Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business. RealNetworks, Inc. and subsidiaries is a global provider of network-delivered digital media applications and services that make it easy to manage, play and share digital media. The Company also develops and markets software products and services that enable the creation, distribution and consumption of digital media, including audio and video. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (10-Q or Report), RealNetworks, Inc. and Subsidiaries is referred to as “RealNetworks”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”. "RealPlayer ® " and other trademarks of ours appearing in this report are our property. Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2017 . Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the 10-K). Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new revenue recognition guidance, which was subsequently updated and amended in 2015 and 2016. The guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: the full retrospective method where the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, where the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We will adopt the requirements of the new standard effective January 1, 2018, and will use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect to the opening balance of retained earnings recognized as of the date of initial adoption. Our evaluation of the new standard has made significant progress, and we continue to monitor any authoritative and interpretive guidance issued by standard-setting bodies for impacts on our evaluations. Under the new standard, we currently expect the greatest impact in certain areas where we will be required to estimate usage which drives the underlying revenue. Under the current guidance, we do not recognize revenues until we achieve fixed and determinable status, which would typically be at a later date. We also expect an impact related to the licensing of our RealTimes and RealPlayer products. As we transition to the new revenue standard, we will recognize the revenue predominantly at the time of delivery rather than over the contract period. Revenue recognition for all other product lines is not expected to be significantly impacted. As a result of the new standard, based on currently executed contracts, we may be required to record a cumulative adjustment increasing our Retained Earnings on January 1, 2018. We expect that the new standard will not have a cash impact and will not affect the economics of the underlying customer contracts. We expect that our disclosures in our notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements related to revenue recognition will be significantly expanded under the new standard, specifically around the quantitative and qualitative information about our underlying performance obligations. Our assessment of impacts resulting from the new standard is substantially complete and we are in the process of finalizing our conclusions and evaluating the quantitative impact of these conclusions in both recognition and presentation in the related disclosures. We believe we are continuing to follow an appropriate timeline for proper recognition, presentation and disclosure upon adoption, including the related impacts to our internal controls. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases by lessees. A major change in the new guidance is that lessees will be required to present right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. We will be evaluating the effect that the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting for us on January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our statement of cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests beginning on December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We will be evaluating the impact of the guidance, but do not currently expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements to be implemented that are of significance or potential significance to RealNetworks.

Included in the expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was stock compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 related to our 2016 and 2015 incentive bonuses paid in fully vested restricted stock units, which were authorized and granted in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 , $3.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock awards. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

Rhapsody Joint Venture

Rhapsody Joint Venture	9 Months Ended

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Rhapsody Joint Venture	Note 4 Rhapsody Joint Venture As of September 30, 2017 we owned approximately 42% of the issued and outstanding stock of Rhapsody and account for our investment using the equity method of accounting. Rhapsody was initially formed in 2007 as a joint venture between RealNetworks and MTV Networks, a division of Viacom International Inc. (MTVN), to own and operate a business-to-consumer digital audio music service known as Rhapsody. Following certain restructuring transactions effective March 31, 2010, we began accounting for our investment in Rhapsody using the equity method of accounting. As part of the 2010 restructuring transactions, RealNetworks contributed $18.0 million in cash, the Rhapsody brand and certain other assets, including content licenses, in exchange for shares of convertible preferred stock of Rhapsody, carrying a $10.0 million preference upon certain liquidation events. We recorded our share of losses of Rhapsody of $0.0 million and $1.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 ; and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Because of the $10.0 million liquidation preference on the preferred stock we hold in Rhapsody, under the equity method of accounting we did not record any share of Rhapsody losses that would reduce our carrying value of Rhapsody, which is impacted by Rhapsody equity transactions, below $10.0 million , until Rhapsody's book value was reduced below $10.0 million . This occurred in the first quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2017 , the carrying value of our Rhapsody equity investment was zero , as we do not have further commitment to provide future support to Rhapsody. Unless we commit to provide future financial support to Rhapsody, we do not record our share of Rhapsody losses that would reduce our carrying value of Rhapsody below zero, and instead we track those suspended losses separately. In December 2016, RealNetworks entered into an agreement to loan up to $5 million to Rhapsody for general operating purposes, as did the other large owner of Rhapsody, Columbus Nova. In 2016, $3.5 million of the loan was made by each lender. In January 2017, the remaining $1.5 million commitment was funded by each lender. The loan is subordinate to all existing loans, and bears an interest a rate of 10% per annum, which accretes into the outstanding principal balance and will be due at the December 7, 2017 maturity date. Under the terms of the loan agreement between RealNetworks and Rhapsody, a default by Rhapsody under its agreements with other third party lenders that would entitle such parties to accelerate repayments with an aggregate value in excess of $1 million , would constitute a cross default of the RealNetworks and Columbus Nova loans. In that case, RealNetworks and Columbus Nova could elect to declare all outstanding obligations owed to us by Rhapsody to become immediately due and payable. We recognized previously suspended losses up to the amount of the commitment at the time of signing the agreement in the fourth quarter of 2016, and, consequently, we do not have a receivable recorded related to this loan. As of the date of this report, we have no further commitments for additional fundings to Rhapsody. In late March 2017, we were notified that Rhapsody would likely be in default of existing agreements with its third party lenders, which was confirmed in April 2017. We believe this default constitutes a cross default under the loan agreements between Rhapsody and RealNetworks and Rhapsody and Columbus Nova. The default with the third party lenders relates to Rhapsody missing a quarterly revenue target that included assumptions regarding the launch of a new product which Rhapsody subsequently determined not to launch, thus contributing to a revenue shortfall. In June 2017, Rhapsody obtained forbearance agreements from the third party lenders, pursuant to which (in general terms) the lenders agreed to forbear from exercising any remedies they have against Rhapsody relating to defaults existing at June 30, 2017. In October 2017, Rhapsody entered into a financing agreement with a new third party, under which Rhapsody's wholly owned subsidiary will factor certain receivable in return for cash advances. Rhapsody applied the initial cash proceeds from this arrangement to pay in full and terminate all outstanding term loans with third party lenders and a portion of the amounts outstanding under a revolving credit facility. The forbearance agreement entered into in June 2017 (as discussed above) has been further extended with the remaining third party lender through November 30, 2017, or until a new default event, whichever may occur first. As of the date of our filing, to our knowledge, Rhapsody has not incurred any such default events; and RealNetworks and Columbus Nova have not elected to declare all amounts outstanding under our loan agreements to be immediately due and payable. Summarized financial information for Rhapsody, which represents 100% of their financial information, is as follows (in thousands): Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net revenue $ 42,816 $ 54,306 $ 134,414 $ 160,269 Gross profit 7,245 15,195 19,927 29,288 Net income (loss) (627 ) 1,632 (13,960 ) (11,421 )

Fair Value Measurements as of Amortized Cost as of September 30, 2017 September 30, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 27,254 $ — $ — $ 27,254 $ 27,254 Money market funds 16,843 — — 16,843 16,843 Corporate notes and bonds — 1,500 — 1,500 1,500 Total cash and cash equivalents 44,097 1,500 — 45,597 45,597 Short-term investments: Corporate notes and bonds — 13,482 — 13,482 13,478 Total short-term investments — 13,482 — 13,482 13,478 Restricted cash equivalents and investments — 2,400 — 2,400 2,400 Warrants issued by Rhapsody (included in Other assets) — — 1,140 1,140 — Total $ 44,097 $ 17,382 $ 1,140 $ 62,619 $ 61,475 Fair Value Measurements as of Amortized Cost as of December 31, 2016 December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents: Cash $ 32,585 $ — $ — $ 32,585 $ 32,585 Money market funds 136 — — 136 136 Corporate notes and bonds — 1,000 — 1,000 1,000 Total cash and cash equivalents 32,721 1,000 — 33,721 33,721 Short-term investments: Corporate notes and bonds — 43,331 — 43,331 43,343 Total short-term investments — 43,331 — 43,331 43,343 Restricted cash equivalents and investments — 2,700 — 2,700 2,700 Warrant issued by Rhapsody (included in Other assets) — — 773 773 — Total $ 32,721 $ 47,031 $ 773 $ 80,525 $ 79,764 Restricted cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 relate to cash pledged as collateral against letters of credit in connection with lease agreements. Realized gains or losses on sales of short-term investment securities for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were not significant. Gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses on short-term investment securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were also not significant. Investments with remaining contractual maturities of five years or less are classified as short-term because the investments are marketable and highly liquid, and we have the ability to utilize them for current operations. Contractual maturities of short-term investments as of September 30, 2017 (in thousands): Estimated Fair Value Within one year $ 11,969 Between one year and five years 1,513 Total short-term investments $ 13,482 In February 2015, Rhapsody issued warrants to purchase Rhapsody common shares to each of RealNetworks and Rhapsody's one other large stockholder, Columbus Nova. The warrants were issued as compensation for past services provided by RealNetworks and Columbus Nova, and both warrants covered the same number of underlying shares. The exercise price of the warrants was equal to the fair value of the underlying shares on the issuance date, and we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrant, using an expected term of 5 years and expected volatility of 55% . On the date of issuance, we recognized and recorded the $1.2 million fair value of the warrant issued to RealNetworks within Other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and as an expense reduction within General and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The warrants are free-standing derivatives and as such their fair value is determined each quarter using updated inputs in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the decrease in the fair value of the warrants was $0.1 million . In February 2017, Rhapsody issued additional warrants to purchase Rhapsody common shares to both RealNetworks and Columbus Nova. Consistent with the warrants issued in 2015, the 2017 warrants were issued as compensation for past services provided by RealNetworks and Columbus Nova, and both warrants covered the same number of underlying shares. The exercise price of the warrants exceeded the fair value of the underlying shares on the issuance date, and we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of the warrant, using an expected term of 5 years and expected volatility of 55% , resulting in a recognized fair value of $0.5 million in Other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and as an expense reduction within general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the decrease in the fair value of the warrants was insignificant. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis, using Level 3 inputs. These instruments are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , we did not record any impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. See Note 11 , Lease Exit and Related Charges , for a discussion of the losses related to reductions in the use of RealNetworks' office space, which were recorded at the estimated fair value of remaining lease obligations, less expected sub-lease income.

Lease Exit and Related Charges	Note 11 Lease Exit and Related Charges As a result of the reduction in use of RealNetworks' office space, lease exit and related charges have been recognized representing rent and contractual operating expenses over the remaining life of the leases, including estimates of sublease income expected to be received. We continue to regularly evaluate the market for office space. If the market for such space changes further in future periods, we may have to revise our estimates which may result in future adjustments to expense for excess office facilities.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Note 14 Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts): Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net income (loss) $ (4,334 ) $ (3,056 ) $ (17,144 ) $ (26,574 ) Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute basic EPS 37,200 36,805 37,112 36,693 Dilutive effect of stock based awards — — — — Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS 37,200 36,805 37,112 36,693 Basic EPS $ (0.12 ) $ (0.08 ) $ (0.46 ) $ (0.72 ) Diluted EPS $ (0.12 ) $ (0.08 ) $ (0.46 ) $ (0.72 ) During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , 5.3 million and 5.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, of potentially issuable shares from stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because of their antidilutive effect.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies From time to time we are and may be subject to legal proceedings, governmental investigations and claims in the ordinary course of business, including employment claims, contract-related claims, and claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Although we believe that resolving such claims, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our business or financial condition, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could force us to expend significant financial and managerial resources. In addition, given the broad distribution of some of our consumer products, any individual claim related to those products could give rise to liabilities that may be material to us. In the event of a determination adverse to us, we may incur substantial monetary liability, and/or be required to change our business practices. Either of these could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Guarantees	Note 16 Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, RealNetworks is subject to potential obligations for standard warranty and indemnification provisions that are contained within many of our customer license and service agreements. Our warranty provisions are consistent with those prevalent in our industry, and we do not have a history of incurring losses on warranties; therefore, we do not maintain accruals for warranty-related obligations. With regard to indemnification provisions, nearly all of our carrier contracts obligate us to indemnify our carrier customers for certain liabilities that may be incurred by them. We have received in the past, and may receive in the future, claims for indemnification from some of our carrier customers. In relation to certain patents and other technology assets we sold to Intel in the second quarter of 2012, we have specific obligations to indemnify Intel for breaches of the representations and warranties that we made and covenants that we agreed to in the asset purchase agreement for certain potential future intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against Intel. The amount of any potential liabilities related to our indemnification obligations to Intel will not be determined until a claim has been made, but we are obligated to indemnify Intel up to the amount of the gross purchase price that we received in the sale.

Remaining expenses, which are not directly attributable to supporting the business, are reported as corporate items. Also reported in our corporate segment are restructuring charges, lease exit and related charges, as well as stock compensation charges.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business. RealNetworks, Inc. and subsidiaries is a global provider of network-delivered digital media applications and services that make it easy to manage, play and share digital media. The Company also develops and markets software products and services that enable the creation, distribution and consumption of digital media, including audio and video. Inherent in our business are various risks and uncertainties, including a limited history of certain of our product and service offerings. RealNetworks' success will depend on the acceptance of our technology, products and services and the ability to generate related revenue. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (10-Q or Report), RealNetworks, Inc. and Subsidiaries is referred to as “RealNetworks”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”. "RealPlayer ® " and other trademarks of ours appearing in this report are our property.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented. Operating results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2017 . Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the 10-K).
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments	We manage our business and report revenue and operating income (loss) in three segments: (1) Consumer Media, which includes our PC-based RealPlayer products, including RealPlayer Plus and related products and intellectual property licensing; (2) Mobile Services, which includes our SaaS services of our low-margin music on demand product, ringback tones, intercarrier messaging services, and our RealTimes ® product; and (3) Games, which includes all our games-related businesses, including sales of mobile games, sales of games licenses, online games subscription services, advertising on games sites and social network sites, and microtransactions from online games.
