By request, starting a thread where folks can help each other with questions about RealPlayer.

I am trying to remember a tip from last year. I could probably figure it out myself with trial and error. But anyway there was a tip for configuring Real Player for dial up users. The feeds never looked so good before i found this tip. I think it was going into Tools, Preferences, then changing the settings in Proxy & Network Transports. It was either unchecking everything or checking everything. Probably unchecking.

i'm such a BB geek. I wait until the HGs are in the house and set up the Equalizer as per who's voice is talking as some people are hard to hear clearly if speaking low.

If I already have RealPlayer (I use it all year long), do I need to do anything special to get the feeds this year? I can't remember what I did last year. Maybe I should look at the site. but thanks for any advice you can give. peace, delilah

DELIILAH, I keep real player year round the super pass. Make sure you have the super pass if you do click the big brother 8 link at the far right corner and follow those directions to get the icon on your desktop. Then when you are ready to watch the live feeds all you have to do is click the icon on your desk top.

I kept my Superpass (heaven knows why as I only use it for BB). I have a new laptop this year and I dowloaded RP. It said they had a new version. I successfully downloaded it. My next thing to do was to see if my Superpass was still good. It was. I am good to go with the LF's again. Yay.

so is there anything to view yet? I heard rumors that there were feed views, but not working? I signed up for SuperPass, and opened my desktop icon, but nothing there yet. Just making sure that I'm in the right place, and if not ... that I have time to "get it right" before the season starts.

The fastest link this year seems to be: rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb8_live&url=quad_256.rm You can replace quad by cam1, cam2, am3 or cam4. We seem to have lost the 350k feeds.

I used a program called Real TV for screencaps last year, but it got deleted from my computer. Does anyone know the program and where I can download it again? Thanks

The download site is down right now for Real TV. I've emailed the guy that created it, but he's not responded yet.

Won't shock me Dan - 350k seems like it was an upgrade from previous years - maybe they decided to scale it back.

Alrighty - I have 3 speeds that work. 256kbps, 150kbps (same as last year - the 'mid' speed) and 56kbps (again - same as last year). The individual cameras are showing the image above (with the correct camera #) and the Quad cam shows the other picture above. The music playing... hmmm.. soothing perhaps? Too soothing, I might fall asleep if I keep listening! And as I finish typing - the theme from "Chariots of Fire" comes over the speakers - so there you go.

If I am not mistaking, the trick to get the feed not to stop and have to reload every 30 minutes (or is it less?) is to add this: &rpcontexturl=_keep at the end of the url. So ultimately the complete url should be: rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb8_live&url=quad_256.rm&rpcontexturl=_keep
