Title: How to import .rm files?
Post by: Osho on January 11, 2007, 10:52:15 pm: Hi,

I have some real media files with the extension .rm files in a folder. I tried importing this folder into MC12 library using Tools -> Import Folder and Selecting all types. I also unchecked the "Ignore files previously removed from library" but these files are not being imported no matter what I do.

I have shell integration enabled for MC12. Even if I right click on the folder or an individual file and select Media Center -> Import, the file is not being imported. Any ideas?

thanks,
Osho

The funny thing is that I could import them on one PC (where these .rm files are in a network drive mounted via NAS). But on the main PC where these files are locally, I can't!!!

On the PC that I could, I had real player installed before I attempted to import. On the main PC, I did not have real player installed when I first attempted to import these files. I installed real player on the main PC and then tried again to import but that didn't work.

RM files can have content that is compressed with various codecs. Real Player has several options and the used codecs have changed many times during the last ten years or so.

Supposedly installing the latest Real Player should take care of all possible RM codec types, but possibly that is not so simple.

Does MC accept the files if you simply drag them to the Playing Now list?
