How can I deliver a Real Media presentation ?
There are several ways of bringing Real Media content to your viewer/listener
1. Streaming prerecorded files over HTTP
Upload your Real Media files, just like you would
any other files ( gifs, html etc ). When
a link to a Real Media file is clicked
Real Player will be started ( if the computer has one installed )
and it'll start playing the clip identified by the link.
2. Streaming prerecorded files over Real Media Server
This option requires an account on a Real Media server,
so if your plan doesn't come with it; check the
pricing at http://acceleratedweb.com/addons.shtm and
ask our tech team to set it up.
Once that's setup follow setup instructions outlined by
this
FAQ
3. Live broadcasting
This option is the most expensive one. It also
requires a Real Media account but with an additional
configuration. So notify our tech support
before trying to live broadcast. You will
also need a software called Real/Helix Producer
which is a product of http://www.real.com;
before buying it make sure your hardware
is compatible with it by consulting with
real.com support team.
Once your Real Media account has been configured for
live broadcasting, use the settings below
( substituting your actual values )
Real Server <yourdomain.com>
Port 4040
File /<your_user>/filename.rm
User <your_user>
Password ( this will be set to your account's password )
make sure that File starts with /<your_user>/
Your listeners/viewers access feeds with
http://<yourdomain.com>:8080/ramgen/encoder/<your_user>/filename.rm
Ex.
For domainame mydomain.com and username u1001 the settings will be as follows
Real Server mydomain.com
Port 4040
File u1001/filename.rm
User u1001
Password ( this will be set to your account's password )
Your listeners/viewers access feeds with
http://mydomain.com:8080/ramgen/encoder/u1001/filename.rm

How do I stream Real Media files over Real Media Server ?
Before setting up Real Media content, make sure
your hosting package comes with Real Media Server add-on;
if not request it through our support form on the Support page
Below are three easy steps needed to setup Real Media streaming:
1. Create a .rm file, in real media format, and upload it into rm folder which is in your home directory. (ex:
/web1/users/u1001/rm).
2. Create a .ram file, in plain text format, which must contain one line: rtsp://yourdomain.com/your_username/file.rm and
upload it with the rest of your HTML files (into the docs or its subfolders)
3. Link to your .ram file using the following HTML code: <a href="/somepath/file.ram">Video File</a>
Ex.
Your account info is
Domain : sample.com
Username : u1001
and the file you'd like to stream is video.rm
So, following the first step you should upload video.rm into rm directory.
Then create video.ram file which should contain exactly one line rtsp://example.com/u1001/video.rm
Upload video.ram file into your docs folder.
Finally in your pages link to video.ram using following <a href="/video.ram">Video File</a>
