==Supported platforms for RealPlayer== ===Windows=== RealPlayer SP includes audio CD burning capabilities, DVR-style playback buffering, multimedia search, Internet radio, a jukebox-style file library, an embedded web browser (using Microsoft Internet Explorer), and the ability to convert and transfer media to a wide range of devices. This includes music players such as [[iPod]] and [[Zune]], smartphones such as [[iPhone]] and [[BlackBerry]], portable gaming devices such as [[PlayStation Portable|Sony PSP]], and console gaming systems such as [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation 3|PS3]], and [[Wii]]. Since version 11, RealPlayer SP has gained Flash Video support, DVD, SVCD, VCD burning (120-minute), and video recording (DRM is supported). As of 2008, RealPlayer Enterprise is a licensed product for enterprise applications which can be customized and remotely administered by RealPlayer Enterprise Manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realnetworks.com/products/rpe/index.html |title=RealPlayer Enterprise |publisher=Real Networks |access-date=August 17, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100729182844/http://www.realnetworks.com/products/rpe/index.html |archive-date=July 29, 2010 }}</ref> The free ''Realplayer Enterprise Education Edition'' has been removed.<ref name=RPEntEdu>{{cite web|url=http://forms.real.com/rnforms/products/tools/rpedist/index.html |title=Realplayer Enterprise Education Edition download |publisher=Real Networks |access-date=March 16, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528094819/http://forms.real.com/rnforms/products/tools/rpedist/index.html |archive-date=May 28, 2010 }}</ref> Both versions of Realplayer Enterprise are lightweight, ad-free versions of RealPlayer, missing most consumer features and most plug-in support. The RealSched.exe update reminder can be disabled in two steps, and it is not reinstalled upon running the player. ===macOS=== <!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:RealPlayer browser.png|thumb|RealPlayer 10's browser showing the RealPlayer Wikipedia page.{{ffdc|1=RealPlayer browser.png|log=2012 April 24|date=April 2012}}]] --> While RealPlayer for macOS had been distributed (for free) in the past, {{as of|lc=y|2018|12}} no macOS version of RealPlayer is available for download from the Real site.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.real.com/ |title=RealPlayer and RealTimes Official Homepage |publisher=Real.com |date=December 22, 2018 |access-date=December 22, 2018 |archive-date=September 22, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922165739/http://www.real.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The last stable release {{as of|lc=y|2010|7}} included Real's Helix playback engine for RealAudio and RealVideo, a 10-band equalizer and video adjustment controls, and a full-screen, resizable "theater mode" for video playback, as well as many features found in its Windows counterpart. Since the release of version 10 on January 7, 2004,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releases/2004/real_macbeta.html |title=RealNetworks announces RealPlayer 10 for Mac OS X |publisher=Realnetworks.com |date=June 28, 2004 |access-date=July 16, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090622025832/http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releases/2004/real_macbeta.html |archive-date=June 22, 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540&vid=152394 |title=Release notes from |publisher=Versiontracker |access-date=July 16, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206010553/http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540%26vid%3D152394 |archive-date=February 6, 2009 }}</ref> RealPlayer had become much more closely integrated with macOS including features such as: * QuickTime playback support (including full-screen viewing which Apple only introduced to its own basic [[QuickTime|QuickTime Player]] in 2007) * An integrated Web browser based on Apple's [[WebKit]] framework, resulting in RealPlayer and [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] sharing cookies. * Support for [[Bonjour (software)|Bonjour]] to share Internet favorites. * [[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]] user interface. All available versions of RealPlayer for macOS are 32-bit, thus the program can only run up to [[macOS Mojave]] due to 32-bit app support being dropped in [[macOS Catalina|Catalina]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436|title=32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later|work=apple.com|access-date=December 22, 2018|archive-date=December 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181222110440/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Linux/Unix=== RealPlayer for Linux/Unix was developed separately from the Windows and Mac versions. {{Citation needed|date=May 2008}} The client is based on the open-source [[Helix (multimedia project)|Helix Player]] which can be found at the [https://helixcommunity.org/ Helix Community Website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726144706/https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/ |date=July 26, 2011 }}. It supports Windows Media 7/8, RealAudio/Video, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. The interface depends on the current [[GTK+]] theme. ===Android=== The [[Android (operating system)|Android]] version of RealPlayer is currently available as a free download from the Google Play Store.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://market.android.com/details?id=com.real.RealPlayer|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121217143938/https://market.android.com/details?id=com.real.RealPlayer|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 17, 2012|title=RealPlayer® - Android Apps on Google Play|author=RealNetworks, Inc.|work=android.com}}</ref> It supports Real Audio, Real Video, MP3, 3GP, AMR, and other media formats. ===Symbian=== The Symbian version of RealPlayer allows mobile phones to play Real Audio, Real Video, MP3, 3GP, AMR, and other media formats. It is provided as [[freeware]]. In newer Symbian devices it can also be used to stream both audio and video content in the form of MP3 (music) and 3GP (videos). ===Palm=== RealPlayer 1.6.1 (US) or RealPlayer 1.6.0 (worldwide) is available for free for PalmOne-made [[Palm OS]] 5 devices, such as the [[Palm Tungsten]] or [[Zire Handheld|Zire]] series.<ref name="palmone">{{cite web|url=http://www.real.com/realmobile/palmone.html |title=RealPlayer for palmOne Handhelds |publisher=Real.com |access-date=July 16, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090722170918/http://www.real.com/realmobile/palmone.html |archive-date=July 22, 2009 }}</ref> It is also compatible with RealPlayer Music Store tracks. However, they will neither install nor run on non-PalmOne-made devices like [[Sony|Sony's]] [[CLIÉ|Clie]] line of PDAs. Realplayer for Palm OS does not support later Palm smartphones such as the treo 700p, 755p, or Centro, although the treo 600 and 650 are listed as supported devices.
