Hi Alisson,

At the present time it only works with WinPCap or the network adapter.  It does not work with what you wish. I don't 
know what the developer has planned for future versions but I have passed on your concerns.

Best Regards,

Good morning Cheryl.

But taking into account what I said - WinPCap be outdated - could I use the NPCap instead? Do you intend to migrate to 
a new network traffic detector option?

Or at the moment is RMC only available for use with WinPCap?

Have a nice day.

Alisson

Hi Alisson,

At the present time it works with WinPCap or the network adapter. You can choose which one you want to use under 
settings-Internet downloads.  Thanks.

Good afternoon Applian support.

Since I discovered Replay Media Catcher you use WinPCap as a bridge for network channel detection and recording.

But as the RMC evolved, WinPCap stopped. Although version 4.1.3 is still in use, it is no longer officially supported, 
it has been abandoned. But you continue to opt for the installation of this version, up to the default of WinPCap 
instead of the Applian Network Monitor.

By working with WinPCap all these years you should know that its creators work with another program, NPCap, focused on 
the present time and systems like Windows 10.

https://nmap.org/npcap/

In comparison of the programs what absurdly catches the attention is that WinPCap stopped having support 6 years ago... 
But it is still used. Among other features and security updates that might make the NPCap better than WinPCap and maybe 
better to work with RMC.

https://nmap.org/npcap/vs-winpcap.html

I would like to know, before a clean new installation of RMC, whether I should continue installing WinPCap or I could 
install NPCap.

If RCM is not yet compatible with it, I suggest you study this option or another one for the future since the type of 
streaming is changing, some can no longer be detected by the RCM / WinPCap detector and this would make the program 
obsolete.

Thank you for your attention and I look forward to hearing from you.
