OWH,

By the way, I have to make a comment. We moved to OneWorldHosting back in May from another vendor. I have never been sorry for that decision. OWH has simply been the most reliable and responsive host I've ever seen. Response to my technical questions has always been exceptionally good. Thanks for the follow up.

	Free Resources Real Audio / Video

Your One World host account supports just about every kind of audio and video common to web sites, including Real Audio/Video, Windows Media Player files, MPEG, and Quicktime. Quicktime, MPEG, and Windows Media Player files are simple - just upload your ".wmv", ".mpg", and ".mov" files in Binary mode, and they will stream to any web browser with the appropriate media players. Real Media files download rather than stream by default, but you can bypass this feature by creating a "meta file" with instructions to stream your media file. Detailed instructions for Real streaming follow.

Real Audio/Video:

Although One World accounts do not provide access to a full-fledged Real Server, you can stream Real Media files by following these instructions:

To stream Real Audio/Video you need to do 3 things:

1. upload the .rm (audio/video file) to your site using FTP or the File Manager in your Control Panel.

2. Create a file in your File Manager (at the bottom of the screen in the directory that you would like your audio/video files to be, put in a file name and click Create/Edit file) that has 1 line in it. This file name must have a .ram extension.

3. Call the .ram file in your html code.

Detailed instructions:

Typically you'll create a realaudio file subdirectory under domain-www, and put all your audiofiles there.

Then your .ram file, a.k.a., metafile, will contain an address with this format:

http://fulldomainname/subdirectory/filename.rm

The "subdirectory" is a subdirectory of your domain-www directory.

So for example:
http://yourmusic.com/ra/song.rm

Notice:
The above address goes in the .ram/metafile, not in your HTML code. Your HTML code calls the .ram/metafile. Then the .ram/metafile is used to call up the .rm/realmedia file. So for example, your HTML code would look something like this:

<a href="http://yourmusic.com/ra/song.ram">Click here to listen to music.</a>
