Getting RealPlayer To Work on Your Mac

I posted the following article to my blog at http://bit.ly/pRyHR over the weekend. Hope this helps someone.

Problems playing content with RealPlayer on your Mac? Try configuring to receive content via HTTP only:

1. On the RealPlayer menu, click Preferences.
2. Click the Transport icon.
3. Select the Use manually configured RTSP and PNA transport Settings check box.
4. Click the Configure button.
5. Under RTSP, clear all boxes except HTTP.
6. Under PNA, clear all boxes except HTTP, then close the Transport Preferences window.

This may degrade image quality somewhat, but it does fix "socket" and "transport" errors in many cases. I had to do this on my own computer to get RealPlayer to work.
