RealNetworks Updates Helix, RealPlayer
Posted by Michael Larabel on April 17, 2008
With open-source solutions like Amarok, Rhythmbox, and mplayer, RealNetwork's RealPlayer (or its open-source Helix base) aren't the most popular media-playback solution on Linux. However, RealNetworks has announced the release of both Helix Player 11 and RealPlayer 11 for Linux. RealPlayer 11 now supports playing back Windows Media content (on Linux), an integrated play-list editor, and support for Perfect Play (Superbuffer). In addition, ALSA and surround sound playback are finally supported by this media player. The announcement and download links can be found from the Helix Community Website.
