Some Real files play, depending evidently on the extension. Just tried the RealPlayer stuff at http://www.cpcweb.com/Webcasting/webcast_samples.htm If I click on any language other than English, ".rm" files are called, and they play w/o a hitch. The English files, though, are ".smi", and RealPlayer tells me that the file, <something>.rm, cannot be found. Of course not - it's a .smi file. At RealPlayer's site, http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/, none of the ".ram" files play. In short, .rm files play; none of the other extensions do. btw, the listing in about:plugins shows only the ".rpm" extension. Is it supposed to show more? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
