Re: [cobalt-users] Real Server

["Mike Fritsch" <mfritsch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heres how our users do it:


1. First, copy your encoded RealAudio and RealVideo files (files with the
.rm and .ra extensions) to your Virtual Server using FTP. Be sure to FTP
these files in Binary mode.

2. Second, create a metafile (ASCII text file) containing a RealAudio or
RealVideo URL. For example, the contents of your file should be in the
following form:

http://www.domain.com/call.ra

3. Third, save the above metafile as a text file with the .ram extension.

For example: "example.ram"

Then FTP this file to your virtual server in ASCII mode (because it is a
text file).

4. Fourth, in your HTML document, reference the metafile in a hyperlink.

5. Last, when a user clicks on the link, the audio/video file(s) begin to
download. The RealPlayer begins playing after a few seconds; it does not
need to wait for the entire file to be downloaded.




Hope this helps.......

Mike
