Hi,

i've checked, very nice job.

but, are you sure your demuxer extensions are working and complete?
the sample file you uploaded plays buggy, but i don't think it's a
codec problem, it shows the same kind of problems like some .asf files
using unimplemented (in demux_asf.c) subpacket types. (note, that asf and
real are somehow close, at least the asf v2 paper is co-authored by
microsoft & realmedia, and anyways the file formats has similar parts)

so, imho the codec is working, but there are problems with the demuxer.
did you compare packets byte-by-byte of mplayer demuxer and realplayer ?

also, i've tried on some other rv30 files (at mplayerhq.hu ftp samples/ dir)
and some of them crashed teh demuxer, others just show no pics at all or
very buggy flickering stuff.

or, maybe we should pass more per-packet info from the demuxer to the codec?

afaik the file format of .rm is public, at least Alex used it to write
demux_real.c afair. Alex, do you still have that file?
