Excellent program. I found only one glitch. It won't self terminate with Replay Radio at the end of a broadcast. Otherwise it streams just fine and works beautifully

I love this program as I do QT Alt and MPC, but would really like to see a new version released that will work with IE8.

I can't rate this as anything above 1 seeing as I'm unable to use this, due to the fact that it's not a codec, it's an application - rendering it open to the limitations of applications such as not working cross-platform, through different operating system versions, and having to use this "codec" to replace your current media player, instead of enhancing it.

Downloaded Real Alt and "installed" it...no icon on desktop; and when I try opening the program from my progam listing nothing happens. I have a Vista64, so (notwithstanding that it's supposed to run on Vista) I presume it doesn't work on this Vista version.

It's small and fast and plays .rm files on my xp system; what more could I ask?
I agree with comment 22 Apr 2006 | Written by: Graham, that after clicking Stop, there's no way to Play other than closing RA and clicking the filename in Explorer. A pain in the ass and so noticeable it should have been spotted immediately by the developer and fixed. Havent tried any previous versions so don't know if this bug occurred in any.
Havent tried the Mozilla/Firefox plugin.
I'm GLAD this app UNINSTALLS Real Player, which was installed on my machine by the vendor.

First, my most sincere thanks to all of those who have built and promoted Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative. Thank you...your work is deeply appreciated.
However, two small but important problems seem to have popped up with Real Alternative 1.82.
I finally pulled Apple QuickTime and installed QuickTime Alternative 2.6.0. Next, I installed Real Alternative 1.82 as an upgrade to Real Alternative 1.51.
Now, when I listen to ra/ram streams, each file/track takes upwards of 30 seconds to load. Under 1.51, 5-10 seconds is typical. There have been no changes made to my configurations other than those which accompany 1.82.
The second problem is that embedded MIDIs, which used to play on page load do not play at all. I am presently using Firefox 2 and don't want to upgrade to Firefox 3 until this issue sorts out.
Any ideas? Has anyone else noted either of these problems or have I inadvertently clobbered my configurations?

I installed Real Alternative 1.60 in Sep 2007; it's OK, excepted that when clicking a Real .RAM file, it uselessly asks me if I want to run it; this was acceptable in 1993, but is no more in 2008.
Today I downloaded RA 1.82. Since it doesn't tell me if I must or not, I 1st try uninstall 1.60; but this requires I 1st close all IE and WMP windows.
Hey, we are in 2008, i.e. 20 years after Windows is sold as "multi-tasking": my PC has been up for weeks, I have 83 buttons on my Task bar (in addition to the myriads apps and services running without my knowledge), of course I won't close all this just to update a tiny program I can live without.

I had RealProducer G2 installed on my PC. Right after I installed Real Alternative, G2 stopped working. I reinstalled it but, then, Real Alternative stopped working. Only one works. As soon as I install one, the other stops working.
There is nowhere to turn for support. :(

Very nice piece of software. I had some issues with Windows Vista though. If you run a multi-user environment the installer does not replace all paths in the registry. You have to replace all occurences of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\ with C:\Program Files\Real Alternative in the registry yourself. Otherwise Real Alternative won't load correctly for other users. (Media Player classic can't open files without admin privs, so does Internet Explorer. Firefox crashes when trying to load the plugin.)

I have been using this a few years now, after I got fed up with Real Player always adding it processes to startup, and always trying to make connections even when specially diabled all those options.
Anyway this is a must have program, and is a great way of getting MPC on top. Works with every Real media file I have used, so no problems there.
I have read some info on the net that it might not be leagl using this pogram, but i don\'t care as its much better than the orgional Real Player.

Thanks for the RA package. I've been using it on and off for years now. However, I still have problems receiving streaming RAM files with RA from a seemingly busy/high-traffic site:
http://www.democracynow .org
System:
Windows XP
Celeron 256k
DSL
After approx 1 min 30 sec, RA shuts down and the following message appears:
"Connection to server has timed out. You may be experiencing network problems."
On a separate computer with Real Player installed, this is not a problem.
Otherwise, other streaming sites seem to work with RA.
Please fix this.

I have two computers (both Windows Vista Ultimate), and I installed Real Alternative on both systems. But on one of the machines, I get this flashing green vertical bar right in the center of the video, when I try to play a RMVB file. Very strange, because it works fine on my other computer...

Around 50% of real videos I like to watch (because d**n webpages don't offer other formats) don't play with real alternative (player crashes). For example those here:

The fact that it doesn't support streaming media on WMP 10 defies the purpose of this program!
Most Real files are stremed people, so it's pointless to have a codec that can't play streaming content.

and users with problems, you must have messed up your codecs or something, or there's been severe bugs in earlier versions of real alternative, since i can't see a single flaw with this product.

Really, not so good. I discovered that in order to play MovieLink downloads I had purchased, I had to update $RealPlayer$, except $Real Player$ was wiped off my system in the install of MPC.
Now I am searching the system for the uninstall program for MPC, so I can reinstall $$$RealPlayer$$$.
So MPC works fine, but the lack of an uninstall, and the inability to mimic $$RealPlayer$$ to MovieLink are definite drawbacks.
