WMP and Realplayer

hello all, is there WMP/realplayer version for intel imacs,

Here is a response to one of my earlier posts. After following these steps, all .WMV files worked on my Mac in Quicktime, but were very choppy. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running a MBP 17" 2.6 GHZ 1GB RAM
As for running WMV files on MBP via Rosetta, it is a process but it works in QuickTime.
-Firstly, you will have to open the finder, go to applications, CTRL-Click on Quicktime.app and choose "Get Info".
-Check the box for "Open with Rosetta"
-Go to Finder->Applications->Utilities and do the same thing with Installer.app (i.e. set it to open up in Rosetta).
-Once you download the Flip4MacWMV plugin from here: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm ; open the .DMG file and install it (Drag to your applications folder).
-Go to Finder->Applications->Utilities and make sure that you now UNCHECK the "Open with Rosetta" box in Installer.app
-With Quicktime still set to open with Rosetta, you should be good to go!
The reason that this works is because the Flip4Mac plugin was built for PPC processors. It is a Quicktime plugin that allows QT to play Windows Media files. So, we need to trick Installer.app into thinking it is running on a PPC machine (hence opening it with Rosetta while installing the Flip4Mac plugin, and then changing it back once installed). We also have to tell QuickTime to open in Rosetta, so the app thinks it is running on a PPC machine, thereby allowing Flip4Mac to do its job.

  • 10.4.8 and RealPlayer

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to 10.4.8 last night and everything seems to have pretty much worked apart from RealPlayer.
    I upgraded RealPlayer to 10.1 this morning but to no avail. The problem is, whenever I go to the BBC Radio 1 pages I get the message:
    Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in
    The page “BBC Radio Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    popping up. Using the stand-alone player works fine, in fact with 10.1 it works better because it just opens up RealPlayer rather than me having to do it manually.
    Despite the error popping up it still streams (when the BBC link actually works...) which is really weird.
    Anyway, I'd really like it to just work in the web page like it used to with 10.4.7 and RealPlayer 10.0. I don't suppose anybody has any solutions?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Hi Richard
    I just checked Radio 1 with both Safari and Opera, and it is playing aboslutely fine. I notice that I am still using Real Player 10.0.0. I wouldn't be surprised if some file associated with plug-in defaults has become corrupted. Possible solutions are emptying the cache and resetting Safari, both under the Safari menu.
    "Resetting Safari clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries." – So it is a little drastic.
    You can also check the Installed plug-ins, under the Help menu.
    If this does not help you might try dragging your Safari preference file to the Desktop, and then launching Safari to see whether the problem disappears. If not you can return the preference file whence it came.

  • WMP and VOB files via web site

    I have created a web page that will list cover images all of my backed up DVD's that I have on an external hard drive and each cover images is linked to the first VTS_01_1.VOB file for that DVD.
    I am testing the page to see how it works for each device I have.  The page works flawlessly with my Samsung tablet, the player I have installed on the tablet will automatically go from VTS_01_1.VOB to VTS_01_2.VOB and so on until movie is
    done.
    If I use my Windows 7 pc & IE 8, WMP will open and play the VTS_01_1.VOB and stop at the end of that file, how can I get WMP to continue to the next file automatically?
    I have also tried placed the file VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO in the link and then my tablet will not play it and WMP will not open and play it also.  When I use this link in IE I will get a dialogue box asking if I want to save or
    open, I select open and WMP will open and then give me a message "The selected file has an extension (.IFO) that is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the Player may still be able to play it. Because the........  Do you want the Player to
    try to play this Content? YES / NO. 
    I select YES and then I get a dialogue box "WMP cannot play the file.  The player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
    So why will WMP work if I double click the file on the pc directly in the folder and not via the web page?

    WMP access files present in a particular folder, the order in which the IFO file or linked VOB file is desinged. However, when it comes to webpage, WMP treats the location as remote and hence will not proceed to next file automatically, even if linked in
    the IFO file. This is a security feature to avoid any execution of code from unknown source.
    I can suggest adding the VOB file in a playlist, like ASX file, and that file will be opened by WMP and navigation between different VOB files is possible.

  • WMP and Sound blas

    I have the "sound blaster audgy 2 platinum" I was just wondering if there was any why I can use my sound blaster to control my "Windows Media Player" for instance I?m watching a movie in WMP and I want to fast forward and i want to use my controller to do so... is there any way thanks.

    Other than the name, not much. Both cards lack the EMU0K/2 chip, and have to do all processing in software (cpu processing instead of on the card). Oh yeah and the Audigy SE has newer drivers than the Value (and will probably install on the SB 24 bit).
    All things considering if you are looking at a card for gaming (or just about anything else) avoid both of them.

  • Security update 5.0 disabled Kaspersky and RealPlayer pugins, I want them back on, roll back the update

    Latest "security" update to Firefox 5.0 has disabled Kaspersky and RealPlayer plugins. I want these back on. They are needed, the so-called security fluffyware update is not.
    I need the update rolled-back!

    I managed a temporary work-around by re-installing Firefox 4.0
    Firefox 4.0.1 was no good because it automatically updated to Firefox 5.0
    Fortunately I had saved the installers to disc in April/May 2011, they are not available from Mozilla - and they should be!
    I had to turn off the automatic update and install feature, this is what caused the problem in the first place. This is a dangerous feature to let loose.
    All updates should be thoroughly tested that they do not disable important security and other add-on features, or should wait until suitable updated add-ons are available. Kaspersky and RealPlayer are important main-stream add-ons, not trivia. This is a classic violation of software control in design.
    The latest Firefox 5 "Security Update" urgently needs to be rolled-back across the board and fixed before re-applying.

  • Zire 71 and Realplayer

     Hi Palm'ers:
    I have some songs in *.wma and *.m4a format that I have bought from some sites (I-Tunes, etc.), but the Palm Zire 71 doesn't play them and doesn't show them on the songlist.  
    Why not?  Is the original Realplayer software too old for these new formats?  Is there a new version available for this Palm and if so where can I download it?  Or is the Zire 71 getting left behind in the wake of tek development??
    Post relates to: Zire 71

    Hello brmacken, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
    The Zire71 was discontinued a long time ago, and Realplayer will only support mp3 audio.  You could re-rip the songs to mp3 if desired.
    You can also check with Ptunes to see if their latest version can play on a Zire71.  The Pocket Tunes 5.2 can now play wma files.

    This is great news. I just posted a question about how to erase the automatic uploading on my hard drive from WMP.
    There were great people that came through and posted under my question. I thank all of you for these answers and ideas.

  • HELP I can't import from WMP and customer service people are retards

    I've used Itunes before to upload songs to my husbands ipod and I've always used windows media player. I just click, drag, and drop the files... but now it won't work. I've ripped a few cds and got some songs from limewire, which is what we've always done. Now I can't get them to import to itunes at all. I called the customer support line and the guy I spoke to was a real jerk. He told me it's because some cd's have copyrights and those must be the ones I'm trying to upload. I thought all cd's had that?!?!?! Not just that, but the Cd's I ripped I had done before and put it on my husbands ipod, it just won't work with mine. When I told him I didn't think the copyright thing was the issue he told me that he's been doing this for a while and he would know. UHHH. He told me there is no way to get these songs onto itunes. But I know that's crap because I've done it before, it just won't do it the same way. Then he told me that I could uninstall itunes, and reinstall it and it would pull all the files on my computer. So I did that, BUT when it pulled the files... it only pulled 30 out of the 98 I had previous had in itunes before uninstalling it. Now I can't get those to import to itunes either. I also asked him about an error message I recieved. When I open itunes it says that the software for burning cds didn't download because of other burning software. He told me that it was because of windows media player and that I should take it off of my computer and reinstall itunes again. I'm sorry... but I'm not taking WMP of my computer! Can anyone help??? I would like to have more songs on my ipod, but since what I normally do isn't working and the people at support are jerks, I'm stuck! HELP!

    Sorry I wasn't very clear in my original question.  My goal is to print from an executable on a computer which does not have Labview 8.5 installed (It does have the runtime engine installed).  The printer is connected locally to this machine and I'm trying to print three lines of text by creating a new report, printing it, then closing it, all using the report generation tools.
    I'm desiginating the printer by just using a text control wired to the printer name input of the print report vi.  I havn't wired the output of the queary printers to the print report vi, but I have copied and pasted this text manually to make sure the name was right.
    How do I build a debuggable exe to check for errors?  This sounds useful!
    I have found a work around for this problem, which was to create an installer for the executable and include every single additional installer.  I'm not sure which one it needed, but my executable worked after this was installed.
    Do you have any idea which additional installer was needed as creating a 1 gig install file and installing this on multiple machines takes a lot of time!
    Thanks for your help,
    Philip.

  • WMP and Mediasource will not recognise Zen Xtra with Playsfors

    ?I, like many people apparently, have been attempting to sync my Creative Labs 40GB Zen Xtra (firmware 2.0.03 - Playsforsure enabled) ) with my music files on my computer using either WMP0, or Mediasource with the Playsforsure Plugin installed. Even Explorer would be cool- but nothing recognises it.
    ?The problem I am having is that when I plug in the Zen, windows recognises the player as "MTP Media Player" and offers to start WMP for me, but when I get into WMP it doesnt see the Zen. The device shows in Device Manager under "Windows Portable Devices/NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra" but nothing else on the system recognises it- not Explorer, not WMP, now Mediasource with the Plugin. ?I have attempted to run "Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players" but unfortunately everytime I try it says it cannot detect the player and will not install- It?says[color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected."
    After?installing the correct driver itself it comes back and asks me to plug in the device and when I do and click next it says
    [color="#ff0000"]"Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. [color="#ff0000"]Please ensure your portable device is connected and switched on.[color="#ff0000"]?[color="#ff0000"]If your player is not enabled with Microsoft's PlaysForSure,[color="#ff0000"]please ensure that Zen Xtra PlaysForSure Firmware is properly installed before running this Setup program."? The correct firmware IS installed according to the "about" screen on the player itself.
    I have gone thru the steps to edit the permissions in the registry under "enum/usb" as suggested in another thread by Daniel-CL, and still this does not fix it. Then as suggested by [color="#ff6633">SSR, I?tried reinstalling MediaSource first, followed by the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Players.
    (Still wouldnt let me install it)?
    Oh, and I tried hooking it into my XBox 360, which Microsoft says will recognise a PlaysForSure enabled Zen Xtra. It wont recognise it either. So basically the player just sits in Device Manager and taunts me. It's there. It pops up when I plug it in. When I try to run a program that should recognise it, the little arrows on the player even light up for a moment to show communication with the program. But alas... nothing. I'm going crazy here.Did I miss something?

    I had a similar problem with my Zen Touch, but the only symptom was not being able to install MediaSource or the Software Suite. I got the same messages that you did. I was able to use Windows Explorer to add/edit/remove files, but I wanted the Zen Media Explorer so that I could create playlists. After about 2 days of research and trial and error, I ended up fixing it by uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.
    If you don't know how to do that, here are instructions...
    I'm using XP SP2, btw, so if you're using another version of Windows, it might be slightly different...
    ) With the Zen connected, Right-click on "My Computer"
    2) Select "Properties"
    3) Click on the "Hardware" tab and select "Device Manager"
    4) Right Click on "MTP Device" (or MTP Media Player) and select "Uninstall"
    5) Disconnect the player from the computer, wait about 5 secs, and reconnect.
    When you reconnect it, the drivers will be reinstalled. Try running the setup again after that.
    If that still doesn't work, look for random optional Windows updates, maybe?...esp. PlaysForSure, WMP, or USB/mobo/INF/Chipset driver updates...or maybe when it says "Setup could not detect and portable device on your system. Setup will now install the necessary drivers to enable your device to be detected," it actually <i>is</i> doing something, but it isn't apparent until you reinstall the driver. To be honest, I just don't know. The computer I'm using is only a few months old and I didn't have any problems installing on an older computer.
    Oh well. I hope that fixes your problem.
    As far as the problem with the 360 connectivity, I'm sorry I can't help you there.Message Edited by potestasx on -03-2006:28 PM

  • Synch with WMP and end up with duplicate tra

    have a zen touch 20gb and use WMP to synch with the player. the problem that i have is that some tracks duplicate after synching. have the latest player firmware installed and WMP 0. request to know if there is a fix to prevent duplicate tracks from occurring on the player when i synch?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

    I believe I started having problems after I updated these programs. I downloaded a video from youtube and now it will not play or show on RealPlayer. RealPlayer goes through the process like it did previously but now it plays back a blank black screen. The clip position moves as if its playing the video but nothing. No video or sound. Also, when I clicked on the clip's name the CLIP INFO window show the SOURCE as blank. All my other videos show the source as YouTube. Any help out there?

    same issue with same system specs. Google Chrome and Safari download the files just fine. Firefox used to dowmload files fine.
