- QUESTION:
- Since you do not have the RealServer software running on your servers. Will we be able to stream RealMedia files?
ANSWER: - Yes, you will be able to stream RealMedia files. You will need to create a .ram file that calls your real audio/video file. The .ram file is a text file with an absolute URL. This URL will need to be:
http://full.domain.name/filename.rm
HTTP streaming is a method of serving RealMedia audio and video files on the Internet without the added requirements and expense of server-side streaming software. We support HTTP streaming of RealMedia content. To setup your RealMedia files via HTTP streaming follow these steps:
Upload your RealMedia audio/video files (.ra, .ram, .rm or .rpm files) to your account
Create a metafile (*.ram file) by opening a plan text editor such as Windows Notepad and typing the URL to one of your RealMedia files.
Example:
http://yourdomain.com/somefolder/somefile.ra
Save the file using the file type extension .ram
Example:
somefile.ram
Upload your .ram file to the same directory on your account to which you plan on uploading your HTML document(s) from which you plan on linking your RealMedia files.
Within your HTML document reference the metafile in a hyperlink.
Examples:
somefile.ram
- or -
http://yourdomain.com/somefolder/somefile.ram
When a user clicks on the link, the streaming file(s) begin to download. RealPlayer should begin playing the file almost immediately, it doesn't need to wait for the entire file to download.
