Hello list, I recently downloaded and installed Real Alternative from www.whitestick.co.uk in order to access the on-demand archives of PBS 106.7 FM (www.pbsfm.org.au). The live stream is in Windows Media, but these archived shows are streamed in Real format, and I didn't want to install RealPlayer and had read that Real Alternative could also handle that format. During the installation one of the components, which was checked by default (and which I left checked), was Media Player Classic, and when I look for the program on the desktop or within Programs submenu of Start menu, it's listed as Media Player Classic, not Real Alternative. The version is 6.4.9.0 (according to the About dialog under the Help menu). During the installation, there were components/options offered, which I left in their default state, for the most part, as I simply wasn't sure of the ramifications - eg. configure for Real Media. (I left this unchecked because Winamp is my default player and I was concerned about potential interference with Winamp.) Another option said something like "allow for direct splitting" or it might have been "allow for directshow splitting" (sorry this is vague, but I can't recall the exact wording). Not knowing what else to do, I left it checked, but given the problem I'm experiencing now, I'm wondering if that should have been unchecked and the other one (to do with configuring for Real Media) should be checked etc. After completing the installation, I later tried one of the archived episodes of "Sunglasses After Dark", one of my favourite shows on PBS FM, only to find that played the first half of the show and stopped. (It runs for 2 hours.) Interestingly, when I tried the same episode the next day, I got the second half, but I wanted to just play the whole episode from beginning to end. Under the Help menu, both "Home Page" and "Documentation (sf.net)" are offered, but in both cases, I had a frustrating time trying to find relevant info when pressing Enter and going into the respective sites. When I try the context-sensitive help in Jaws (Jawskey with F1), I get: JAWS may not recognize this control. To show JAWS what type of control it is, press JAWSKey+7. To see more technical information on the control, press Control+JAWSKey+F1.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Vivien Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
