I tried to get RealPlayer to play RM files on Gentoo with Firefox 3.0.
I finally did it by editing the /usr/bin/realplay script as described here:

Thanks to all you technical bloggers life is so much easier.

A Python script and a decent media player is all it takes to get around NBC’s website’s obfuscation and catch some live video goodness. Check out this Ubuntu Forums thread, from page 3 and on:

Unless you’re going to a very obscure video site that uses some weird proprietary format, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a native Linux alternative. I watch streaming video in Linux all the time and I’ve never run into problems. Sometimes it even plays better than it does in XP.

And full-screen flash works just fine for me. You might want to mess around with the “legacy fullscreen” setting in compizconfig if you’re having trouble with it.
