OK, I figured out the deal with Helix Player, formerly known as Real
Player. It hasn't been updated since 2010 and official builds have
stopped. However, you can still download both the Helix and Real Player
for Linux. If I understand correctly, it's a graphical player, just
like RealPlayer was in the past. The good news, though, is that there
is no longer a need for TRPlayer as I thought. You can download the
Helix DNA Client which is command line only and plays apparently all of
the same formats as Real. It also exists for Windows and I must
emphasize that it's very basic and minimal, but it works. The download
areas are a bit confusing, so plan on some trial and error. Also note
that the Linux builds are for kernel 2.2 and Red Hat 8, just to show you
how dead the Real format is nowadays. Here is the official site:

>From there, go to downloads and the nightly builds for the Helix DNA
Client. Good luck and let me know if you get anywhere.
