Updates
When you are working online, RealPlayer can perform three
levels of updates:
- Automatic:
When this feature is enabled (Weekly or Monthly) in the General
Preferences, RealPlayer will periodically check with RealNetworks
for updates.
If updates are available, the "RealPlayer AutoUpdate"
dialog will ask if you want to download and install the updates.
Automatic checks are performed only while RealPlayer is running.
- On Demand:
When RealPlayer tries to perform a function for which it doesn't have
the software (for example: playing an older format without the
legacy plug-in), RealPlayer will ask if you want to request the
required software from RealNetworks. The software is then downloaded and
installed.
- Manual Update: RealPlayer checks for new and updated software when you select Check for
Update in the RealPlayer menu. The "RealPlayer AutoUpdate"
dialog will open and list the available software. Select the software
you want to download and click Install
to continue. RealPlayer will download and install the requested software.
When performing
an update, your computer will communicate with RealNetworks to determine
which updates are needed. See RealNetworks' Privacy Policy
for details.
Not all services and features are available in all countries. Services and features will be added as they become available.
