Cannot stream using Real Player

Hi all,
Basically, I can stream to the phone using third party apps like Spodtronic and Vimio live TV, but I cannot stream anything using Real Player. It connects then just sits there on 'loading' until I get a server time out. This happens with music sites, mobile YouTube, Orb, etc.
One thing to note, I'm on T-mobile UK's basic Web 'n' Walk package which states in Terms & Conditions that it does not allow streaming, however, it seems there are others on the same package that can stream and I have been assured by a tech at t-mobile that I am not getting blocked by them. Interestingly, their test N95 had the same problem!
From the responses I have had on other forums it seems there are lots of others out there with the same problem. Not much in the way of suggestions for solutions though.
Can anyone help?! Please!

That's easy...Shuffle doesn't play RealPlayer music.
Does that just go for the 2nd gen shuffle? Because my
1st gen one does? Thanks for the help
News to me... Page 13 of iPod Shuffle (1st Gen) Users Guide:
Audio File Formats Supported by iPod shuffle
• AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 Kbps)
• MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)
• MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
• WAV
• AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)
A song encoded using AAC or MP3 format has near CD-quality sound, but takes up much less space than a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. When you import music from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by default.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3 format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format. For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.
iPod shuffle does not support AIFF, Apple Lossless, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, WMA, or audible.com format 1.

Playing .ra files using Real Player SP

I used to play music files from redhotjazz.com site using Real Player. Since moving to Lion I now get the message A general error has occurred. I am running the latest version 12.0.0. of RealPlayer SP.

Hi Steve
You need to use the mp4: prefix. See http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-media-server/kb/flash-media-server-stream-name.html
I recall having similar issues. We changed to name the files .mp4 and have no difficulties. We still use the prefix.

Problem with playing audio data using Real Player

i've seen the intruction for playing video data (.rm) using real player and it works. Then i tried to play audio data (.wav, .dat, .mp3) with real player, but it didn't work.
These are some codes i've wrote:

then in the real player, i tried some urls :
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/1 --> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/2 ----> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/3 ----> it didn't work, it was said invalid path
http://david:88/ramgen/dbaudio/4 ----> it worked
did i put a wrong url?
does the http://..../ramgen/... path is just for ram file?
can anyone show me the way to play audio data using real player?
Thanx before.

Yes, realserver expects an exact mimetype.
to make matters worse, it expects audio/x-pn-realaudio (an audio mimetype) for video!?!?!
Seems the code inside maps multiple file extensions to some mime type. Only one is allowed.
I have used the unix strings commands in teh plugins directory to find the exact mime type realserver is expecting. The file format plugins have this information in them.

Extremely poor sound quality on all apps after using Real Player!

Hi there
On my Leopard iMac (Core2Duo) I am experiencing extremely poor 'lo-fi-like' quality on all audio from all applications including iTunes, Quicktime and Safari as a result of using Real Player to play a file online.
I very rarely use Real Player and this was the first time I'd used it in months to even a year. The file was a simple RAM file from a store website allowing me to listen to a sample of a music file. When played, the quality was low but I expected this from a music sample, and from Real Player. However, after closing Real Player, I noticed the sound quality had dramatically dropped to an almost un-listenable quality.
I have restarted and uninstalled Real Player with no luck. The poor sound quality still comes through my internal speakers, as well as external speakers, so it seems like a software issue.
Not sure what to do, please can anyone help as the audio is used all day every day on this iMac!
Thank you

Just tried it as I did get iLife with my Mac. GarageBand froze for the first few times I loaded it up, then I managed to get it to work. Played with the on-screen keyboard which produced perfect sound.
Closed GarageBand, restarted iTunes, tested, working perfectly! Crystal clear sound back again!
Thanks so much for that, really appreciated!

How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
Good luck,
Clinton

Problem with streaming on Real Player - only on Mac OS X

Hi!
I am having a serious issue since the last sunday. I use to listen to some radios from my home country on my Mac, and everything was fine til the day I turned on my computer and got this message from Real Player: " Requested file not found. The link you followed may be outdated or inaccurate. rtsp://real.rbsonline.com.br/liverbs/*/broadcast/rdgaucha/gaucha.rm "
I tryed everything, and the link seems to work perfectly on any windows computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Real Player several times, tried to use other softwares like VLC to play, and nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions? Please help.

When I'm using disk utility and use "verify disk" I get the following message:
"First Aid failed
Disk utility stopped verifying "UltraMax" because the following error was encountered.

Firefox locks up and wants flash player installed, I use real player because new flash player is only trialware!

Two weeks ago the latest flash player was downloaded and installed. Now I find flash player was a trial ware program that requires payment so I put real player into my computer because it's free. Currently I'm unable to use Firefox without flash player wanting to load? Internet Explorer works fine, do I need to remove Firefox and replace it with Internet Explorer or chrome as my default browser?

Sorry, I have no idea what you may have installed that wants payment now. Adobe doesn't charge end users for the Flash Player ''(or Shockwave for Director)'', they get paid by the developers who publish Flash SWF files via the development programs the individual developers purchase, AFAIK. Maybe you installed something that wasn't intended for end users.
Real Player doesn't play the SWF format files by default. A format that is for Adobe Flash presentations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash#Format <br />
Unless someone has come up with an optional Plugin for Real Player that isn't widely distributed. <br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Player#Formats_supported_by_optional_plug-ins
Your '''''More system details''''' listed next to your initial posting here doesn't show a Flash Plugin for Firefox, so I have no idea what you installed that wants payment.
Please see this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games
Internet Explorer uses the ActiveX version of Flash, and Chrome comes with its' own version of Flash because Google has no problem with working a deal to include proprietary software in Chrome. <br />
Mozilla on the other hand is very rigid at making sure that Firefox is completely open source, and without proprietary software as part of the standard installation.

I have recently installed firefox 4. it is wonderful. small problem is i cant get to use real player to download flash player files (like u tube for example) although the plug inn in the real player setting supports firefox. thanks

i have firefox 4 on my computer 9fujitsu simens laptop) system of computer is windows xp pro sp3. i watch lots of videos on u tube and similar applications. usually there is a feature on real player that allows me to download these videos to my computer, and this feature works perfectly for internet explorer, and google chrome. nevertheless it doesnt work on firefox. i checked that the option on the real player menu supports firefox for downloading but i just cant activate it

You had to have some kudos for the effort put in to your thread as week as the point you make.

Cannot use Real player with latest Firefox, so I had to install older version. Do you have a fix?

I have Windows 7 with a 64bit system.

There is nothing you can do about it. The iPhone 3G was discontinued almost 3 years ago now, and tops out at iOS 4.2.1. You can not update it to anything higher and most developers have dropped support for iOS 4.2.1. Many have dropped support for anything prior to iOS 5.
Hopefully, you didn't spend too much for it. If you want to run most current apps, you'll need to buy a newer phone.

HOW CAN I GET BACK OLDER VERSION THAN 6.0.2 SO I CAN STILL USE REAL PLAYER DOWNLOADER

did not know upgrade 6.0.2 would kill plugin realplayer can i go back to older version of firefox dont wont to leave your program

You kinda have that backwards, Roboform needs to support Firefox. If you upgrade to Roboform version 7, you'll have Roboform working in Firefox 4.0.1.

Real Player problems

Hi -sorry if this is in the wrong place but I have sort of audio problem. I'm a big listener to the BBC radio service on my Macs which works through streaming using Real player via Safari. Since this morning I have had no sound from it at all on my iMac yet it works fine on my Macbook. i have tried unistalling 7 reinstalling real player but still no joy. After messing about restarting etc & reinstalling I have tried playing a regular mp3 file via Real player but get the following warning - " Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it" yet i have no other apps open etc and it says this after a full restart. Both my Macs are intel core duo.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I had this same problem occur - here's the fix I found:
Open "Audio MIDI Setup" in /Applications/Utilities/
Under "Properties For:" select "Built-in Output"
In the "Audio Output" section, set the Format to 44100.0 Hz
Close Audio MIDI Setup and try using RealPlayer again, the audio should now work.
I'm running 10.4.10 on an Intel machine and RealPlayer 10.1.
I hope this helps.

I downloaded and installed firefox 5, but uninstalled it because it is not conpatible with Real Player video downloader. I cannot download videos from You tube or other sites with Firefox 5. How can I resolve this problem? ooader

I use Real Player to play music and videos. I also download videos from You Tube and from other sites thru Real Player which is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1, but not with Firefox 5. Please tell me why?

Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.
