Streaming Audio

Does anyone know if it is possible to use QCD to play BBC 7?

You can but it isn't pretty. This was posted by matty28carter the other day.

This is what I did to get the real plug-ins to work in qcd, and I don?t have the real player installed?

1) installed the tara and QCD video plug-in

2) I then installed the realcodecs11 from http://shaohao.vip.sina.com/RealCodecs11.zip which you don?t actually need, but there are a few files that are missing from the other install which stop the real media working. Install it to a folder, anywhere e.g "C:\My Documents\New Folder\"

3) I then installed the realalt110 from www.kazaalite.tk to its default location.

4) I then copied the ?common? folder from the ?RealCodecs11? install and pasted it into the ?realalt110? install folder.

5) There are then 3codecs which are missing from the ?realalt110? install which belong in the ?plug-ins? folder in the ?realalt110? install directory, I can?t remember which ones they where exactly so just copy the files from the ?realcodecs11? install plug-ins folder and paste them into the ?realalt110? plug-ins folder WITHOUT overwriting the ones that are already in there that way the missing ones will go in.

Now in qcd associate the tara plug-in with ?RA:SMI:SMIL:RMM:RNX:RMX:RMJ:RPM:RAM? and the QCD Video plug-in 1.12(latest) with ?ASX:WMX:WVX:WAX:ASF:MPG:MPEG:M2V:M1V:AVI:WMV:RV:R M:MPA?

And that works for me with all the real formats I try and wmv still works. Sometime the QCD video plug-in throws a wobbly but I just disable it then restart QCD and re-enable it and it works fine.

oh and i do have the RealMedia Splitter installed from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ but i don't think its necissary as i believe its included with the realalternative anyway but if those instructions don't work, then install it and see.

If you do this RealPlayer (the program) will no longer run at all, but real media will play in QCD. You then need to capture the streaming address and paste that into QCD.

I did this; it does work. I undid it when I realized Real Player was broken.

Thank you very much. I think that I will wait for a rainy afternoon to try that. Perhaps even a rainy weekend.

Again, thank you.

that link to www.kazaalite.tk is now redundent, the kazaa codec site is now at http://doa2.host.sk/codecs/
