When I tried to watch the bbc news by ‘launching in standalone player’ I got the message: ‘xine plugin: no demuxer plugin to handle stream’.
How shall I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

The bbc mostly uses Flash now. The weather is still Real player. Is that the player you are trying to use? I suspect it is.
In which case, check the settings in real player and that you have xine from Packman.
This assumes you otherwise have all mutli-media packages installed
I installed via yast from the depositories:
main(oss), main(non-oss), main(debug), packman.iu-bremen.de and packman.unixheads.com
the following programs
libxine-devel(1.1.15); libxine1(1.1.15); libxine1-aa,arts,debuginfo,directfb,dvb,dxr3,esd,gnome-vfs,jack,
pulse,sdl,syncfb,w32dll,xvmc(1.1.15);
xine-browser-plugin(1.0.2),-devel(1.1.8),-extra(1.1.8),
-skins(1.0.3),-ui(0.99.5cvs);
RealPlayer(10.0.9.809).
Shall I need some other packages?
Thanks.

One click multimedia for kde= http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp
for Gnome= http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-gnome.ymp
that’s the easiest
there is also mediaplayerconnectivity addon for firefox which is handy
I do not normally look at BBC, but don’t they push their own codec?
… anyway, I have libschroedinger0-1.0.5-0.pm.1 installed for the BBC dirac codec. PackMan :: Informationen zum Paket libschroedinger
Thanks caf4926 and oldcpu.
After following your suggestions bbc is no longer posting the demuxer notice;
Thanks caf4926 and oldcpu.
After I followed your suggestions BBC is no longer posting demuxer problem.
But it is now posting a new error message:
‘xine-plugin: error opening video driver’.
What shall be my next step?
P.Rudra.
post a link of what you are trying to watch please
Strange.
Firefox plays it in Flash by default for me
Seamonkey gives me your problem - though I use SM all the time for bbc flash
Can you get flash working in FFox?
OK.
Try this.
Uninstall mplayer-plugin
Make sure you have Real Player installed
Now try launch in stand alone
I get save to or open with (open with Real option is in mine)
you can also save and play later
Since I installed opensuse-10.3 from live cd, I installed flash-player via yast, the repositories were main(oss, non-oss, debug), and packman. I checked again via install-software, and yes it is among the installed softwares. National Geographic - Inspiring People to Care About the Planet video-playing needs flash-player.
I just now checked and yes I can play the nationageographic videos.
I always use firefox.
Incidentally, I have IE6 from http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
with RealPlayer-10.5 plugin and I can watch the bbc-1minute-world-news, though not via standalone player.

I think I shall add that when I had Novell-SLED-10 OS I had no difficulty in launching standalone player.
But I don’t have mplayer-plugin, though MPlayer(1.Orc2) is installed.
I have got a sort of solution.
I have installed RealPlayer11GOLD.bin in /usr/lib/firefox/
I can now watch BBC news in RealPlayer though not in xine.
This also allows me to watch live

Is there a .bin file for flash-player and where can I get it from?
