Putting out a #DigiPres request:

@PurpleJillybeans This looks like a punishing way to get there, but the source code link works!

https://web.archive.org/web/20060813001725/http://www.tools.de/solaris/realplayer/

And then I found an archived page where the RealPlayer 8 for Unix download links actually work too!

@PurpleJillybeans https://archive.org/search?query=Realplayer+IRIX

And some IRIX

"realserver" seems to show up there too

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

Thanks for the leads so far! Archive.org was the first place I searched, but for some reason a lot of these didn't turn up then. Looks like 7 and 8 are pretty well-covered, but I'm still looking for 5.x!

@PurpleJillybeans I *swore* there was a YTer who covered some oddball Real player stuff... I'd share a direct link if I could remember.. I guess I could throw out some channel guesses if you like watching vids on retro tech.

What was your goal / plan with this project? just curious.

@PurpleJillybeans if you find it lmk, i have a sun workstation from 1996

[jiub@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net]

@PurpleJillybeans@kind.social i dunno why, but realplayer running on CDE looks really cursed

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@jiub @PurpleJillybeans on motif*
and possibly cde but not necessarily

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

@wyatt @jiub It is indeed CDE.

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@PurpleJillybeans @jiub yes but dtwm looks no different than mwm or fvwm and solaris can use any of those

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

@colinstu I have a download section on my RealMedia Streams page on my CGHMN site and I wanted to include these versions for the sake of completeness. I already have Windows 16- and 32-bit, Mac PPC, and Linux x86 on there.

[flexion@oldbytes.space]

@scalonnec @PurpleJillybeans I can offer RealPlayer 8 for IRIX 6.5.x

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

@flexion Looks like I've got 8 covered. Mainly looking for 5.x now.

[cursedsilicon@social.restless.systems]

@PurpleJillybeans @flexion Y'all better be IA'ing all that stuff, too

(and CGHMN-ing it)

@PurpleJillybeans RealPlayer 5 for IRIX: https://fsck.technology/software/Silicon%20Graphics/Software/RealNetworks/

[purplejillybeans@kind.social]

@flexion W00t! 🥳

That tarball had the Solaris 2.5 version too!
