Yes, there are some good editors out there like Dreamweaver which has
specific support for embedding the realplayer into a page. You can also
use the publish feature in the RealProducer Plus to create a simple web
page and publish this to a realserver. Embedding the player is actually
quite simple. For instance, what you are trying to do can be done with:
<embed src="rtsp://demos.real.com/g2video.rm" width=240 height=180
controls=ImageWindow console=1 type=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
prefetch=true autostart=false nojava=true
pluginspage=http://www.real.com/player>
<embed src="rtsp://demos.real.com/g2video.rm" width=25 height=180
controls=VolumeSlider console=1 type=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
prefetch=true autostart=false nojava=true
pluginspage=http://www.real.com/player>
<br>
<embed src="rtsp://demos.real.com/g2video.rm" width=220 height=24
controls=StatusBar console=1 type=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
prefetch=true autostart=false nojava=true
pluginspage=http://www.real.com/player>
<embed src="rtsp://demos.real.com/g2video.rm" width=20 height=24
controls=PlayOnlyButton console=1 type=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
prefetch=true autostart=false nojava=true
pluginspage=http://www.real.com/player>
<embed src="rtsp://demos.real.com/g2video.rm" width=20 height=24
controls=StopButton console=1 type=audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
prefetch=true autostart=false nojava=true
pluginspage=http://www.real.com/player>
Note the console= paramter which tells each separate plugin to work with
the other plugins as a single group.
The above src parameters assume you are pulling the content off a
RealServer. You can put media files on a webserver and use http:// as
the protocol but doing this you will not be streaming the media files
but rather downloading them. There are several reasons why this is less
than ideal. Some of them are:
1. if a user on a low bandwidth connection (and even high bandwidth)
wants to move forward in the video they have to wait this the whole file
downloads before they can view something in the future.
2. If a user only views a small portion of the stream and they are on a
high bandwidth connection they are likely to have downloaded the whole
file after only a few seconds. This will cost you extra bandwidth
becaus webservers typically download as fast as they can.
3. Websever don't have Intelectual Property control and so you will not
be able to prevent users from downloading the media file and repurposing
it. Even if you password protect the media files on a webserver, once
the user logs in, the fundemental nature of websevers is to allow
download of files.
4. Less efficient use of network, more bursty traffic.
5. live delivery of media
Lots of other reasons as well which go into the feature set of our
professional servers.
