Am I doing something wrong?

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: Peter_H Monday, February 07 2005 @ 05:20 AM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

It runs, it downloads the schedules (a bit slowly), but it won't play anything.
I don't have Real installed (and I never will, on principle), so I was hoping its built-in player would work. Is anyone else using this without Real Player installed?

Re Am I doing something wrong? - Digital Dude

Peter_H Hi

As stated by Flixton you still need to have Real Player on your computer in order to use the embedded player. Real player does supply a free version, so I'm not sure which principle you could be invoking here?

Hope that helps

Unfortunately yes. You still need to have RealPlayer installed to use the embedded player (check the documentation). The BBC only streams using the RealPlayer format which needs the RP software to decode. Principles are tough sometimes, I guess you won't be listening to the BBC online. (Unless you want to listen to some of their archived material using WMP!)
