Real Media Player Classic
Cre Wallace
All of a sudden this am, a few of my users are reporting that media player classic is crashing to desktop. Sure enough when i try it on their machines its true. temporarily disabling sophos endpoint, and media player classic is working fine.
Once i figure out wtf component is doing the blocking, im sure i can whitelist it somewhere. But this is damned annoying sophos... At least i just skip straight to disabling the virus scanner when these things happen because i KNOW if *** just randomly starts breaking whose fault it generally is...
basically go to settings -> global exclusions -> then add an exclusion of type "exploit mitigation" and find the two media player classic items (32 and 64 bit) and create rules. Was pretty quickly solved after that.
yeah sorry i am understaffed and just fighting fires these days. I dont have time to do this. plus i have to break it again and i am not doing that. We use media player classic to listen to voicemails, as well as being the default audio player for the computer. So it affects many people when its not working.

MPC does not support all types of streams, but your link should work in MPC if you install Real Player or Alternative. Also update to Windows Media Player 11 if you haven't already, even if you don't use it.
Do you have the latest Alternative 1.8.0? In MPC's options, under Formats, are all the Real entries set to use RealMedia (if you click a few times where it says DirectShow, you will get a drop down list). RTSP is a transport protocol that's used by RealPlayer and WMP 11, it's not a file type. There are some internet MultiCast streams that require IPV6.
I just installed the latest codecs, and none of the streams at your link seem to work, so they are either all down, or they require that your internet provider support IPV6 (unless they require RealPlayer 11 itself, which I'm not going to install).
IPV6 is Internet Protocol Version 6, it's a new networking protocol that connects computers to the internet; not all Internet Service Providers support it yet. It's installed on Windows Vista by default, but you can also install it on XP by going to Add Windows Components, Networking, Peer-to-Peer. IPV6 is not an application protocol, it has nothing to do with browsers or media players, but there are a few live streams that use it (it's usually called MultiCast, Virgin Radio has such a stream, which I can't play, probably because my internet provider doesn't support it: _us/tech...cast/index.html )
Just tried all the above links and none seem to work, so either a codec is missing, or they all use ipv6 multicast... You can try uninstalling alternative and installing RealPlayer 11, but I don't think that's the problem.
These are all live radio streams from the United Kingdom. The RealPlayer links all use RTSP, the links point to .RAM metafiles hosted on a web server, but inside those metafiles are rtsp urls (to check this, you can save .ram files to your computer then open them with Notepad, Radiofeeds uses scripts to disable right-clicking, so you may have to use Firefox and disable some Javascript options).
I later realised, after some searching, that both Real and Apple QuickTime have an .sdp file extension they use for streams. But since I never use QuickTime, I completely forgot about it. RealPlayer, WMP11, and QuickTime all use the RTSP transport for their streams, because it's the most reliable protocol for carrying streams, and it was specifically designed for that purpose. The media type used for a stream is not associated with a particular transport protocol, it's just that rtp and rtsp became a sort of standard, and now all three companies are using it (Real, Microsoft, and Apple). Because both RealMedia and QuickTime have an .sdp extension, it could be confusing the browser plugins and players. RTSP is usually associated with RealPlayer by default... Open MPC, View, Options, Formats, Real-Time Streaming Protocol handler, try switching that option to QuickTime or DirectShow, also in that same window, check that "quicktime file" is using "quicktime" and not "directshow".
Love it almost as much, maybe even a little more than VLC. Functionally they both seem to play any formats I want, and perhaps I just like the interface of MPC slightly better. I install this with K-Lite on almost any PC I use.
The best of the best. I even prefer this over VLC. It does need codecs on the side, but its audio boost ability, Hardware rendering capabilities, and light resource requirements make it my favorite lightweight media player to date.
A great media player, plays some files that VLC has trouble playing. Although the real power of this player comes through when you download CCCP codec pack, after that this thing can play almost anything.
This project is now principally maintained by the community at the Doom9 forum. The active forks are Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) by clsid2 (same developer known as clsid responsible for MPC 6.4.9.1), and Media Player Classic - Black Edition (MPC-BE) by aleksoid.
The original Media Player Classic was created and maintained by a programmer named "Gabest" who also created PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX. It was developed as a closed-source application, but later relicensed as free software under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-later license. MPC is hosted under the guliverkli project at SourceForge.net. The project itself is something of an umbrella organization for works by Gabest.
Media Player Classic development stalled in May 2006. Gabest, the main developer of the original version, stated in March 2007 that development of Media Player Classic is not dead but that he was unable to work on it.[5] MPC 6.4.9.0, released March 20, 2006, is the final official version.
In August 2007, an unofficially patched and updated build became available, from Doom9 member clsid, hosted under the guliverkli2 project at SourceForge.net. Known as Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1, it was meant for fixing bugs and updating outdated libraries; its branch's development has been inactive since 2011. MPC 6.4.9.1 Revision 107, released February 14, 2010, is the final release version.[6][7] The community at the Doom9 forum has since further continued the project with MPC-HC.
