Finally, I had to associate the formats with the MPC player. Then I had to go into MPC Home Cinema "options" and install the external filters for RealAudio, RealMedia, and RealVideo. Apparently, version 1.9 of Real Alternative does not look for RealPlayer garbage left behind as 2.02 does. The only solution I have found was to install K-Lite Mega Pack 7.8 and install the MPC Home Cinema v.1.5, then intall Real Alternative 1.90 into the same folder where Home Cinema is located, but I unchecked the MPC player during the install and just let the drivers install into the MPC Home Cinema folder. This did not work for me either and I was still unable to install the core components for Real Alternative 2.02. I uninstalled MPC and tried to reinstall Real Alternative 2.02, but it wouldn't allow me to select the core components for RealPlayer during installation.Īfter searching a bit on the internet, I found advice that directed me to go into my Program Files and Documents and Settings folders and delete the subfolders associated with RealPlayer, and also use a registry cleaner to try cleaning up what RealPlayer left behind. My MPC wouldn't play Real files at all (MPC - "unable to render file"). I uninstalled RealPlayer (BHO my RP had installed the whole program), but it left a lot of stuff behind after the uninstall those people, Real jerks). Chrome installed RealPlayer as a BHO while I was asleep at the wheel and then I started having problems playing. I have been using Real Alternative for years and never trusted RealPlayer after I saw how horrible it takes over your system.Ībout 4 or 5 months ago, I installed Google Chrome because IE v.9 does not support XP and v.8 is buggy. The following was my journey to resolve this on my own: They either should not check or do the final bit of house cleaning of RP trash before attempting to install. But I say then why does it check for things that RP leaves behind? Version 1.90 does not. Now some would argue that it uses RP's uninstall data so it isn't RA's fault. When you click yes, it fails to remove all the garbage left over by RealPlayer, and then after it proceeds to the installation of Real Alternative, it fails to install the core components. The version installed now is the latest as far as I know, and it is as filled with problems as the one from 2 years ago when the reliability went out the window.I can't give it a 5-star rating because when you install it, if you have RealPlayer already installed, it will tell you that you should uninstall it before proceeding and then asks you if you want to uninstall it now? Mind you: the earlier versions worked much better - and I have had RealPlayer for quite a few years now. The people who write these programs earn a healthy salary and all they can come up with is a program that cannot stay in operation? It is not a new problem, so I wonder what kind of excuse these overpaid hipsters have to offer? I will NOT recommend RealPlayer to any of my friends if this is the best they can do. It has been going on for 2 - two years now and my patience is starting to wear mighty thin. All I want is to listen to some music of my own choice while I do other things like writing on my computer and every fucking time I get this. I am so sick and tired of having to waste time on this. Every time I scroll through the library to find new songs for a play list, THIS happens. This has been almost a routine since 2015.
