Preferences: Automatic Services

The following services run at all times while your RealOne Player is running, periodically checking that everything is up to date.  In addition, they can be selected to run in the background even when RealOne Player is not running. Select (with check mark) only those services you want active when RealOne Player is not operating. Services that require information from the Internet will be deferred until the next time you are logged onto the Internet. (These Services will not initiate an Internet connection.)

Services:

Periodically check for software updates. Checks with RealNetworks, via the Internet, to see if there are any current updates for your Player.  If an update is available, a message is sent, notifying you. In some cases, critical updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. (See AutoUpdate Preferences for more information.)

Periodically check for new messages. Checks via the Internet to see if there are any new messages for you from the RealOne Message Service. If new messages are present, an alert is displayed and the new messages are added to your Message Center. How often these checks are performed is set in the Message Center (Options>Delivery Preferences)

Maintain my choices set in Media Types preferences. Checks periodically to see that the Media Type Player preferences (which file types will use RealOne Player) have not been changed by other software, and restores the preferences if necessary.

Check for newly downloaded media to add to My Library. Checks your default music download folder for media files that have not been added to My Library, and creates a clip for each new file. The new clips are also added to the Downloads playlist.
