Description

When trying to open a file not supported by Helix Player (3GPP multimedia), a window pops up with the following message: “The player does not have the capabilities to play back this content”. There is also a “Check for Updates…” button that, when pressed, opens a browser to download Real Player for GNU/Linux, which is nonfree software (as far as I know).

This will hopefully only require a one or two line sed script, i’m looking into it now. kg

Its actually quite a bit more complicated then i thought. The most surefire way of getting rid of the problem is to remove the package. i do have a gen-script for this, but it only half does the job, and it (may) be quite fragile. kgoetz
