Subject: Weird Behavior With Winamp, Real Player and RP Auto-Update
Hi List,
Boy this is a weird one--so as Ricky Ricardo once said to Lucy "'Xplain to
me Lucy!"
I have been running the Tara plugin for quite a while across several
operating systems Win 9X, ME and XP. I have never seen what I am about to
describe before. Until today, I was able to play all real audio content
perfectly fine using Winamp. Today when I clicked on a real media file (all
types) I got the message:
"one or more components to play this type of file are missing on your
system. To download the proper components, click yes." I figured this
might be something to do with upgrading to Real One, so I did everything I
could to avoid downloading and installing any new software. I exited Real
Player's task tray Icon (start center); I took any reference to Real Player
out of the startup dialogue in MS Configuration; I associated and
re-associated the file types in Winamp; I rebooted several times, etc. etc.
etc and nothing worked to eliminate this problem.
Finally, I got brave. I clicked yes on the auto update button. I was taken
to another dialogue that asked me if I wanted to download and install the
necessary components from Real Networks. The indicated size was only 207
KB. I realized immediately that this in no way could be the entire Real One
Player, so I reluctantly clicked Yes. In a few seconds, whatever had to be
downloaded and installed was downloaded and installed and I got the
particular file I wanted to load and play to do jus that. I now have full
access to all real media types including Spinamp sources using Winamp.
What I want to know is just what happened and why. Does anyone know?
