    RealPlayer? Cleanest/smallest version with playlist support?

    Or at least a winamp .rm plug-in

    Any suggestions?

    or u could try googling for something called Real Alternative, thers also a Quicktime Alternative,i think it might be something 2 do with MPC tho.

    Pretty sure its part of the KazaaLite Mega codec pack thingy

    Oh right, forgot to mention i once had that real alternative/media player classic and it use to cause my gfx to crash and revert back to 640x480 @ 16colours usually halfway through a vid, very annoying. Unless there is a new version of it, its not very good for my system

    What i (and many others) dont like about the standard realplayer is all the bullsh*t they chuck in, all those sneaky little links and apps that run in the background always trying to send info back etc. God i hate that evil crap

    I've installed RealOne2.0 , bad idea but its the only thing that would play the files i had, i tried realplayer 5,6,7,8 and all of them said i needed to update the player to play the files...probably another scam by real to get me to upgrade to their newer smarter spyware filled bloated POS software

    the windows version is bloated & loaded with spyware. the linux version is lightweight & minimalist.

    and there ARE two players - realplayer for linux is helixplayer plus closed-source codecs.



    you can get helix and the real codecs if you want - but that's what realplayer for linux IS, so there's no massive benefit to doing so

    basically though, that's correct - and it highlights the problem with using properietary formats for media; you're locked into using their software & bending over & taking whatever they provide alongside it. there's absolutely no reason for a company to tie themselves into proprietary formats nobody likes - with some high profile trailblazers who don't lock you into bloaty spyware

    bear in mind the real alternative is in direct violation of the real licensing agreements, using it is illegal
