1495. Indiana Jones - 6/29/2000 11:06:54 PM Works for me, Pelle. I think your suspicion expressed in 1489 is probably the right way to fix it. That is, the html is supposed to look in that file (test.rpm) and find the location of test.rm, but for some reason it's not working. Someone familiar with RealAudio would know better, but at least this kludge works.
You could try changing your html back to point to test.rpm and changing test.rpm to say "http://www.geocities.com/pelle108/test.rm"
That might be the preferred way to fix it. 1496. PelleNilsson - 6/29/2000 11:08:41 PM Indy, you are too clever by one. 1497. Indiana Jones - 6/29/2000 11:14:17 PM Pelle: I'm guessing the reason Real Audio might do it that way (which seems circumlocutious) is you might have a clip you didn't want people stealing. So you don't link to it directly, but to this rpm file that goes and finds it. The rpm file would not be accessible via the Web (in your case it is, but you could put it somewhere that it wasn't) and neither would test.ra.
That way, I could listen to your clip but not copy it to my machine.
Again, though, this is all guesswork because you've already learned more about RealAudio than I have! 1498. PelleNilsson - 6/29/2000 11:22:00 PM I started this because I wanted to play a couple of bird calls for cmboyce. The next hurdle is to find a way to turn off the built-in microphone in the laptop. I have a CDRipper program but it records the sound from the mic in parallel to that from the CD.
I'm on my way home now so I'll log out. Thanks again! 1499. PelleNilsson - 7/2/2000 6:22:18 PM Indy
The solution we found Friday turned out to be a pseudo-solution. The .rm file does not launch true streaming mode. The entire file downloads and then Realplayer starts. When you have a fast connection and a small file (162K) you hardly notice the difference. There is also the problem with the disk cache. Maybe you think it's a bit slow the first time and you want to check it again. Then the file has been cached and it loads quickly.
I found this out over the weekend with a 56K connection. So the purpose of the .rpm file is to activate streaming mode (refer the browser's list of applications).
But never mind about that for now. I have activated an account with tripod.com which has a different approch. 1500. PelleNilsson - 7/2/2000 6:26:46 PM Anyone who looks in here and has Realplayer installed: please click here and tell me what happens. I get a very low sound level. On the other hand I have some problems with my sound card. 1501. wonkers2 - 7/3/2000 7:33:06 AM I heard the arctic loon! The volume was not high but acceptable. Also, there was a fair amount of background noise. 1502. dusty - 7/3/2000 8:07:32 AM It did not work for me. The first time, I got a real Audio screen and a message saying "Connecting" but after several minutes, nothing had happened. The next two times, I got the same screen, but then a error message stating, "Bad transport." 1503. joezan - 7/3/2000 2:24:49 PM
Pelle:
I had to download the G2 update, but immediately after that your arctic loon came through loud and clear (well, clear, anyway), with the sound of your Dr. Martens clumping along on the frozen tundra in the background. 1504. PelleNilsson - 7/3/2000 2:29:37 PM joezan
The clumping sound is in fact another bird. Give me a minute and I'll find out.
1505. joezan - 7/3/2000 2:35:08 PM
Another bird???!!!
Gads! - how'd you get him into a pair of Dr. Martens? 1506. PelleNilsson - 7/3/2000 2:35:19 PM
It's Solopax rusticola which is, I believe, the grouse, but I may be wrong. I'm not good at English names of birds. 1507. PelleNilsson - 7/3/2000 5:37:36 PM One can do some interesting things with the tools provided at tripod.com. 1508. PelleNilsson - 7/3/2000 6:02:50 PM I was utterly wrong about the other bird. First its Latin name is Scopola ... Second, its English name is Eurasian Woodcock.
I found this site which translates bird names between Latin, Dutch, English, French, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Russian. 1509. rubberducky - 7/6/2000 11:42:27 PM test msg 1510. rubberducky - 7/6/2000 11:44:43 PM hmm
cool 1511. RosettaStone - 7/27/2000 7:02:22 AM "The New York Times should either find a new story or register as an agent of Al Gore."
--George Will, 6/11/00
He said it in June on This Week when discussing yet another above the fold "expose" of young George Bush's college days. Still waiting on the "Gore was an active recreational drug user after college and Vietnam and up until he first ran for public office" story.
Above the fold, please, where you put babyBush's story! 1512. RosettaStone - 7/27/2000 7:14:08 AM "He was a cruel man, but fair."
