Now Playing

Now Playing shows which clips are currently queued to play and which clips have most recently been played. It can also be used as a scratch pad for creating playlists by dragging and dropping files, links, or clips from your computer's file folders, a Browser, or My Library to the list.

You can save the current Now Playing list for future use by saving it as a permanent Playlist in My Library. (See Using Now Playing for details.)

  • Click Now Playing Button in your RealPlayer Status display (located on the top of the Player) to open or close your Now Playing panel. When the Media Browser is open, Now Playing will appear on the left side of the Media Browser.

  • The Now Playing status bar: Status Bar (at the bottom of Now Playing) displays the number of items in the list, the number of items selected, and the total play time of the selected items.
    Note:
    Play time may not be shown for some clips until playback begins.

  • Click Detach Browser in the Now Playing panel to detach it from your Player (floating panel). Click Attach Browser to attach it.
