Asked By Alberto Dexter 20 points N/A Posted on - 10/22/2012

Hi,

While opening a url with rtsp protocol I received an error message. It is indicating that rtsp is not a registered protocol.

I took necessary measures to configure Firefox settings but no result. Have you any idea for the issue?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dexter

Solution is simple. We recommend adjusting the Firefox configuration settings by adding an entry for the RTSP protocol:

1. Open Firefox, and type about:config in the URL bar.

2. Right click in the main window and select New and then String.

3. Enter network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp for the preference name and click OK.

4. Enter /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay and click OK.

Thanks a lot.
