From: Winsor White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: G2 "Buffered Play" Adjustments Not Working Hello-- I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on an problem I have been unable to resolve with the vendor who hosts my web site, re the performance of his Real Server G2. The Real Video clips on my site don't respond to "Buffered Play" control panel adjustments made in the Real Player. As I have a number of international visitors, this feature is very important -- If the buffer size can't be increased , viewers with slow or intermittent connections are treated to a very slow slide show as the G2 server dumbs down the frame rate. As it is, it makes no difference if the player ( Real Player 7 on both Windows and Mac) is set to 5 seconds or 90 seconds for buffer time in the "connection' control panel in the player; It always buffers about the same amount (5-10 seconds) after the connection is established. Enabling "Perfect Play" makes no difference. Selecting "buffer the entire clip" does not work either, even on clips of less than two minutes. Some of my G2 clips are recorded with SVT, others are not -- also making no difference. See for example: http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com/ram/P-39G28.ram This clip was encoded using Real Producer Plus G2 (Mac). My vendors server version is RealMedia 6.0.3.328(sunos5) During playback, the transport protocol reads "RTSPvHTTP". I was not behind a firewall during play back tests, which were done from a number of locations using dial up modems. Any suggestions why "buffered play" is not working and how it can be enabled that I can pass on to my vendor? I don't believe there is anything I am missing in the encoding process.
