Safari and RealPlayer Problems at bbc.co.uk

Hi folks,

I would like to be able to watch video streamed from by the BBC from their website.

I have installed RealPlayer and check that it is the default for opening .rm extentions, I have also check in the Safari Menu Help->Installed Plugins that RealPlayer will play .rm files.

I even have the real (awful) player plugins in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

When I go to the bbc video stream at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ and click the 'Watch/Listen to BBC news' link in the news section, everything loads up as expected; RealPlayer loads in Safari but gives an error saying 'No Clip' (see screenshot: www.boyfarrell.com/realpoor.png )

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Cheers.
 
Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so maybe it's just a simple fix.
Just check to make sure you haven't denied access to ports that Safari needs to connect to.
It should be pointed out that not all BBC video seems to work properly anyway. Current Slobodan Milosovic video just shows the BBC flash. No report!
 
How do I go about opening up the ports?

I had a look in the sharing system pane, but there wasn't anything obvious in the firewall setting that would restrict/allow realplayer or safari to work.

Sarari has access to ports 443 (http) and 80 (https), I added RealPlayer to the list just now, it didn't seem to have an effect. I'm going to re-start the computer..... back in 2 mins.

Hmmmm. No change!
