trplayer is a RealMedia player for Linux which has a command-line interface instead of a graphical interface. This makes it fully accessible to blind users and others who can't use the graphical user interface or prefer the text interface. trplayer supports all media formats supported by RealPlayer 7 (RealAudio, RealVIdeo, MP3, etc.). In presentations which involve video and other visual media, trplayer plays the audio and discards the rest.
You can get the latest version of trplayer from the trplayer home page.
If you run the "trplayer -h" command, you'll get a help message with information about the command-line parameters and a list of commands you can use while running trplayer.
If your RealPlayer libraries are located somewhere other than /usr/lib/RealPlayer7, you should set the REALPLAYER_HOME environment variable to point to the root directory for these libraries.
