TC & Realplayer

New iMac, new Time Capsule both right out of the box. Everything works like it is supposed to. I downloaded the free relaplayer (v11) and I get no streaming audio or video. If I save the link, I can open it with realplayer but every time I try to stream it, I get a socket error. Realplayer help says it is due to a "poorly set-up network." Anyone know how to better set up what is a very simple network?

Hello Anton Romano. Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
You may need to configure RealPlayer to use the "HTTP Only" option to connect to the Internet. This option allows a copy of RealPlayer operating behind strict firewalls to access RealPlayer traffic.
o In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences. The Preferences box opens.
o In the Category pane under Connection, click Network Transports.
o Select the Manually configure connection settings check box.
o Click the RTSP Settings button.
o Clear the top three boxes, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.
o Click the PNA Settings button.
o Clear the top three boxes, then make sure the Attempt to use HTTP for all content check box is selected.
o Click OK twice to save your changes, then try to connect again.

Using RealPlayer (dialup) - How can I give N/W preference to it's buffer?

4-25-06
Is there a "safe" way to configure the machine so that "1st preference"
is given to keeping the RealPlayer buffer full (listening to radio stream)?
I use 56Kb dialup and don't mind slowing down e.g. Safari etc but don't
want the radio stream to be interrupted.
Have UDP ports 7070-7071 opened in Sys Pref's and tell RealPlayer to
use them. I also buffer 500 seconds in RealPlayer. Still, it's buffer gets
empty (stream is at 20+ Kbps and modem is at about 45+ Kbps).
Maybe there is a better forum to post this at discussions?

Video choppy in Apple TV2, iTunes, RealPlayer and QT - but perfect in VLC

I have some videos that are really choppy when I play then on iTunes on my iMac (OS X with the latest updates). I have rebooted and nothing else is running except iTunes and it is still choppy.
Tried RealPlayer and Quicktime (standalone) and its choppy with both of them.
Playing on my Apple TV is also choppy. Apple TV is on wired network.
All of my video files are on USB SATA drive connected to my iMac.
Note that I can bring up VLC on my iMac, navigate to the video file (mp4) and it plays flawlessly, off of the same USB SATA drive.
Video file is 720x398, H.246 AAC, color profile SD (6-1-6), total bit rate 1,628, frame rate 29.97.
Could be how it is encoded?

Yes, encoding could likely be the culprit. May have more luck posing in the quicktime section

Compatibility with Windows-based GUIs: e.g. Norton Desktop, RealPlayer, etc.

Firefox 6 clashing with Norton Desktop, Java SE. .NET, and maybe RealPlayer.
Possible workarounds:
ReInstalling these after Firefox 6 updates.
Setting iE as the default.
What other incompatibilities with popular GUIs does the Mozilla techie staff know, what do they suspect via analysis?

RealPlayer says I Need to Open a Port For Chat to Work, Am I doing it Right

I have live feeds for CBS's Big Brother. I'm trying to get on their Chat and I get a Java IOException error, cannot connect to server, etc.
RealPlayer is insisting I have to open port 21 and/or 6667 in my router (AEBS).
I entered 21, 6667 in all 4 port fields. Under Private IP address, I put my computer's number. Under "service". I didn't touch that.
Am I doing this right? Cuz it's still not working for me. I know other Leopard users are able to get into this chat and I think it has something to do with my AEBS. I even loaded the developer version of the latest Java to no avail.
Suggestions?

Your firewall is off. That's good for now. Make sure that you Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol in Internet/Internet Connections/NAT tab. Also, do you have a static IP on your machine? Or are you getting your IP via DHCP. This info is in the OS System preferences/Network/Advanced? tab. Then click on the TCP/IP settings.To get the ports forwarded correctly you'll need to set a static IP (manual) on your machine. But you'd think in all their wisdom that Real would have NAT enabled chat. Meaning, you should get out with DHCP and NAT enabled. No forwards needed.
Setting a static IP on your machine is relatively easy but affects other things on your network and you have to do a bit of planning to set it up.
In a nutshell:
Set up an IP address on your machine outside the scope of IP's being distributed by your router.
Map a port that resolves to that specific port.
I think you did it right above but didn't possibly have a static ip to resolve to.
Hopefully I am not confusing you with all this.

ITunes Store files don't work with Realplayer or Windows Media Player

I tried posting a question but it did not allow me so I am going to try posting it here. I need some help but not sure where to go to post the questions or what e-mail address I can use to e-mail the appropiate place to get help so if you can help me out that would be great.
Problem 1. I won a ITunes gift card recently and set up a account and downloaded some music. Now the I just learned the file type cannot be played through Realplayer or Windows Media Player that are on my desktop nor can the tracks be put on to my MP3 player. I have deauthorized my computer and still no luck. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I can do so I can do what I mentioned above? If so what?
Problem 2 - If there is no way to covert the music who do I get contact and how to go about getting a refund for the tracks purchased.
Problem 3 - Sorta linked with #2 Once I get my refund applied to my account is there away for me to cancel my account and or transfer it to a person that does have a IPOD or is able to play Itumes files on their desktop?
Thanxs in advance.

I switched on my PC and there was an update for realplayer. Since then firefox will not load. It is running according to Task Manager. I've downloaded a another copy of the programme using IE but whilst it loaded as a programme, does not open a window.

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

Can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page?

I want to play meny video files in one jsp web page, these video files are to be played with the embeded plug-in of realplayer, each plug-in was linked(use its SRC property) a different video file. But, to my surprise, when I press the play button, every player played the same video file,not its specified file.
I have no idea why it did so and what can I do?
Whether can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page, that is to say, each instance is independent of others?
thanks in advance!

Generally speaking, Internet Explorer tries not to launch multiple versions of a plug-in. So what's happening is that you load the first video clip, and then before it has a chance to play, you load the second video clip into the same window. (It's like changing songs in WMA.)
In some cases - this may not work for Real Player, but it's worth trying - if you spawn a new window through a hypertext link and then launch the plug-in in that window, IE will treat it separately. Otherwise, you could not, for example, run two Macromedia Flash applications from different web sites at the same time.
Keep in mind that only one program can access the soundcard at a time, so Real Player may purposely "pause" or "cancel" other video streams until the active one finishes. If you were using the desktop version, selecting another video by any means aborts the currently running video (i.e., RP won't let you create a separate instance of it).
The easiest solution is to create a wrapper JSP file that takes the name of the video clip, and plays it. Call that JSP and specify that it should be opened in a new window via the TARGET keyword in the anchor tag. Then hopefully RP itself won't block a second window from running.

Is there a way to load music to my ipod from purchases from Realplayer, etc

Hi.
Let me start off by saying I am a computer idiot. It took me 20 minutes to figure out how/where to post my question.
I apologize if I ended up posting in the wrong place and I apologize in advance for my babble.
Here is my question(s).
I have a Ipod60.
I have managed to upload songs that I had accummulated over the years that are in my music library.
Unfortuantely, I seem to be having a problem with 3 things.
1) is a audio clip my cousin sent me. The clip is in .wav.
I can add it to my liabray. I can play it on the computer when in Itunes. I can see it on my ipod. HOWEVER, when I try to play the song on my ipod, the title appears on the screen but it immediately jumps to the next song. How do I get it to play on the ipod?
2) I purchase a song from the Realplayer store because I couldnt find the song on Itunes. They said that it was compatible with my Ipod. Unfortunatley, Itunes will not let me add or import the song.
What am I doing wrong?
3)I have one song that is a mp3 extension that will not let me upload it to the ipod. Again, I can add it to my library, but it will not save onto the ipod.
I tried to look at the various "help" sections. They say something about programing the darn thing to manual additions/updates but that doesnt seem to work.
Am I doing something wrong?
If anyone has any suggestions or knows of instructions that are in simple /"for dummies" terminology, I would greatly appreciate it.
I also have a question about why I can't upload varios videos that I have...but that is another battle.
Thanks in advance and once again, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place or babbled.
Windows XP

Once again, thank you both for taking the time to answer.
Camoracer - thank you for the suggestions on the transfer programs. I will look into them, once my 1 semi working brain cells stops hurting from this little technical puzzle.
I quickly check Videora out and it seems to be able to convert other formats TO IPOD. It doesnt seem to go the other way. Are there others that allow for that or is it impossible to copy IPOD "stuff" into other formats?
Is there a "silver bullet" of a program that works on most types video & audio (.mp3, m4p, mp4, avi, .flv, .mov. etc) ?
ED2345 - thank you for trying to make me feel better by saying that "it is a common mistake". It doesnt make me feel as stupid as I feared...but I did warn you that I am a moron when it comes to this stuff. I just thought that by changing the extension from (for example) .mp3 to .avi or .wmv was enough....heck most of the time it seems to work.
Anyway, I tried to do what you suggested. But before I click and change anything on my settings I want to make sure I THINK I am doing what you said.
I go into Itunes and get into Importing and I see the following
ON CD INSERT: ask to import CD
IMPORT USING: AAC ENCODER
SETTING: HIGH QUALITY (128 kbps)
(then in a little box under it is says:DETAILS
64 kbps (mono)128 kbps(stereo)optimized for MMX/SSE2
then under that box it has a few bullit points (* = lines that are "checked off" & activated:
* Play songs while inporting or converting
* automatically retrieve CD track names from internet
* create file names with track numbers
and
use error correction when reading audio cd's
Now
all that said, where to I make sure the preference is set to mp3 at 160 kb/s.??
Do I change to MP3 in the IMPORT USER by clicking on the drop down and changing to MP3 ENCODER?
Do I change the 160kbs by clicking on settings => custom=> and then change the STERO BIT RATE??
Knowing me, I will click on the wrong thing and cause my computer to self destruct.
Once again, thank you both for your time.

How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

I use safari 3.0.4
When it accesses sites containing video, it plays it in Flash (eg YouTube)
How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
any solution?
Thank you
Elizabeth

RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
You can get it here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

New Realplayer 10.5 with Harmony Technology supports Zen produ

hi,
not sure if anyone knew about this but the New Realplayer 0.5 with Harmony Techology supports Zen products. It's a free download as well. It even works with my zen micro.
Just wanted to share this information. Maybe it might help those having trouble with WMP or Zen explorer/creative mediasource.....just another alternati've worth trying........
Also, I found it convenient that instead of dragging and dropping files into zen micro....you can just highlight/select the mp3s you want to transfer in the music library, right click, select copy to --> zen micro...and that's it...very easy all in one step...
<SPAN class=time_text>Products supported and their drivers can be found on this page:

It's nice that someone else is using the Real Player 0.5 with Harmony Technology and thinks it is as great as I do.
I have the Creative Zen Micro and my husband has the Nomad Muvo TX 256. After trying all the other players, including the, iTunes, Music Match, Windows Media Player 0 and the Creative Mediasource that was sent with our Creative Players, we both found ourselves using Real Player 0.5. It is so much easier to use and the Harmony Technology actually was the reason that I bought us the Creative players for Christmas.
As a computer age newbie, married to a computer geek, am surprised that we both ended up using the Real Player 0.5 on our seperate computers. (His uses Windows XP and I use Windows 2000) Hope everyone will give it a try.
Best wishes.

My RealPlayer is not downloading videos anymore on Firefox 28. My Realplayer plug in is no longer seen in my extensions section either. How can I fix this ?

My RealPlayer download feature (the button that appears on top of a video to allow a download) was working fine until a few days ago, when I installed the latest Flash player update (12 something). Now, my Real Player does not work, at all. In fact, when I looked for the Real Player plug in in my 'Extensions' folder, it was not there (though it is listed in my 'Plug In' section). How can I get my Real Player download to work again, as well as have it return to my 'Extensions' section ?
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you for your question, and apologies for the delay. I have found some more information that may help answer your question. Below is the current knowledge base article that has what we know about the RealPlayer extension and add on:

I can't use RealPlayer with Firefox version 5. I must have the previous version back to do my work. How can I get it?

I depend on RealPlayer for many things - work that I can only open files I need with it. There isn't a version that now works with the newest version of Firefox. How can I get the previous version of Firefox back so I can use my computer to do my business work? Unfortunately I can't wait for updates on RealPlayer to keep meeting updates to Firefox. I can't use version 5 of Firefox because it disabled RealPlayer - hence Firefox has made my doing work on my laptop impossible if I use Firefox, If there is no remedy to go back a version, I'll just go back to IE exclusively. Money is money. Thanks so much for your help!

I had this same problem when my school's email page refused to work in Firefox 5. I solved it by installing the User Agent RG extension, then changing my user agent to IE7 before accessing my school email. Once you install the extension, you'll have to show your menu bar when you want to use it, then you'll find the User Agent submenu under the Tools menu. Hope this works for you, too.

After installing latest update Realplayer recording no longer works, I think Mozila is using a library file with the same name

After installing the latest update to Firefox onto Vista operating system the record part of real player no longer works, I think Mozila and Real are using a library file with the same name and the Mozila update is overwriting a Realplayer library file.

I was giong to say, "Help me, Adobe Joe Kenobi", but it looks like you're growing a beard waiting for an answer, too.
The same thing happened to me today. I trusted the "update" message since it was from Adobe, and apprently did so at my own peril. Now I get the "failed to load Core dll" message with a secondary reference to a memory address.
Just an observation, but what good are these forums when there are no answers? I see this problem as "Caused by Adobe Update", and would expect them to troublshoot and offer up a remedy. Since you've been waiting over two months with no response, I suppose it's time to trek off wasting more of my precious time to fix their problem. If I find the solution, I'll post it back to you.
May the Force be with you.

Can't get rid of Realplayer download app

I downloaded the RealPlayer download app and then decided it was annoying and wanted to get rid of it. I dragged it to the trash but it keeps coming back. I searched around and found it in the RealNetworks folder in the library and deleted it from there but still it came back. I even tried using a digital shredder to get rid of it but still it came back. I'm thinking there's an important file somewhere that I should delete to get rid of it altogether but I can't figure out where to find it. I'm tempted to delete/uninstall everything that has to do with Realplayer altogether but that seems a bit drastic. Any ideas?

The downloader.app should reside in /Library/Application Support/RealNetworks/. If that's the one you deleted, then the only other possibility is that there's a login item in Accounts. AFAICT, there aren't any other components scattered about.
