Preferences: Media Types

Use this page to select which media types you want the RealOne Player to play by default. For Example, you can set RealOne Player as the default player for MP3 files. With MP3 selected, when you double-click any MP3 file from a file folder, RealOne Player will open (if not open already) and start playing the file automatically.

This is particularly useful after installing other programs on your computer that may play some of the same media types. Media types that you select will use RealOne Player as their default player after you click OK.

All Media Types that your RealOne Player is currently able to play are listed on this preference page. A check mark indicates that RealOne Player is the default player for that particular media type. RealNetworks is constantly working to expand the abilities of your Player; as you add plug-ins to RealOne Player this list will change.

Scroll through the list of supported Media Types and select (check) or de-select (uncheck) Media Types you would like RealOne Player to play by default. You can also click Select All to select all the currently supported Media Types or Unselect All to select none.

Periodically check my system... Other software can modify your computer settings so that some of the selected media types will not use RealOne Player by default.  Select this option to let RealOne Player regularly check your system and restore the default setting for the selected media types.

Attention: When you select this preference page, RealOne Player will take several moments to determine what Media Types are supported and if they are selected.
