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.

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."

For some reason if I stop a file I have to go and reopen because for some reason the Media Player Classic won't start it again once its stopped. also the program won't loop the file for the same reason. Is there any way to fix this.

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 !!!

I have no problem playing .rmvb files but I can't open .rm or .ram files. I've tried different players and none of them seem to work. I've tried renaming the file to .rmvb and opening the file in textpad to get the rtsp string. Neither of those have worked.

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!

i just installed real alt 1.48, latest version. tried playing a .ram file and got error message: cannot render file or something like that. if you have this same problem, try this. it worked fine for me although a real pain. download the file, ex: hurl.ram into a folder. go to folder,right click and open using textpad. you should see a rtsp type string. highlight it and copy it. open up your browser and paste this rtsp in URL line and click go. file should play in real alt. has worked many times for me. hope this helps someone.

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...
