hi. i'm aware that this isn't quite the optimal channel to ask this question but i can't find any better. i have an issue with my realplayer under linux. it ran perfectly just until yesterday. there my home partition ran out of space. maybe this is related. after clearing up some space there the problem remains though. the problem itself is that when the player tries to cache the content it fails. visually the box, which used to move slowly from side to side in the bottom right corner of the players` window to indicate searching, is rapidly moving forward and back before it finally fails to cache the content. in fact it kind of accelerates first. sorry for not being able to provide more detail. i didn't succeed finding any pointer online.
