Can't Play Real Media Vids

[Jester]

I downloaded some rm files and they won't play. I have K-Lite codec pack installed. I tried real alternative even and nothing.



I get this error

Some older RM files won't play until you install RealPlayer and download that old plugin from it's interface (it asks to 'download a new software to play this file'). The rest RM's should play in any Direct Show player with RealAlternative installed. Codec packs are absolutely useless for this.
Real Player is known to be in conflict with RealAlternative on the same PC.

Gabest's real decoder wrapper from recollection doesn't support RV10 (not to be confused with RV 10 aka RV9 EHQ). Enable RV10 decoding in ffdshow and it should work. Same goes I think for RV20.
