How to open RSML file?

The most common problem when using RealPlayer ML is that a specific RSML is not associated with the program. This causes the file RSML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSML file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install RealPlayer

Remember to download programs supporting RSML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of RealPlayer with RSML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RSML file still does not use the RealPlayer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RSML file with the RealPlayer program.

Step 3. Update RealPlayer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the RealPlayer program, it is possible that RealPlayer ML requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the RealNetworks, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSML file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The RSML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RSML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RSML file. However, remember that not every infected RSML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RSML file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RSML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use RealNetworks, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RSML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RSML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RSML file again. However, some background programs may block the RSML file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
