Real Audio/Video (.ra & .rm) Streaming Guide


The quick method:

Upload your Real Audio/Video (.ra, .rm) clips into the folder named helix_stream/ which is found under your web root (public_html/) folder. Now link to your clips from your web page as follows:
 

<a href="http://host.onyxservers.com:8088/ramgen/myusername/myclip.rm">Play Clip</a>


myusername
is your main account user ID as e-mailed to you in your account activation e-mail.



The preferred method:

Upload your Real Audio/Video (.ra, .rm) clips into the folder named helix_stream/ which is found under your web root (public_html/) folder. Now create a text file (one for each clip) with the extension .ram which contains the clip URL as follows:
 

rtsp://host.onyxservers.com/myusername/myclip.rm


The .ram file can be placed anywhere under your web root (public_html/) folder. From your web page, create a link to the .ram file you just created. For example,
 

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/myvideo.ram">Play Clip</a>



This is the prefered method to stream your clips as using a .ram file supports more playback parameters than the previous method.
