Joni, can you tell me the name of the file that is missing? Also, what OS are you using?

I am using Windows xp and its mscomctl.ocx

Joni, it sounds like the OCX is not registered, which is really odd. To register it, goto Start->Run and type in the following: regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx Hopefully, that will solve the problem.

Ryn -- if you downloaded version 1.0.0 from the website, it is the version from last year. The beta-test version that (I believe??) is almost ready ... has a bunch of great new features, including the ability to turn on/off the volume on multiple feed(s).

Oh, it's reeeeeally snazzy!! :D

I can't believe you haven't tried this program before today, Ryn! It is, by far, the best (IMO) program for the BB feeds. I'd be quite upset if some strange phenomenon ever occurred where I wasn't able to use it anymore. lol

Is this RealTV easy to use for someone like me? someone like me is: I'm just computer literate - no expert. I don't even understand some of the stuff mentioned in some of the posts here. I have wanted to do some screen caps and stuff. I am also very very interested because I do like to keep 2 feeds on sometimes and would like to be able to individually adjust the volume on the open feeds.
Thank you

Ryn, send me an email (arbustur@yahoo.com) if you would like to try the new version. Right now the program is being beta tested and is almost ready for general release.

Arbuster, been trying out your beta and I can't take any kind of screen caps (much less getting to the point where I can control sounds on different feeds). I get an error saying I'm missing a dll file (ijl15.dll) and the feeds are very choppy. Just watching through this program is a lot worse than through Real. Basically all I can do is watch only and it's not good quality. There shouldn't be a prob with my RAM or my HD.

P4 2.4, 512 ram, 120G HD here

Edited to say: I'm on cable modem with XP

Joni,

You probably need the file first:

You can get it here:

mscomctl.ocx

Follow the instructions on the page.

Hamsterlady, what version did I send you? The ijl15.dll file should have been included in the zip file. Did you unzip all the files to the same directory? I don't know what to say about the choppy feeds because the RealTV Player uses the same components as the RealOne Player. Try UNchecking the "Use Optimized Video Display" setting in Setup->RealOne Player. That will usually solve several issues, such as blank screen captures and missing speaker icons while playing a multi-clip.

Joni, if you get the mscomctl.ocx problem worked out, you might be interested in the newer beta version. You can send me an email(~5 messages back), if you want to try it out.

Arbustur, you sent me 1.9.6 beta. I unzipped all the files to the same directory. And the box is unchecked in RealOne. I can make screen caps & everything with no problem in RealOne. Can't with RealTV.

Hamsterlady, can you confirm that the ijl15.dll file is in the same directory as realtv.exe.

I hope you guys can get it working for ya! :)

I've been using RTV since last season and have never had any problems with it.

Was going to uninstall & reinstall RealTV and try again just in case but it's not showing up in my Add/Remove hardware menu. There's no uninstall? That's not good....

Hamsterlady, Go to the directory where you have installed it, then double click on the uninstall.bat file. Next, erase the entire directory. Then start over with the orignal instructions in my email.

Wolf

There is no un-install from the "Add/Remove Programs" section in Control Panel, because this software does not use the Windows Installer. Since it simply runs in it's own directory, and only uses visual basic runtime .dll other than it's own files, installing it is simply putting it into it's own directory. Remove the directory to un-install. (The only thing you really need to run to install the newer version of the software is the .bat file which simply registers the audio capture drivers. If you don't run that install .bat, you have nothing to un-install.. just can't do audio capturing, that's all.)

Arbustur -- Sorry if I'm overstepping my boundaries by trying to answer some of the questions here. Just want to give input from the standpoint of an end-user who is simply happy with the software. :)

Oh! I just re-read your message, Hamsterlady.

"... but it's not showing up in my Add/Remove hardware menu ..."

My last message (above) was assuming you meant the Add/Remove PROGRAMS menu. I hope that's what you were intending. :)

Wolf, no problem. I think its great that end users are able to help each other out. I hope Hamsterlady can sort out the issues and get the software running.
