Real Media format & error messages

Post by tomcom »

in 1.80 the real media vdo clips in the browser return an error,
"unable to determine format.rm"..i can rt click & select open with
Real Player & then it plays in real player. tedious.
before i simply clicked on the file & it opened & played in the RM Player.
the 1.80 version seems full of bugs at least for me.
suggestions?

When you click on a .rm file, you have an error?

i get the error message," format of the file abc.rm cannot be determined".
previously i could left click on a rm file within the browser & it would open
in Real Player. now if i have to rt click & "open with" Real Player.

the problem is when i LEFT click on a rm file in the browser i get the
"unable to determine format" message.
so now i must rt click on the file ,IN THE BROWSER & open with Real Player.

in the previous version i simply left clicked on the file in the browser & it
opened real player & played.

No, but that error dialog is a bug for me (old known bug).

Anyway, it works good in new beta, so just wait for final version. :)
