Hi

 

We signed a re-distribution agreement of Real player with real in the UK and package it up using Studio Admin and distribute it using SMS.  Studio admin allows us to strip out all the other stuff that comes with the free version such as adverts popping up and stopping the update checks...

 

An alternative we have also used is Real Alternative codec for Windows Media player which then allows streaming of real player audio and video to be played.  And that is free too

 

When I spoke to the guys at Real about enterprise manager, it would have cost us around 10k but would then include real player too.  Enterprise manager allows you to run streaming servers and manage realplayer centrally.

 

Regards

Subject: Realplayer alternatives and Manager

 

Hi

Does any one use an alternative to Realplayer or use the Enterprise Edition and the associated manager.

If so could you let me what you are using and how you deploy it. As regards the Enterpise Manager how much have you had to pay for it if anything?

Thanks
