I think the file format plugin for the datatype you want to stream must be
RTP-enabled (i.e. it must know how to packetize RTP). You can determine
which plugins are RTP enabled using
IRMAPacketFormat::GetSupportedPacketFormats (see "Supporting Multiple
Packet Formats" in the SDK docs).
I did this and found the following file format plugins claim to support RTP:
RealNetworks AU File Format Plugin (audio/x-pn-au)
RealNetworks WAVE File Format Plugin (audio/x-pn-wav)
RealNetworks AVI File Format Plugin (application/x-pn-avi-plugin)
So put one of the above media formats on your G2 server and try to stream
that to the QT player. I tried this with WAV, AVI and AU, and QT connected
and then GPF'd in each case. Oh well.
You should also be able to put the above formats on a QT server and stream
to RealPlayer using RTP.
I also tried playing AU and WAV files from RealServer using the JavaSoft
JMF2.0 client application (it supports RTSP/RTP). This failed to parse the
RTSP response header from RealServer:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: 1031;server_port=8336-8337

Even if RealServer could serve RealVideo files using RTP, QT can't play
them. You need to serve a file format QT can understand, and one that
RealServer is capable of serving via RTP.
