What to you think of RealPlayer?

(1/4) > >>

Renegade:
I've been watching the counter at s***ware.net soar for hate against RealPlayer. About half of all answers are for it.

I haven't updated RealPlayer in a while, but it just works. I've never had a single problem. I have v10.5 installed, and have no problems with it ever.

Mouser likes it. I don't know who else does.

Years ago it was horrible, but it's pretty good now.

I'd like to know what people hate about it, or like about it. That is if anyone has the time or inclination.

Cheers,

Ryan

kimmchii:
why hate or like it? just ignore it and use real alternative.

app103:
I'll let you know if I hate it or like it once I get it to work.

So far, every PC I have ever tried it on, I couldn't get it to work.

Not on a P1 with Win98 or WinME, not on a P3 with WinME, and not on a P4 with XP.

Funny thing though...Real Alternative DOES work.

Renegade:
Strange - I had stability problems with it when it was G5 or whatever - but that was YEARS ago. I've had zero problems with it in the past 3 or 4 years though.

The RealMedia format is pretty good.

mouser:
have to agree, i've never had any troubles with real over the years, and i use it constantly to listen to internet radio and watch cspan video.
