I got the reloader to work using the following lines for each cam. I am on 56k, so I don't know if they work for cable/dsl. All you have to do is look at the properties of the shortcut if you've put the cams in your "favorite places" and modify them a little to take out the C:\Program Files-RealPlayer.exe part:

/startpos:00:00:00.0 http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3&url=bb3_1.smil&rpcontexturl=_keep

/startpos:00:00:00.0 http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3&url=bb3_2.smil&rpcontexturl=_keep

/startpos:00:00:00.0 http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3&url=bb3_3.smil&rpcontexturl=_keep

/startpos:00:00:00.0 http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3&url=bb3_4.smil&rpcontexturl=_keep

They work for me without problem. Just something else for you guys to try.

I just wanted to add that I've been running for six hours without error. I even did a complete shutdown to make sure.

Half..when I come to the clubhouse and use your links I get a beautifully sized Real picture with no junk chat room or media viewer. If I use ANY other way of accessing Real to get there quicker (eg camera shortcut on desktop or quick launch Real) I get all the junk. How can I change that, do you know, so I can get to your clean view a bit quicker??

By the way, thanks muchly for these great links.

Thanks Half, it really does work and I am on cable. I keep getting booted so this really helps!

You're welcome everyone- glad they work!!

Jan, I don't know what to tell you, other than making a shortcut with the lines above. Right click on them once and select copy shortcut. Then go to your desktop, right click once, and select paste shortcut. You can rename them like Cam 1, Cam 2, etc.

That's about all I can tell you. I experiment with things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, lol. I know enough to be helpful and dangerous at the same time!!!

Jan, I've listed some things in the "Helpful Tips" thread to get rid of the media browser and the chat stuff...

But what's really the best is:

1) download Reloader.exe from http://www.lawyerman.net/bb3/

2) once the little program has installed, hit SETUP, and copy/paste into the four lines at the start of this thread into the textboxes for the four camera feeds. Hit OK.

Use this little utility to switch back and forth between cameras and they'll never disconnect themselves, and you won't have to deal with that extra junk, either. You can keep the little program window showing on you desktop, or you can "hide" it as a tray icon, near the system time...

By the way, Half, those same addresses above work for Broadband, too...

Thanks for the feedback Adam, and thanks for explaining reloader.exe for Jan.

Thanks very much for this info Adam. Does reloader.exe use REal or replace Real? ie should I uninstall real first??

Why is everyone using a reloader? I changed my settings on Real Player to "continuous play". I've been away from the computer for awhile, just came back and my RP is still running with no interruptions. Maybe this is easier than downloading a program?

Does anyone have any reload tips for Mac?

Jan -- (Sorry for the delay -- I've been gone for the weekend...) Reloader simply starts up the RealOne program itself; it's just a utility...

Countrymeadow -- Some people report getting logged off all the time, while others don't. Perhaps "continuous play" in the preferences is all that's needed; don't know...

I *do* know that I have much better luck switching between cameras with the reloader tray icon (right click) than the onscreen-window buttons. In any case, Reloader is a tiny program and couldn't be any easier. Of course Your Mileage May Vary...

Hi,

Can someone help me out here? I am signed up for BB3 on RealOne Player and I have cable modem. I haven't had too much trouble. I open RealPlayer and click which takes me to the BB3 feeds. I cleaned out my cookies and cache and now it is looping like it is trying to connect to BB3 but it just keeps looping. Does anyone have any ideas? I hope I described my problem clear enough. :(

Thanks,
Jade

Jade... open up realplayer's media browser all by itself. It should recognize you as being a superpass holder, then connect once through their link. That SHOULD re-enable the cookie for you :)

Faery, How do I do that? Oh gawd I am embarrassed I should know this.

I got it figured out. Thank you sooooooo much Faery. Hey, the thing with the reloader....what does that do?

The reloader is a tiny program that when run will reload the feeds after a certain amount of time (default is 25 minutes) so they never time out.

Thanks Adam for your help. Reloader is a great little utility. I was often timing out but I have no problems now thanks to that program. The only problem I have is the constant FOTH'S!

LOL Jan, you almost sound like you're doing an infommercial for "The Reloader" !!

Country, I am using RealOne, and as far as I can tell, there is no option for continuous play. I vaguely remember that option in Real Player, but I don't see it with RealOne. If it's there, let me know where!!! :)

I have the reloader downloaded. I changed the urls in each of the feeds. It is still timing out (even though I've had continuous play checked since I got the thing up and running at the beginning of BB) and then it tells me that BB2 is over and CLICK HERE for....blah blah blah.

What did I do wrong?

Wcv63: Sorry, I don't use the reloader so I have not answers for you. Hopefully someone else will see your question and help out. Good luck.

Ok, for everyones enjoyment, I have been watching the live feed QuadCam this morning and, using a link I found in the LFP area, discovered that you can view any of the feeds (1, 2, 3, 4, or quad) WITHOUT the menu and WITHOUT TIMEOUTS For example:
QuadShot


Notice the timer says 1:41:42/Live


Open your Realplayer and select File - Open and copy one of the following lines into the dialog box:

start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=quad_200.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam1_200.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam2_200.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam3_200.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam4_200.rm

start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=quad_80.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam1_80.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam2_80.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam3_80.rm
start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3_live&url=cam4_80.rm


NOTE: Do NOT put http:// in front of these lines and Real won't try to open it's browser on you.
The lines ending in 80, of course are for 56K users, the 200's are for Broadband/DSL users.

Good luck and enjoy.
