Play Real Media WITHOUT installing RealPlayer

I've had Tara on my system for quite some time now. Real
Media links now open with Winamp.

Do you think WMP9 with the codec would play RM files?

It doesn't seem to work for me, I installed the codecs and the plugin for winamp but when I click a link nothing happens, infact the sites tell me I don't have the Real Player thing installed.....maybe I have to restart the computer? I'll see.

On the Tara's Real A/V Input Plugin for Winamp website, I noticed the following:

quote:

---

* You must have Real Player installed in order for this plugin to work. Download Real Player (recommended version of Real Player)

* In order to play Real Jukebox files (RMX), you also need Real Jukebox.

That did not work out for me so I searched and came up with the freeware JetAudio from »www.jetaudio.com/ to play Real Media files.

Still playing with it but it will play the files saved to disk from this site »service.real.com/test/index.html I am testing adding the links to the play list with mixed results. For those interested in computer security sites there is a site that has some presentations and lectures here »www.blackhat.com/html/bh-multi-m···ves.html and they seem to stream through JetAudio.

JetAudio is a lot more »www.jetaudio.com/products/jetaud···dex.html than a video streamer and player and if that is what you need you might want to use a more specialized piece of software.

Paul,

Lurkers inc: thanks for that real.com link. All of those work...to some extent with MPC. All the video clips I get maybe a new frame every 5 seconds, but the audio is fine. All the audio clips work just fine...

If it's not on Google, then it doesn't exist.
My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

The Media Player Classic is a *little* buggy I'm afraid. If it doesn't work for you could try Tara's plugin for Winamp.

However Lurker's inc's post reminded me about JetAudio. It's also a very good alternative.

Great post ............just watched a full movie and uninstalled quicktime and got »lb1.edskes.com/quicktimealt100.exe also works with mpc

The full movie I watched was here »www.heavytv.ca/LA.html

You can install Real Player and then disable all the spyware. Here's the site with instructions.

It could be ok, but...
"Ace Media Player is shareware for 30-day evaluation."
Pay $19.95 USD for something I can get free of charge? No way!

Check out this FAQ item I made which explains how to install RealOne so that all the spyware and extra junk is removed.

»Spyware and Adware F.A.Q. »Is it possible to Install RealOne without spyware?

Not to belittle the topic author (who I give a big thumbs up), but I think it's sure a lot easier to use RealOne and remove the spyware than to use two or three other things to play a video.

No prob at all Macgyver ...good job with the faq, didn't know there was one.
