My god. RealPlayer is still a thing? Nobody uses it. On the list of things to uninstall from new, retail PCs, realplayer is on the list near anything WildTangent and that free Norton nagware. Seriously, how is realnetworks still even around?
Experienced far too many user-related problems with this software, especially in terms of adware. Perhaps its just the habits of the typical users that install RealPlayer that leads to so many adware/spyware/malware issues, but seeing RealPlayer on a computer is usually a red flag for me. I steer clear of this one.
I'm over here cussing a blue streak at this choice of blocking,especially when I cant goto my "add ons" area and simply click"options/ turn on / enable etc" and what have you. Everything is greyed out thanks to an annoying block list filter.
I note the current Official Firefox advice is to downgrade to an earlier FlashPlayer version if you have problems. If that remains the case it may be difficult to justify leaving the RealPlayer extension on the blocklist and so it may be removed anyway.
Exactly, which is what I really didnt want to do, I appreciate firefox blocking some of the other useless crap, however to take away a feature that "may" or maynot be causing any difficulties with some versions of firefox or another... I don't feel it should be blocked. If they're so bothered by it, then slap a friggin warning label up on it and leave us with out difficulties on it alone. >/
Not having an issue with flash. I've not updated flash in.... -whistles.- aaaaaaages. Simply because alot of people do not make anything compatible with the only version of firefox I like any more. ( as far as flash and add ons go anyway )
Realplayer is a 3rd party add on that you can have disabled through real player if it messes with the browser. You dont have to have that on there, and you can also disable it through the browser on your own. So why they didnt slap a warning tag I can blatantly ignore on it instead of making it totally unusable to the point I HAVE to use IE, is beyond me. D<
Went there, they dont have anything -specifically- for realplayer, trust me, I looked. It's either ALL the block list or none of the block list from what I gathered, so there is no individual listing for it, if they made one, that would be nice, would have gone over there, blocked their blocking and been done with it instead of over here cussing a blue streak at firefox. =D
I just think its a rather... lame move on their part putting it nicely as possible at the moment that they felt the need / want / urge to block something such as real player that a user if they so CHOSE to, could block it on their own.
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
I tried looking for the update extensions however it gives me nothing for real player. Which is probably just as well, considering they now have 5 plug ins / add ons for version 15 something now? X.o; Dont really need all that useless junk.
I don't know why you are missing that preference. Are you running an extremely ancient version of Firefox? I think that preference was added in Firefox 3.5. Prior to that, there were no soft blocks or warnings, only hard blocks.
Very ancient firefox. Older than 3.5 actually. =D About the only version I have liked for interface and set up, even speed and compatibly. 2.0.0.18 I have tried other versions, however I didnt like them.
Um...lets see, I have tried 12, and didnt like it at all, I quickly got rid of it. Went to 9. something and didnt see where it was all that great. ( done this on another machine. ) this one has 2 and 3 something on it, however I've no plans to leave 2.0.0.18.
Door een andere discussie aangespoord, ben ik de formaten in onze media-filter-module nog eens nagelopen: ik heb getest op een vrij kale machine waar lokaal geen filters waren genstalleerd. 
Je kan dit op zo'n machine testen door een mediabestand rechtstreeks op een Moodle kaart te linken.. prompt word je dan gevraagd of je de player wil installeren.
.mp3 . wmv .flv .avi .mov .swf .mpg doen het allemaal, maar Realplayer formaten niet meer. Ik ben op zoek gegaan naar websites die uitleg geven over de inbedding van realplayer, maar vind alleen maar gebroken links, m.u.v de uitleg voor realplayer 11. 
Als ik die code voor streaming video overzet naar mijn Studiewijzerplus werkt het los wel, dus dat is niet het probleem.
