under "edit->preferences->navigator->applications" you can register
your own mime types.
copy the exact type from the error message and create a new entry
that points to RealPlayer.
there are some syntax subtleties i don't remember right now, but you
should be able to find out by looking at the other mime types that
realplay registered.

good luck.
