i was wanting to stream live ram on the net. where could i get the CGI SCRIPT.

I might suggest using windows media instead of real media, as real is starting to/has been doing some things that make microsoft look like the good guys of the computing world.

if you want real reasons, the windows media server is free, as is the encoder (real networks charges fees in the thousands for anything other than very minimal and somewhat useless functionality). also, anyone with windows media player (read anyone with windows) can get your streams, and other players can use them too. you won't have to struggle to avoid being tricked into recieving spam, as you do with realone player, and a simple href tag will open your stream, no script required. the link, for example, might look like:

I have real producer...and know how to use it...and was hoping to find an answer in this thread as to how to get it to work...my problem is that the rmp file that sends the request to server(my computer) is working for me because the link is on my computer...but it's not working for others...because it is directing to their computer where that file would be if they were on my computer...how do I get it to direct to my computer from theirs...I've tried the long link http://mysite.com/C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs and that doesn't work and I've tried just putting the name of the rm...doesn't work...I had done it about 2 years ago but forgot how to direct to my computer and not the other person...PLEASE someone help...I want it to stream...don't want them to click on a link to make it play...thank you :)

ok, it's 2 in the morning, and i'm about to go to sleep.

create your real file *.rm or *.ra

put into your site folder what ever it is. maybe c:\progra....\abys...\htdocs...

now assume the web server is running, try to open it in browser. if it ask you to download, then go to your web server configuration to set rm, ra and ram mime type as ... i cannot remember the exact spelling but i'm sure in real producer help file it was written somewhere.

then restart the server, try again, u should get that file played automatically by real player. if it still as you to download, your mime type configuration is wrong.

if it can be play automatically, now create another file (a meta file) which content only ONE line, which is the url of your rm or ra file and name it as whatever.ram

remember, the meta file is the URL of the file (http://server.com/some_path/some_media_file.rm) not the location (c:\some_folder\some_media_file.rm)

now link the meta file in your html. done.

ok, ask me again tomorrow, i need to sleep now. good night.
