Internet Settings

Choose to enable (check) or disable (uncheck) any of the behaviors listed below.

Send connection-quality data... (Default is On) RealOne Player monitors your Internet connection during data transfer and sends connection information ( bit-rate , error rate, etc.) to the RealServer and content providers. Sharing this data helps content providers refine their methods and improve the quality of their content. If you do not wish to share your information with content providers, uncheck this box.

Send the RealOne Player GUID ... (Default is Off)  Check this setting (On) to access secured content. This allows a GUID to be sent to a RealServer, identifying you as someone who should have access. After viewing the secured content, you can turn the setting off again by unchecking this box. This preference is optional for non-secured content.

Send configuration info... (Default is On) RealNetworks can offer you more accurate solutions to problems you may encounter if it has configuration information about your RealOne Player. While this information is not required to receive error messages, it is recommended that you leave this option checked so that we can offer you the best possible assistance.

Enable Cookies (Default is On) By enabling Cookies you store information about previous media sessions; this information allows content providers to customize your experience and provide better connectivity.

Enable HTML Clip Info (Default is On) Allows the Clip Info to store and display HTML formatted information.

Only perform automatic services... (Default is Off) AutoUpdate and related behind-the-scenes services and communications with RealNetworks will be performed only when the RealOne Player is open and in use when this option is selected.
