streams.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin RealAudio document rpm Yes
Here is how,
Download the latest Realplayer from here http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helix/builds/?category=realplay-current And save it to desktop,
Select Platform: linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586 > RealPlayer (bin)
(Or you can also download from here – http://www.real.com/linux)
[ I suggest you to uninstall realplayer from your Linux if it is already installed, sudo apt-get purge realplayer ]
Install the RealPlayer,
- cd Desktop/
- chmod +x realplay-10.1.0.4350-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin
Here, change the realplay-10.1.0.4350-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin with the filename that you have downloaded.
- sudo ./realplay-10.1.0.4350-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin
Set Plugins,
- cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
- sudo ln -s /opt/real/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt nphelix.xpt
- sudo ln -s /opt/real/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so nphelix.so
- sudo rm /usr/lib/totem/gstreamer/libtotem-complex-plugin.so
Restart Firefox,
Now enjoy the music.
