I tried to find real player for Macs, but couldn't. Is there a better/newer player for .ram files?
iMac 27", macOS 10.13
Why can't I play any .rm or .ram files?
The extensions .rm and .ram apply to multimedia container formats used by RealMedia for streaming content over the Internet. All versions of our PC desktop player (RealPlayer, RealPlayer Cloud, and RealTimes) should be able to play these files. You should also be able to play .rm files on a Mac.
To play .rm files on an Android device, iPhone, or iPad, you will first need to upload the file to your RealCloud using either the PC desktop version or the web version of RealTimes (https://realtimes.real.com).
Files with a .ram extension cannot be played on a Mac, Android, or iOS device and cannot be uploaded to RealCloud, as these files are actually instructions for playing the file from a web source.

But Barney's advice might work anyway...

FWIW, both VLC and IINA will play your .rm files. As has been explained, .ram files are just links to videos online.

Did you look at a .ram file in a Text Editor... they can't be played they point to a Website with a .ra file I believe, plat .ra files in VLC Player. :)
