Real Alternative 2.0.2

I love it! Works great in Firefox, but can't seem to get it to work in IE. Any suggestions?

Love it. How can I get the source code? I would like to learn how to make it work and compile it locally.

well, i haven't really dld this yet, but i want to cuz of all the comments you got here, it's just that, do i have to register to dld this? cuz i'm having problems with Real Audio, so i really, really, REALLY want to dld this!

Well, I haven't tried it on every possible site. I had been doing a lot of listening to BBC live, but BBC offers WMP or REAL as options, no big deal. Then, I wanted to see some video on PBS--no dice, I had uninstalled my RealPlayer 10 because it was a resource hog. So I had to install something in the REAL category. Real Alternative worked flawlessly on both BBC and PBS. Maybe you don't mind the resource hogging of RealPlayer, but if you do, and don't mind the lack of fancy options, and you just want to play REAL streaming video or audio format, and use low resources, Real Alternative worked for me (WinXp system.)

Still won't stream RAM files. I always get a message saying:

"Windows Media Player 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 far this program has been a real answer to alot of REAL problems ive had. And Now i dont have to download that spyware ridden crap that is impossible to get with. Im not sure if this is a program made by a guy in his bed room, and not a large multinational software company, but if so, thanks dude, thats another blow to 'em!

Good job man. Perfect for my purposes, plus it does not interfere with media player 10.
No spammy content to deal with, and no resource problems. Great !!!

Great job on this. Not tried it on everything. I have Windows XP 64 Bit, and Real Player simply won't install on my computer. I found this, installed it, tried listening to a ram file streamed over the internet live... and it worked perfectly!

Thank you very very much! Definitely Recommend!

In addition of the post of Manji (7th Oct 2004).
The problem of proxy has not yet been solved in this 1.51 version (works with Real Player, even through HTTP proxy). I'm with a private address, and I can't read any stream :-(
No settings to configure it...

muito bom!
ótimo player... pequeno, rápido e simples!

recomendo!

Thank you for Real Alternative!

Your software is great, but do you think you could create a version for palmos, or a codec for other palmos programs? That'd be so great!

After months of deliberating and reading the comments of satisfied and slightly dissatisfied Real Alternative users I finally took the plunge and downloaded Real Alternative 1.46.

I am more than satisfied. Real Alternative 1.46 in unobtrusive and at last I can listen to rm and ra files.

I highly recommend this software.

With the genuine (ugh!) Real Player (RP) I could not play films/TV my ISP offers, zilch happened, then serendipity struck, I read the reviews on the alternative, dumped RP and installed the alternative - result, ****** amazing, all going great now. Ditto with BBC London who have a Henry Ford policy here, Real Player or nothing for both TV & Radio, they now both coming in 5/5 - well done version 1.46 - Mick
