    RealPlayer Belongs to Satan Himself

    Posted 14 years 9 months ago
    • I have wmv files and flv files that were designed to be played in their respective players, however, if one has RealPlayer installed on their computer, it hijacks the intended media player, (and in fact, asks if the user wants to download the educational membership only videos).

      Is there a plugin that will FORCE RealPlayer to go to hell, and at the same time require that the media file be played in the intended media format?

      ANY assistance would be DEEPLY appreciated. Thanks!

    • Hi,

      A better solution would be to uninstall real player and use video lan .

    • I honestly thought RealPlayer was dead :D

      I personally prefer this: www.cccp-project.net/
      I'm not sure if they still bundle Zoom Player, If not, get it here: www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml

    • Gentleman, I think you may misunderstand my issue. I am the developer, and have flash videos and wmv videos on our site. If one has RealPlayer installed on their personal computer and visits our site, by default, a RealPlayer popup message asks if they want to download our video files . . . . and although I know that anything is hackable, and that there are many other ways to download our video files, I don't want to just hand over our product for free.

      So, what I need, is a Joomla plugin that will not allow RealPlayer to steal our product line? In other words, is there a way to prevent the wmv or flv file to play in RealPlayer, and/or REQUIRE the Flash player to be installed on the end user's computer to view our content, or Windows Media Player (for wmv files)? I absolutely hate RealPlayer because those with it can steal everything we've worked so hard for.
