I'm starting a thread for this so everyone won't forget to check out the new features Real has this season. If you just paste the feed links into your Real Player and never visit Real's SuperPass area, you'll miss Flashback. (Maybe after the season gets going this can be moved to the technical area.) Also, at SuperPass, you can view a quad cam bar across the bottom with a large feed window also visible. I think this is the link to paste into your player: http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb11&url=bb_hi.smil You can see it in action here: http://superpass.real.com/bigbrother/livefeeds
Also, the Flashback feature is very, very cool: http://superpass.real.com/bigbrother/flashback

I copied and pasted the links from Real and I made two screen caps. Is that what you mean? I honestly thought the features would be in Real Player and they kinda aren't, so I went to the SuperPass BB online area to investigate.

The Flashback feature appears to work for only BB10/last season and I suppose will be available for BB1 too. This is a great feature. The daytime often has little action going on so this would be an ideal time for flashing back.

I just got an email and BB Reloader added the flashback feature. What a wonderful invention. Doing a happy dance that I something to keep me occupied until tomorrow night.

So the flashback feature is to watch old feeds or programs?

Dipo - as of now, Flashback is live for last season of BB10 and there is a tab for BB11. Once the feeds for this season begin, it appears that the Flashback will work for this season or last. BB only, replaying of feeds only.

Yes, you can "flashback" to a day, time and feed. I am watching July 15, 2008 at 12am on feed 1. I have Angie, Steven and Brian in the backyard right now.

ok, Bonza.. you have opened a whole new can of worms for me... I JUST finished right clicking on my desktop and getting all 5 cams on real... I went to Superpass and nothing happens when I click on a camera... must I put the URL in again? where do I do this? when I click on Flashback, it does not look like your picture.. maybe I am just getting too old for this

Indybarb - my screen cap of Flashback is from Real's web page and the link to it is listed above. Beyond that, I'm a Mac-user and none of what you just said mirrors the steps I take with the feeds. Wish I could help but.... I'm not sure what viewer you're using and also, I don't right-click to make the desktop thingies. You may want to copy/paste your post in the "All Things Technical" thread, too. Hopefully someone in the know will be able to help you. It's here: ../10972/6703419.html"#E7EFEF"> | Indybarb

P.S. You're never too old for BB, the feeds, Twitter, etc!

Ok, I figured out the flashback feature, and I'm assuming that you have to be on the Superpass site to use it? I'm watching BB10 and its reminded me how much I loved Renny and hated Michelle! This is SO great! And I love the 4 little screens of the other feeds, but I think you only get that when using the Real Player, right? Bonza, I have a Mac also, and I'm so happy to know someone here who is technical enough to give me Mac advice if I need it!

Man, Michelle really has a mouth on her - dropping the 'F-bomb' every other word, in the midst of her 'baby talk'. Weird.

(Rose - *we* have to be on the SuperPass site to use it, but from what I've read today, there is a Flashback link for one of the alternate players. I try not to muddle my brain with more detail than that and focus on keeping the Mac running during BB. lol)

I was playing with this flashback feature earlier today. Know what else is cool? You can actually post links to any specific hour of the feeds, and then move the player slider to instantly be at any specific time during that hour. I can totally see how youtubes will be down this season. Just post a link to a certain hour, and then tell people to put the slider at 35 minutes (or wherever) when you are pointing out an event. It's so neat.

Rosem4243 - I just downloaded the new bbviewer and it also has the 4 little screens below. So far it's running really well.

I think I'm on technology overload - my friend wants me to get on Facebook, and I'm going to sign up on Twitter, then I'm dealing with the new realplayer features AND watching BB10. The pets are also in here bothering me for stuff, then I sneezed a really messy sneeze, then the phone rang.
