One of our classrooms is being used to host a MIT_Alum livecast tomorrow
evening [thur].
We were given a url to test the connection/firewall which seems to go
nowhere:
http://web.mit.edu/webcast/50k/2007/mit-100k-finals-16may2007-220k.ram
The broadcast link is Broadband (RealMedia 8 or later) & apparently
the .rpm suffix means a RealAudioMetafile.
This is a little confusing. Apparently, the .ram suffix means files
that launch a RealAudio player as an application *external* to the Web
browser & a .rpm suffix refs files that launch RealAudio player as a
plug-in application *within* the Web browser?
Also, from what I can tell the prefix should be RTSP:// for Real Time
Streaming Protocol instead of HTTP://
Does anyone have any insights or experience with this?
