I have been reading about this...
You CAN use an http server, (this is explained in the Product Guide for Real
Player G2, in .pdf format) but you just can't get the streaming capabilities
you can get with the Real Server. Of course, it all depends on what you want
to do. For example, I have recently been experimenting with encoding real
media files for different bit rates (16 kbps, 32 etc.) You can actually make
one .rm file that will have a different coding for each bit rate. So as soon
as someone opens their realplayer, the player will automatically choose
which bit rate is good for that computer's specifications. It's pretty cool,
but won't work without a RealServer.
