Real Player 11 Security?

I do not have a Flash Media Server. But I may get one
depending on the answer to this question.
Real Player 11 Beta released this week and one feature it to
"grab" videos off websites in order to save them to your personal
computer harddrive and burn them to CD/DVD. That is fine for
content that is for public consumption, but what about content that
is behind subscriptions or copyrighted?
I Downloaded Real Player 11 yesterday to test if it worked
with my site which has .flvs which progressively download on it.
Unfortunatley, it worked like a charm. Easy to download and the
video looks good.
Real said if you have Microsoft DRM then it won't let the
video download. Great, except what about Mac users where microsoft
DRM doesn't mean anything?
So, question is, does Flash media server provide security
against Real Player 11's grab the video feature?

Yes... it can. See the following article:

I can't get the websites like youtube, facebook, etc to load. everything comes up as just text/words. i've downloaded adobe flash and real player on windows xp.

i have windows xp. i just got the computer and internet on it. i downloaded adobe flash and real player. but i still can't get sites like facebook and youtube to work. i always get popups that ask if its a trusted site and to add the exception, which i do. yahoo and msn work, i can see photos and pictures and images just fine, but facebook and youtube are still all just words and error messages. any suggestions besides what i've already tried? i'm not tech savvy so step by step is how i learn best!

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

Firefox will not load because problem with real player plug in

Problem is with vista machine - No problem with machine on Windows 7.
1 Firefox tries to load Real player add on but just hangs.
2 I load Firefox again - perhaps need to do it more than once and, eventually it does load normally when I get the message:
Real player add on incompatile.
I have to choose Do not Search when it the loads and behaves as normal.
Had this with other add ons and was able to delete them but will notlet me delete real player.

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please try to remove all program rules for firefox in your firewall and let it detect the program again: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

Real Player not working

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to access the videos at http://www.learnerstv.com, however I keep getting the following message from the embedded Real Player:
"A component needed to play this content is not available.
Real Player may be able to download the missing component."
At which point the prompt asks me if I would like to try opening the file in Real Player (not embedded in the web page, rather the actual program on my computer), if I select "Try in Real Player" then Real Player opens and says:
"Some needed components were not available."
And of course there are no components showing in the window, none available.
I've viewed the "Technical Help" section of the site and I do have the latest version of Real Player, I have Flash player and Shockwave installed as well. Interesting enough though, it does work for some videos, such as:
http://www.learnerstv.com/video/video.php?video=36&cat=Physics (first video in series)
but not for:
http://www.learnerstv.com/video/video.php?video=37&cat=Physics (second video in series)
All the videos work however when I run them on Windows through VMware Fusion. I don't have any firewall/security protection running either.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?

Real Player, much like Windows Media, has pretty much abandoned the Mac platform. They still make a version (WM has a QT plugin that doesn't always work either). A lot of playback ability depends on the codec use and/or the kind of DRM baked into the video. Some of it requires Windows, which is why it works the PCs version but not the Mac.
If you can get it to work via Fusion, but not native on the Mac it would seem to be one of these compatibility issues. Your choice is basically to either use Fusion/Parallels or a regular PC or not use the video at all.
As for Firewall, don't worry the built-in firewall in XP is OK. There is also some good basic free anti-virus s/w. Check out AVG or Avast. Both offer free versions.

Status bar missing in Firefox 6.0, also Real player does not function with updated version, had to switch back to 3.6

I've installed Firefox 6.0 about 3 times and each time I noticed that the status bar at the bottom of the page was missing. I relied upon the Norton Security "lock icon" which in version 3.6 would appear in the lower right hand corner of the status bar before signing in to websites or making transactions and found it very helpful. It was present in version 3.6 but not in 6.0. When I went back to 3.6 I suddenly had problems with the page freezing up so returned to 6.0 which corrected the problem but was not comfortable without the icon. I contacted Norton and via remote access the tech determined that the problem exists with Firefox's 6.0 version so he reinstalled 3.6 for me. Also I have a paid subscription to Real player Plus and it does not function with 6.0. I'm concerned because it seems you will soon phase out 3.6 and I will be without these functions which are important to me.

I have a solution! Follow this link and download the older version. When I installed it, everything came back as it was before! Yay! Good luck to you all. And bad move, Mozilla, in not making it clearer what the system requirements were for the update!!!!

N78 Real Player not functioning

Real Player was working fine until I tried to edit a video that I had taken on the phone. After this Real Player would not play back anything, either recorded on the phone or downloaded. These videos will play elsewhere.
I have reinstalled the latest firmware but no success.
Any ideas?

Reinstall again the latest firmware and after reinstalling try a soft reset.
Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's security code. Soft reset deletes ALL your phone's data.

- Super (as korngear said)
- Quicktime Pro

Real player download video is not working in firefox v29.0.1 what should i do?

I have firefox v29 and real player download is not working. What should i do. It is enabled and realplayer options are correctly set

thanks for the help.
went to real player and they suggested installing Realplayer v16, which i have done and the downloader now works.
Good, helpful reply. Thanks

I have Real Player Plus and with it you are ment to be able to download videos with it from any site bit the download video icon does not appear despite having everything enabled what's going on?

I have got Real Player Plus and one of the features of it is being able to download any video.
Now to do that you mouse on thevideo and a download icon appears on the top right of the video.
Recently it has stopped working. I have all my Real Player plug-ins enabled and the feature enabled on Real Player Plus to recognise FX 3.6.17 but it doesn't work. Whats going on? I am having to use Internet Explorer to use that feature of Real Player.

Noticed some of the comments about the new Verizon tv guide. I concur with the crowd indicating displeasure with the guide. Lots of wasted space on the left side, top and bottom of the new guide. The original guide presented more channels and more times with each screen display. The original guide was quite useful for me, and functioned perfectly fine. I would like the opportunity to choose between the two guides. Change isn't always a good thing.

Go to your actual realplayer (program), click the top right button (Realplayer with an downwards arrow) and update your software. Make sure Firefox is closed while you do this.

I have updated to Firefox 6 on OS Vista; since then I can't play YouTube videos, operate Skype or Real Player. How do I fix the problem successfully?

YouTube videos seem to load for approximately a second before stopping... and then there is no progress at all. After upgrading to Firefox 6, I received a message saying that it is not compatible with Skype and Real Player (?) and that certain updates could therefore not be performed.
With all due respect, what good is it to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox if popular applications like YouTube and Skype can't operate anymore? I desperately need to solve the problem - if there is no solution other than 'downgrading' to a previous version of Firefox, which version would that be?
Thank you for your time and dedication in sourcing a solution in this regard.

ValleyMan

Uninstall version 6, Google for a download site for version 5.1. Problem solved.

Does anyone know a video converter to convert Internet video recordings. Its in an IVR file, I can get it to work on real player on a widows but cant get it to work on my mac.

Does anyone know a video converter for a video file for internet video recordings. IVR file. I can get it to work on real player on my windows but can not open it on my mac.

Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.

Real player downloader on mac os x 10.5.8

Why I can't use my Real Player Downloader for MacBook 10.5.8, anyone please help me, thanks

If you want to run Windows applications, you need to have Windows installed.
As for Windows Media Player, try Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft).

Can't download real player file from link

I'm new to the mac world and I am trying to download a real player file (.rm) from a link that is on one of my course websites (I've tried Safari and Firefox). When I "right click" and select "Download File" it just downloads the actual html link, not the file. I'm able to download the file on my PC with no problems. Am I just missing something with the mac?

Are you running RealPlayer 11? That includes a downloader that tells you when a file is actually available for download.

I am trying to install Real Player onto my MacBook Pro

Reason is toaccess RTE Lyric FM radio station. I have not had success. if anyone has had similar problems and can offer installation assistance i would appreciate it. thank you.

The site makes it appear you can only use Windows Media Player or Real Player, but that's not entirely true as the stream isn't copy protected and they provide a download url to connect too with other players.
http://www.rte.ie/radio/how_listen.html
Download the free VLC media player here (donate if you can)
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Now look on this page
See under the VLC player it says "play in stand alone player?"
If you click that it will download a small file like you see at the top of the picture (it will be in the Downlaods folder)
Now simply right click on that (after VLC is installed ) and open that file with VLC and the stream will play.
Else open it from in VLC via the Network connection.
Some other great free software for codecs you'll come across is
Perian and Flip For Mac, install these two (along with VLC) and your 99% of audio/video needs will be taken care off.
As long as the stream isn't copy protected you don't need Real Player or Windows Media Player, just a gimmick by that radio site. But deep down they want as many listeners as possible.
