Subject: using relative directory structures with SMI files
Here at Yupi Internet Services, we are temporarily streaming using HTTP
protocol until we can find the best realaudio hosting solution, .. and we
are encountering some problems in regards to referencing our realaudio files
in SMI files when trying to use relative directory structures.
The scenario:
We are encoding 3 different singlerate realaudio files ( 28k, 56k, and DUAL
ISDN ) and using the SMIL "Switch" tag to sniff out the user's connection
speed and to deliver the best quality clip to them:
<smil>
<body>
<switch>
<par system-bitrate="64000">
<!--for dual isdn and faster -->
<audio src="filename_dual_isdn.rm"/>
</par>
<par system-bitrate="32000">
<!--for 56k and faster -->
<audio src="filename_56k.rm"/>
</par>
<par system-bitrate="20000">
<!--for 28k and faster-->
<audio src="filename_28k.rm"/>
</par>
</switch>
</body>
</smil>
It of course works locally, -- but when I attempt to access these SMI files
on the webserver, .. I get an error message and it craps out. Ideally, we
would like to be able to upload the 3 realaudio files AND the SMI file to
the same folder on the server and to NOT have to include the full paths to
the realaudio files in the SMI files. These full paths woulld be changing
frequently from artist to artist, and it would be nice to be able to
eliminate that additional programming step. Is there ANY way at all to get
this to work without having to include the full paths to the 3 realaudio
files in the SMI files? If so, how?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
