Hi Donya,

I'm not sure if this is a known issue. The plug-in in Firefox doesn't work for BBC News. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Install realplayer 10.0.9
2. Launch Firefox 2.0.0.5
3. Browse to http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6940000/newsid_6943600/6943652.stm?bw=nb&mp=rm&asb=1&news=1
   

Result is that plug-in loads and then hangs. The video is not played. Note: This issue doesn't happen in the standalone RealPlayer application.

Thanks,
Ken

RealPlayer 10.0.9.809 for Linux is now available. This release is primarily a security update that addresses recently discovered security vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities offered a chance for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via input media files resulting in a player crash. We've received no reports of machines compromised as a result of the now-remedied vulnerabilities.

The release also contains a fix that addresses crashes in the embedded player while playing songs from certain music websites.

You can download the Helix-powered RealPlayer 10.0.9.809 from:

http://www.real.com/linux

or from

https://helixcommunity.org/projects/player/files/download/2478 [BIN Installer]

https://helixcommunity.org/projects/player/files/download/2479 [RPM]

Helix Player is not affected by these vulnerabilities and remains at version 1.0.8.
