Steve,
You say that a short RM file can drive the player to play an SMIL file. I
tried this but could not get it to work. When the URL in the event is a SMIL
file, the player is not driven to play the file - it is always the browser
that tries to open the file. What is the correct syntax for the URL event in
the event text file to force the player rather than the browser to open the
URL?
If it worked it would solve the problem of local links from the browser to
SMIL files not working on the Mac or in Navigator on Windows.
John

I don't know about the SMIL Boston spec but it is definitely not
possible in current version of SMIL but what you can do is put events at
the end of a media file or put an event in a single very short media
file that drives the player to a different SMIL file. Events are
created with the RMEvents utility. See documentation on the
RealProducer for more info.
Because you do this by switching between two different SMIL
presentations then there will be some rebuffering.
