Hey - I have a question about RealTV. For the past 2 seasons, I cannot get the chat to work on RealOne during BB. When you call RealOne, you get some guy in a foreign country who doesn't understand the problem. I have my internet through Starband, which is a satellite feed. I'm wondering 1) is there chat with RealTV, and 2) do you think it would work with my satellite? I used to get into the chat rooms and transcribe the live BB shows while they were on for the west-coast people so they know what was happening play-by-play and I couldn't do that last 2 years because the chat wouldn't work. I've tried everything the RealOne people suggested and nothing! <sigh> Another BB season with no chat???? HELP!! lol

Help, please! Any advise on getting a clearer picture on Real? I used it last year on my old MAC and got a really nice picture. On my current computer (PC with Windows XP), I am getting a really fuzzy picture even when I have only a postage-stamp size picture. Heaven forbid I try to enlarge the picture to 2X or go to quadcam. I have followed all Real instructions regarding bandwidth etc. but havent't seen any improvement in the picture. Anything I'm missing here? I really want to work out the kinks before live feeds begin. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm still not really knowledgeable on all the Windows stuff.

Rosie, I'd say Real TV is great for, well EXACTLY what Clio said, being able run four feeds at once with separate sound/mute.

This is especially useful when you are doing live feed posting!

Pip, welcome to TVCH!!

I have to admit I know nothing at all about chat at REAL/REALONE Real TV is just software that allows you to run real feeds differently after you have subbed to those. I don't think there is any chat associated with Real TV. Real TV is, again, just a way to see the feeds, but nothing to do with the shows that are on tv, cable, satellite.

We DO have chat here at TVCH and people from the east coast spoil the shows there, and we usually have a spoiler THREAD where Raenstorm and other east coasters spoil those of us in the west. We do this for BB and other major reality shows.

Nole, hopefully someone more techical than I can answer your question; perhaps there are some settings you can tweak to make the feeds clearer.

I don't see that we have a general technical thread in the BB6 area yet, but we do have a general technical thread HERE and people usually try hard to help!

And, now that I pretty much have Real TV working, I heard from Arbustur (the creator of Real TV) and I pass along to anyone interested the info he provided:


quote:

Hi, there is a new registry file with untested BB7 addresses. Let me know if it works.

Download link:
ftp://user:user1@142.103.58.102/release/bb7playlist.reg

Double click on the file to install, restart RealTV and erase the old BB6 playlist items.




----------

I haven't used ftp since my beginning (and only) webdesign class but if someone does try it, I'd love to hear how it works!

And a bit more info (running the ftp didn't work on my computer)

This is again from the creator of Real TV


quote:

You can paste the address into your browser and when prompted, save the file to your computer.
Or, you can go to the downloads page on the RealTV site and click on the links to download the
files.




And about the capture files:


quote:

You can double click on the path shown in the capture manager window and this will start file
explorer in that directory, so you can manage the files. The path to the screen captures can be
changed in the Setup tab under the Capture item.

I hope this hasn't been addressed anywhere...but I have a question. I used RealTV for a little bit last year as well as real player. Obviously RealTV with the sound options on the multicam is great, but is there a way to "rewind" like there is on realplayer??? That was my biggest problem with realtv... if I didn't catch what someone said I couldn't rewind to hear it better. Thanks in advance!! :-)

I don't think RealTV offers a rewind function.

OK, I tried to watch RealTV tonight to make sure all was running well and the picture on the multi-clip kept freezing up. It would freeze up my whole computer, but I could hear the music playing just fine. Any suggestions as to what I should do to be able to use it. I get a much clearer picture (when I get one) on RealTV. I have never used it before.

I can't seem to get the volume to work with RealTV. Guess I'll stick with Real Player.

Lesleyjack, if you are using the 350 feeds in the multiclip, try using the 150 feeds instead.

Maybe between the two of us Mpjr, we'll get a complete RealTv. I get the sound, no moving picture.

Naja, that works for me ... but I would think I'd get better "reception" with the 350 than the 150. I have a very high upload/download cable package. Glad for that tip but wonder why 150 works better? (at 350 I get sound and picture, but the picture doesn't "move) ... at 150 everything is peachy.

It may not be a bandwidth issue, but a CPU issue. It takes more computer power to player a higher quality video, as well as more bandwidth.

OK I hate to ask a dumb question but I don't know what the "record" button does on Real TV and when I click the red dot at the top of the screen it gives and error message saying the requested action cannot be performed. Also what do I do with the tab that says record below the camera views?

Mpjr:

The volume slider is only available in multi-clip mode. You should see a small vertical slider near the top left of the window. Above the slide is the mute button. They are small but visible.

Looking for help! I think I installed realtv but it doesn't seem to be working like last year. Picture quality doesn't seem the same. I think I may have done something wrong any help would be appreciated. I can't even save the url's in the playlist. Either that or I don't know how to do it. LOL! Any way I clicked on to the about tab and this is what it says about my realtv

realtv.exe- v1.9.0.16
rtvmclip.exe- missing
RTVAsyncRecAudio.exe- missing
ijl15.dll- missing
rtupdater.exe- missing
mscomctl.ocx- v6.1.95.45

When I try and take a capture I get this

runtime error '53'
file not found: ijl15.dll

And just overall the music is cutting in and out as well as the pic going freezing in and out

I know its alot but any help would be appreciated

Tk, did you download this year's version? YOu do seem to be missing parts of it, like it didn't install? Maybe try d/l install again, just to be sure. I have version numbers for each of those items.

I have a folder with a bunch of files and if re-install doesn't work, I can try emailing the files.. aol forces me to do an attach for each file instead of the whole folder but then it zips them together. My email is in my profile.

Not sure if the file assignment problem is because of the missing pieces, but that seems likely.

I just went to Setup Manager, expanded Capture, then Manual (later did same for Automatic, then right click on Dir (or the folder icon) and then click edit. This time it actually brought up a tree so I could choose an existing file! That was a first, so maybe it came from my attempt to d/l this year's version on this computer. Before I just pasted in the desired foolder name.

Thanks so much for posting the rtsp url's. For some reason these links are coming in much clearer than the real player "regular" sites I had saved to favorites. I can even read the words BIG BROTHER now! I am even more excited than before!! Thanks to those of you who actually know what you're doing advising those of us who are technology challenged.
