Hello,

Is there a way to use the realserver 8 who i have installed on a raq4.
to play the rm files, all that i try will make the file load to my own
computer instead of just playing the file in the browser, or am i wrong
must the file always be downloaded to the users computer

Hello Tikklik,

For your RealServer to stream your music files over the internet, you
first need to create a mount point on the RealServer (use the RealServer
admin program to do this) for your domain with the music files to use.
The "mount" point consists of simply the full pathway to the domain
where the music files are. 

After that, you need to code the links on the html page to the music
correctly: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1 -- a direct link to the music that will prompt a viewer's
realplayer to popup and play the music, i.e.,

rtsp://yourdomain.com/your-directory/your-music-filename.rm 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2:

Or, you can make a link on your html page to a ".ram" file, i.e.,

http://yourdomain.com/your-directory/your-ram-file.ram

To make the "ram" file, just open a text editor and type in the URL of
the music file, i.e.,

rtsp://yourdomain.com/your-directory/your-music-filename.rm

and save the file as filename.ram -- Put both the .rm media file and the
text .ram file on the yourdomain.com server in the correct directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you, as a user, have your RealServer's permission, you can also use
the RealServer to broadcast video and audio live. To do this, you need
encoder software like RealProducer, which you then set up with correct
connection data. Then use, for the html page link to your live
broadcast, this type of link:

rtsp://your-realserver-domain-name.com/encoder/filename.rm

Even though there's no actual audio or video file or filename because
you're broadcasting live, RealServer requires a filename for a live
broadcast, which you'll define when you use Real Producer for the
broadcast. Use the same file name in your html page link. (You can also
tell RealServer to archive your live broadcast if you wish. To do so,
use the RealServer admin program.
