I just discovered the new board setup.. nice, but I can't seem to find the technical help area. I do apologize in advance.

I have a new computer, hallelujah!! and it can handle more than one copy of bblive running. (watching BB VIP in Spain). However, I can't figure out how to get the sound from only one bblive feed window at a time. If I mute one, it mutes all... including any other programs that use sounds.

Is there a way to control the sound when running multiple copies of bblive?

Spain BB has 4 feeds, 1-4.. here is one link, just change the number 2.

Thank you, TNTaangela

Tntaangela: Hello and welcome back! I don't have any solution to offer for using BBLive. I did try loading the links into the program provided by Arbustur called 'RealTV' and was able to view all 4 feeds with mute control available on each feed. I located the download page for this program and unfortunately the download links no longer work.

If you happen to have a copy of this program, you would be able to have the control you need.

You could try visiting Arbustur's page where he describes the program and send an e-mail at the address listed there to see if you can arrange to obtain a copy of the program.

Arbustur's RealTV Player Page

If you don't have any luck with that, let me know and I'll see if it's possible to zip the program I have installed and e-mail it to you to try.

The only limitation to this working is that you must have one of the more current versions of Windows in order for the multi-feed to work (ie. Windows/XP or NT or 2000)

Hope this helps.

When I click on the box with the yellow smiley face above the posting section to access the clipart, it just takes back to the top of the entire page. It also won't let me change the color or font setting. Is it just a glitch happening today as I've been able to do it in the past week?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your speedy responses.. made my day. Yep, I saw the downloads were no longer there. I will e-mail and ask for them.

My new lappy has XP on it, whew.

Very kind of you to go to all the trouble to help me out. I sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks again!!!

Kappy: The clipart should open in a popup type window when you click on the so maybe you've got something running that is blocking popups?

Try This Link to see if you are able to open the clipart list in a new window.

I'm not sure what could be happening with the colors though. I can only suggest that you may need to clear your cache so the 'program' that loads to display the toolbar will reload properly and work for you again.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to be a pest, but is there some way to stop RealPlayer from taking over my sounds functions? If I mute RP, it won't allow me to get sounds from other programs.

When I mute Media Player, I can still get sounds from RP.

BTW... re bblive sound... I tried using multiple ini files in separate directories, but of course with RP taking command of my sounds, it didn't help any.

One more thing-- I hate RealPlayer

Tntaangela: As far as I know, both bblive & the RealTV players use RealPlayer as the underlying technology for viewing streams. The sound controls in RP directly control the 'wav' audio functions for your computer. I do not know of any way to prevent that from working as it does. If you disable the sound functions in the hardware setup of RealPlayer, I don't think it would work at all.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

Note: I tried to see if RealTV player would do what you need but it looks like the individual mute function may not work because the link is to a .smi file instead of a direct .rm file. You might want to mention this to Arbustur when you write to see if there is any solution to that too.

Draheid thanks for trying. You are just the bestest!!

I knew RP controls bblive... but must it control the sound function on everything else too... such as MediaPlayer... big sigh... just one more reason why I hate RP.

Thank you for checking RealTV Player. I e-mailed Arbuster earlier. No reply yet. I'll let you know what he says. I included the link to this page too.

Back to the drawing board. Thanks again.

Hmm... not sure I made myself clear on part of my earlier post. I can have RealPlayer and MediaPlayer both running with live feeds. I can mute MediaPlayer and still hear on RP. But if I mute RP, it also mutes MediaPlayer. Hope that made sense.

Thanks, Draheid! I do appreciae your help and do think it was something within my own computer which is for some reason not being a problem anymore. Kind of like when you've been sick and you finally go to the doctor only to have the cough or whatever stop the minute you get into the office? Either way, the clipart is back for me, yay!
