Real One Player for OS X
« on: August 19, 2003, 12:37:57 PM »
Not sure if this was ever posted before.

But while streaming video and not paying attention, my screens were put to sleep via the Energy Saver CP.  When I woke my B&W, Real One Player unexpectedly quit.  I only have the CP set to sleep the screens and not the hard drive or CPU.

I reproduced this several times over to confirm that this situation is consistant.

I have always found Real Player software to cause erratic behavior. So, it has no place on my computer.

Too bad, because a few sites that I would like to listen to use it exclusively.

Hmmm... maybe I should write to KingFM and reqest that they look into MP3 streaming. I listen to KEXP.org with iTunes a lot.

IAWB.

I've had such bad luck with RealPlayer that whenever I download something that needs it I save it for the last thing I do before shutdown. Half the time it freezes the system requiring a forced restart so I just force shutdown.
