I don't know anything about RealTV, just being a famewhore and getting my name on every thread!

Hmmm. I'm not able to take screencaps or record anything in RealTV.

Ladytex, I haven't, but that's a good idea. Thanks!

Hamsterlady, Maybe I have a newer version. There's a little camera icon at the top to take screen caps. Here's the documentation that showed me how to record audio.

This is the first time I've tried using anything other than the regular RealPlayer that was automatically installed when I buy the Super Pass.

When I click on the camera icon, it gives me an error message shuts down RealTV. I have the newest version.

video recording can't be done with RealTV - it's an "upcoming feature"

Hamsterlady, I have no idea why it would do that (I'm far from the expert, though, obviously).

Tvwatcher, That explains it and thanks. Maybe I'll go with the BB Reloader instead.

HL, email your error msg to the contact. That's all I can suggest. I don't get that error when I screen cap or click on the camera, sorry.

If your computer is set to accept cookies from Real, then you won't have to log into superpass everyday. You should only have to open realtv, pick your camera and go ...

Uhhh...Ladytex. Maybe I did not figure it out. I looked in my RealPlayer and the cookies are enabled. Do I also have to enable them elsewhere too?

That should be the only place you have to enable them, unless of course you have a program that automatically deletes cookies and temp files ...

If I do, it is unbeknown to me. Unless it is a an automatic function of Norton.

Not on the shortcut of SuperPass that I have saved on my Desktop. But when going to the Realtv shortcut I have to;

1) Click on the shortcut
2) Go to "About" drop down menu, click Login. RealPlayer opens and asks me for my email and password.
3) Then I have to drag the corner of player to make it larger because it opens with only the toolbar showing.
4) Then I have to go under file and click on camera I want to see.

Seems like a lot! I don't have to do all that with my RealPlayer.

Does RealTV auto refresh or does it time out like real player?

I downloaded the Real TV and for some reason I can't figure out what's all that different about it now. I thought the feeds could be set so they were vertical? Maybe I just haven't played around with it enough, but I'm wondering what the benefits are besides screen caps? Also, is there a way to get rid of the menu below the feeds? Thanks.

Watching2- did you mean RealPlayer and not RealTv? I have not used RealTv yet, but RealPlayer has an icon that looks like a World Globe that you can click on to "Hide Browser" or you can go in to Tools/Preferences/General and on the right under RealPlayer option choose from drop down menu "Player only- no media browser"

If you prefer all in one row, you can play with the settings under playlist. If you look under the multifeed, it gives the coordinates for each feed. You can change those to change the positions of the feeds. That's what sets it up. Long time ago, someone posted the coordinates to do that, but I never recorded them.

At the bottom of the menu on the right hand corner, there is a little arrow. Click on that arrow and the menu below the feeds disappears.

I have not had the problem with the feeds timing out. The urls posted usually are the no time out feeds.

Since, I've not had to login on realtv. Does it not work if you don't log in?

Watching...if you are talking about real TV look at the bottom next to the little speaker mute icon and click the black "up arrow" to hide the playlist info. I use real tv for screen caps mainly, but if you are on broadband, you can have all four individual feeds playing at once and they all have their own volume controls so you don't have to switch from one feed to another, you can just mute which ones you don't want to hear. I think, and someone correct me if I am wrong, you can set the timer to record feeds while you are away.

Now see...I don't get any icons "at the bottom next to the little speaker mute icon and click the black "up arrow" to hide the playlist info" Dogrivergirl is describing.

I get a black screen that says Realplayer in the middle. File, View, About on top left and 5 icons below it (stop, pause camera etc.)

Is that what everyone else gets? If I go to Realplayer I get the BB8 screen.

you will get the bb8 screen if you go to view and select a feed to view. It does not come up automatically.

OK I found the multi feed but it is an inch big and I can't find the drop down menu you showed to have the volume slider appear.

since, if this is the screen you have, look at the little arrow thing in the bottom right hand corner, if you click that, you'll get the menu. You can resize the feeds by grabbing a corner of the feed screen and dragging it out.
