OK, so I presume this is a bug report !

I'm not at all sure when this came in, but it's present in wolo's Frodo external players patched build from October, and up to the latest Gotham Nightlies ( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=175341 )

Take any Real Media file with the .rm extension, and attempt to play in XBMC using any external player, or internal software decoding. You will get this log entry (Or similar based upon the filename):

Code:

Now, rename the your file to have a rmvb extension-
Now works; Anyone able to verify this?
