One thing about rvplayer I don't like very much. In the "connection" menu you can see the following (enabled by default): RealPlayer maintains statistics on connection quality. These statistics help content providers improve the quality of their service. This setting controls whether statistics are sent to the content provider. There is no mention of the above in the documentation or the license (except in rvplayer.ad, but that's not documentation), nor I have checked (using tcpdump) which kind of information is sent back. To me, leaving this option on by default without mentioning it is at least unpolite. Your mileage may vary.
