RealPlayer SP playing a mp3 file
RealPlayer SP Radio
RealPlayer Movies/TV
District 9 movie trailer
District 9 movie trailer
What works :
- Audio : All of the audio files I tried played without any problems.
- Radio : works reasonably good, each time you select a station select open in the dialog box.
- Movies/TV : about 75% of the movie trailers I tested worked with any problem.
- Selecting Station, Genre etc... caused the player to lock up on me, narrowing the available selections works fine with the search option.
- Some of the movie trailers wouldn't play, the player screen remained black but the audio played just fine..Maybe this can be worked around with a codec change or video setting change.
- I didn't test DVD, VCD or burning so im not sure how well these features work at this time.
