Hello,

I've just downloaded the basic version of RealNetwork Server and installed it and it's working very good. However, I'm having problems getting the Ad Serving part to work. Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to make it so that a picture or Flash shows in the window everytime someone listens to one of our songs.

Any help is appriciated..

If all you what to do is show pictures or flash along with your video then code it in smil, do that with RealSlideShow then replace the appropriate regions, unless you specificaly need to use the ad serving for whatever reason.

I started looking into that now. Is there anyway to make one SMIL script and use it will all songs?

dont see why not.

If you code your smil correctly it can have links to your songs from different regions in the smil. eg smil button = start video in region1 + audio in region1, smil button 2 = change all buttons and areas etc etc.

or do it dynamicaly.

your best option is to get RealSlideShow plus.

I know how to make a SMIL script to show what I want. I know how to make the real audio files. And I know how to use RealSlideShow to put them together. The problem is that I will have to do this for each and every song and that will ruin our whole plan. What we want is something like if the user goes to rtsp://www.domain.com/file.smil?song=songname (or something like this), the file.smil will be played (animation) with the songname.rm file. We want it this way so that we can simply change/updated file.smil and all songs should be updated with it.

So, you want to use your own variables in the smil file?

:D

Have you tried using php?
