ANON BUD  This is from the Real Player Support desk:

“Our technical department is also working on to fix this issue and hope it will be fixed at the earliest. We are not in a position to declare the date, so I request you to check our Web site to know about our new updates.”

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  The player works perfectly fine for me in Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I only use this program for the RealPlayer Downloader agent anyway, but I'm not experiencing any crashing issues.

ANON BUD  RP download agent still worked for me, too, but the Player itself kept crashing. After several e-mails back and forth from RP support (and a very frustrating time getting them to understand that I am not using a Windows machine!) I finally reached their second tier support system and am hoping they can fix the problems. I sent them to this page in MacUpdate and the corresponding page in Version Tracked to get them to understand this is not an isolated issue. Here's hoping for the best!

ANON BUD  If you'll check the link above, you can access version 10.5. I'm going back to 11.01 with my Time Machine.

ANON BUD  I've been getting a run around from Real Player customer support. At first they thought I was a Windows user, Egads! A WINDOWS user?

Then they told me that the new version of Real Player was only available for Windows. I kept referring them to this MacUpdate page to look at all the people who are having problems with this.

Once I get back to my Time Machine, I'm gonna switch back to 11.01, which was working fine for me.

ANON BUD  Looks like RP has been taken off their site and is no longer accessible! Yeah. This means they realize the thing doesn't work on Snow Leopard.

PEEDEEBEE  This doesn't work at all. Whatever radio stream I try to play, a window appears saying some components are needed (text/html), but in the box below that where the necessary components are supposed to be listed and downloadable, it's blank. In the discussion area of the Real site, a staff person posted instructions (from Oct. 2008) for what to do to fix this, but they didn't help.

There are fewer and fewer radio streams that are not playable in iTunes. Good thing!

DDSTUFF  I've noticed I've had crashing issues while trying to use Real Player 11.1. I found a solution to the issue.

Go to your "Library/Preferences/"

And look for "com.RealNetworks.RealPlayer.plist" and "com.realnetworks.realplayerdownloader.plist".

Or anything that says "RealNetworks" in there.

Delete them and relaunch Real Player.

BTW, I'm running Leopard 10.5.8.

Not sure if this will work with Snow Leopard users.

DDSTUFF  The only work around is having a web browser like Firefox or Safari open in order to use Real Player. And selecting "Later" on the System Configuration dialog box.

ANON BUD  Nope. Not working for me on Snow Leopard. Launching while Safari is open and clicking “Later” to reconfigure system works.

Undoubtedly, this is a bug with RP. Hope they get it fixed soon as I love RP and use it all the time!

JSH  Crashes on launch for me too. Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on 2009 MacBook Pro.

No good for me any more.

TRANCE  I agree that the software should be rated on what it does and not on a political agenda, but having said that, the initial version 11 was horrendous, and i went back to version 10 which works fine.

Until i see some release notes of what has been fixed i am very reluctant to try any new version
