RP 8 install

Hi All:
I have a new Installation of eCS 1.2 on my machine.  I am in the process 
of trying to get my "SB Live! 24bit" sound card to work with UniAud 
drivers.  Roderick says it should work. 
The best that I could accomplish with this combo was,  some entries were 
added in the MMPM2.ini file and some new tabs were added to the 
Multimedia Setup Notebook.  So far,  the Hardware Manager gives no 
indication of knowing about it.
Unimix is not usable because several .dll files were not delivered with 
the s/w package.  I was told that "LIBC06x" was needed, and I have it in 
place.  Now Unimix says it needs "LIBC04" as well.
ODIN is installed.  Version 20020627. 
I have now turned my attention to getting the Sound Card working and 
installing Real Player. 
Does anybody know if it makes a difference which is installed first?
Isn't there an installation program for Real Player?  Or what's the best 
way to install Real Player?

Thomas

I know nothing of Sound Blaster, ask Roderick.

I think it does not matter.

It does matter!!!
Neither ODIN nor any of its applications have the ability
to fix a defective hardware facility.  All RealPlayer releases
expect that the user has correctly operating Display and
Sound facilities before one attempts to install their product.
If your sound or display facilities are not functioning
normally under native OS2 then don't even bother with  things
like RealPLayer, WinAmp or even WarpVision.

??? I think they'll work fine without sound.

You may be correct.  But I sorta had my heart set on a hearing a Radio 
Program from the USA every week day.  Which would defeat the whole 
purpose for installing and getting Real Player to run on my PC.

Real Player File Question

Hi All:
I have a RP installer and the installer wants to know how many RP 
....setup.exe files are sutable for ODIN ?
I don't know!  There are two on my PC.  One is "rp8-setup.exe" and the 
other is "rp8-standard-u1-setup.exe".
"Rp8-setup.exe" is 5,136,384 byts big.  And "rp8-standard-u1-setup.exe" 
is 10,995,200 bytes big.  I think "standard-u1" is from Real Networks 
archive.

RP8-setup.exe is the one I have always used. I'm not sure what the other 
one you refer to is !

RealPlayer and Mozilla

I've read the stuff here about getting RP8 to work, and I've 
accomplished that: "PE REALPLAY.EXE" works.

What I haven't managed to accomplish is to get RP8 activated when I go 
to a Web site where I would expect it to be invoked. Is RP8 supposed to 
set up as a plugin or as a helper app? In either case, how?

It can't run as a plugin, obviously.  To use PE, you should write a 
batch file along the lines of

        <at> echo off
       x:
       cd "\program files\real\realplayer"
       pe realplay.exe "%1"

Then when you encounter a .ra, .rm or .ram file, tell Mozilla to use 
that .cmd file to open it, and check the box that says "always use this 
program to open files of this type".  If the site insists on using a 
plugin, as many if not most do nowadays, you're out of luck, unless you 
want to look through the HTML source and find the name of the actual 
media file, which you can then copy and paste into RealPlayer manually, 
and which may or may not work.

What will run as a plugin for Real media files, with unpredictable 
results, is WarpVision GUI.  I've actually seen it work quite nicely, 
but not very often.

Real Player yet again

Hi:
I havn't had much to say for many moons because I've started over from 
scratch with ODIN and Real Player.  And I quickly came to an impass.  
What Sound Card should I use?  I have the following SB cards:  AWE32, 
AWE64, SB 4.1 digital and SB Live 24bit.
At this point I only know what doesn't work.  SB Live with UniAud does 
not work as advertised. 
I'm getting kind of nervious because I and some friends want to watch a 
WebCast on the 24 - 25 Sept.  Since there is a six hour difference in 
time my friends thought I should volunteer to record it.  Which brings 
up another question.  Where is the RECORD button in Real Player?  Or is 
that an extra cost option?  Or what would be the best way to delay the 
WebCast to be viewed at a more convienient time?

Thomas
