On the paid feeds, both feed 1 and 2 say "Camera 1" at the top and they both always have the same view and audio.

On the free feeds, Feed 1 says Camera 1, Feed 2 says Camera 2. They have different views. The audio on 2 is usually the feed 1 audio.

In other words your see more on the free feeds than you do on the pay feeds.

Goddess - Thank you thank you thank you.
(Although now that I'm watching the feeds, I'll get even LESS work done this summer....)

Goddess, I posted this question on the "Free Feed Information" yesterday, but that thread seems to have disappeared. I did what you said in that thread and now have the feeds. YEA!! However, I'm only gettting camera 1. Can someone tell me how to get switch to the other cameras. I've never used RealOne before, so I'm not at all familiar with it or how to use it. Only know how to do what you said in the original post.

BTW......thank you again for providing this information!

In case you don't have or don't like Real Player, try this player, it's much better!

Click Here --> BBLIVE Viewer

It was created during Big Brother 1, and I've kept it all this time. I just updated it to reflect the new BB3 settings.

Sandy - Just go into the location url and substitute a 2 for the 1 (after the word cam):

So Feed 1 is:

rtsp://rxnls-rbn-sea06.rbn.com/farm/*/encoder/cbs/cbs/bb3/secure/live/cam1_200.rm?rbnkey=FREE

Feed 2 is:

rtsp://rxnls-rbn-sea06.rbn.com/farm/*/encoder/cbs/cbs/bb3/secure/live/cam2_200.rm?rbnkey=FREE

Feed 3 is:

rtsp://rxnls-rbn-sea06.rbn.com/farm/*/encoder/cbs/cbs/bb3/secure/live/cam3_200.rm?rbnkey=FREE

and Feed 4 is:

rtsp://rxnls-rbn-sea06.rbn.com/farm/*/encoder/cbs/cbs/bb3/secure/live/cam4_200.rm?rbnkey=FREE

You're right - that is a way better player. Much clearer!

Thanks :-)

Sandy, In the URL that you either typed or copied, change the cam1 to cam2, 3, 4 and then hit enter.

Oh my, thank you for the BBLive link! I didn't know there was a working version this year. It works MUCH cleaner than RealOne and I don't get the connection errors at work that I got before (must use a different port or something).

One question. Is there a way to make it so that the BBlive window isn't always on top? I need to be able to have the feed running in the background. :)

Thanks again!

:(

Why can't I get the BBLive thing to work? Every time I try to connect I just get a message telling me it's unable to do so.

Boohoo!

And I'm even paying for the feeds

One question - I REALLY like using the BBLIVE - but for some reason, the Broadband settings seem to all be set on the same feed, while the 56K are all different - but not as clear.

How do I change the settings for the broadbands...?

Thanks muchly.

:-)

Ally, just go to the Feeds menu and choose Edit. For the broadband feeds (F6-F9), scroll over in the text box and change the cam number for 2, 3, and 4. They should look like this at the end of the text string: cam2_200.rm, cam3_200.rm, and cam4_200.rm

For some reason, they all got put in as cam1. :)

Kissymom, I'm in the same boat with ya! :) The BBLive viewer isn't working for me, but when I paste the free URL into the RealOne viewer, it works.

Kissysmom

Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 08:31 am EditMoveDeleteIP
yeah Shadow..

That works for me too, but I'm already paying for the stinkin feeds.

I just can't stand realplayer and would rather use the BBLive thing...it just won't connect.

Thanks Max. I'm a happy camper now.

I cannot get the bblive thingy to work either. It keeps telling me that it's not a valid win32 application.
It says that I am missing a required dll now.

I also get an error message for a missing .DLL component.

Suddenly my RealOne free player told me I needed the current update. Can't even get that, so I deleted RealOne entirely from my computer. I can't find the free download anymore. Can someone post a link for that?

Sorry to respond to my own post, but I finally figured it out, or got something that would work for me.

RealOne was telling me the version I had needed an update, but nothing I did would access the update. So I uninstalled it all. I found RealPlayer8 as a free download. Went through the whole download/configure deal. When I ran it, it said, oh, RealPlayer has been replaced by RealOne. Duh! Only then did it ask me if I wanted to download it. So it's back and working, but it was a pretty circuitous, convoluted way of doing it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to put that BBLive Viewer on the desktop?

Spunky

Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:13 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Tortie, I just can't paste the link into the location bar on Real One Player.

It simply does not work for me.

Spunky, I was having that problem too, so I downloaded the BBLive Viewer and I'm having no problems. Maybe give that a try?

And never mind about my question about putting the BBLive Viewer on the desktop. I got it figured out.

I've updated the link so all the broadband URLs are different, 1 2 3 4

It was all my fault.

Why it doesn't work for some people, I have no idea. I'm just sharing the program...don't know much about it.

You need vb6run.exe for the missing dll's, which now in the file archive above. Download it again and you'll see it.

It worked with the Viewer but all I get are them sleeping and it seems that it's quite slow, although I choose broadband since I have DSL.

I can't believe they're still sleeping (on all 4 feeds), it must be 12:30 pm there now. I wonder if the viewer is giving us a delayed feed.

It's only 10:53 out here Spunky.

The HG WERE up, but I think they are on a lockdown inside the bedrooms.

They really ARE all in bed

Ohmygod!!!! It works on Real as well. All you have to do "RIGHT CLICK" on your mouse and then you can paste the url under File then Open.
ta ta...

They're still sleeping!!!

Last night the "free feeds" on my home DSL were clear with no apparent dropped frames. Today on the T1 at work (I know, I shouldn't even be looking at work), the video and sound is bad, at all connections T1 and slower, with terrible pixelation and dropped frames. Maybe it's my connection here. I'm wondering how everyone elses' is?
