Hello,
I have installed Real Player SP and have enabled the software to show the download tab when the video comes on the screen (i.e. utube), but when I start the video and that tab should appear nothing appears. If I right click on the video and try to use the download video tab there, it tells my that the file is not valid todownload and to get real player SP which I alredy have? Very frustrating.
I have google chrome. I searched on how to use the real player on chrome. If you start google chrome and go to youtube and try and download a video and nothing comes up. go to chrome://plugins. click on the +sign on the right side and on the left the very first line should say Flash Player, you will click disable. Close chrome completely and then restart it
I had the sameee problem, and after reading everyone's
I kind of worked it out by 'accident' you could say;
If you open up your realplayer on
your computer, then you kno along the top where
there is all the tabs eg, "Now Playing", go along to
the "web" tab. From there search youtube and then
the song you want, and the "Download to Realplayer"
button will automatically appear !
I had the same problem and this solved it for me perfectly. I had no idea that you could browse through the RealPlayerSP. The download button works again doing it this way. Thank you to whoever you are that gave these instructions!
ALERT (6/29/10): We've become aware that many customers are experiencing a problem with downloading videos. The problem seems to be specific to Firefox and Chrome due to recent updates they've pushed out. We are working as hard as we can to rectify this problem for you. The RealPlayer team is currently testing fixes and we're hoping to have an update out within a week.
I have a similar problem with my Vipre firewall. The "Download this Video" tab did not appear. However, when I disabled my firewall and rebooted, the tab appeared. I cannot figure out how to specifically add this to my firewall exceptions list, as I do not know the specific path being blocked.
As RealPlayer noted in their ALERT, YouTube has recently added several 'features' that block the RP upload feature. I am sure they can come up with a patch. If I want to download a video, I will use IE which still works with RealPlayer. I would be reluctant to disable a firewall at this time. I will just wait.
you will have to go back to FF 3.6.3 and it will work again.
Find a site where you can download 3.6.3 firefox save it somewhere and then uninstall3.6.4 . All your bookmarks and add ons are still there and will be picked up by 3.6.3.
I have just done it and all is well.

I have the same problem. Remember when they updated? I think that they disallowed the use of downloading videos as people were getting free music videos, movies, TV shows and so on to put onto their I pod/mp4 player.
I think your realplayer' version is not compatible with your web browser. As I know the latest version of realplayer works on with Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4.0, I'm not sure about IE. Hope this's helpful for your problem.
(sorry for bad english)
Yeah, from the past two days, the "Download this Video" tab doesn't work with Mozilla Firefox. Same problem with Google Chrome. But it works fine with Internet Explorer. Try IE dude, your problem is solved. It is frustrating I know but don't blame it on real player, blame it on FF for releasing an update which doesn't support RP.
The problem is YouTube not FF, or Chrome. Did you read the RealPlayer Alert that I posted above? And yes it does work in IE but I'd rather have it work on all browsers...
Good question David. According the RealPlayer they have the problem fixed for some areas of the planet but not all. Evidently YouTube USA and elsewhere is still blocking RP for the Chrome browser. As of this morning Jul 3, Chrome will not accept downloads to RP . Evidently IE is not sensitive to YouTube updates...so RP still works in IE, worldwide. I know...it's weird.
RP I suppose continues to test with Chrome and fix the problem for the US.
Yes it's working on internet explorer verysion 8 but not on google chrome & mozilla firefox, I try it today it works with internet explo-8 try now cheers........
I have real player basic I can play dvds and music from other forms but cannot play music from any cd that I have. this is the message that comes up on screen.
Your CD may be dirty, or RealPlayer may not be properly configured to play CDs digitally.
I have Multiple sclerosis and find this site easier to handle, please help
Hi, try to see if you have the latest version of realplayer. Sometimew when the button doesn't show up or it isn't there, it probably means that the button is disabled. So go to tools and click on preferences..then click on downloading and recording, from there you should then click on either the button that says 'on page load for __ seconds, or only mouse-over, or don't show(downlad is only accessible from right-click.' I would rather use the 'only mouse-over' button, but it's up to you. After that you also go to tools again and click on manage add-ons, and check to see if the download button is enabled. If it is disabled then click on the button that says 'enable.' Hope I helped.
HOWEVER
you can download a video by going to the uploaders channel, finding the video and downloading it from there
BUT
you do get the random URL code in the videos name and in the source.
you have to update Realplayer...go to their site and download the update for your player. then make sure your Realplayer is set to Record Videos. Chrome and Real should work then......
I just fixed my Firefox. In the address bar type about:config . In the Filter bar type dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll . Change the value to false but selecting it and that is it!!!
Good luck
Forget about Realplayer it is no longer working. Some agreement with the idiots at Youtube. Download Orbit Downloader from www.downloads.com
It is spyware free and it downloads Soooooo fast. It is the best. Never, I mean never go back to realplayer.
Sorry Realplayer people.
