Real Audio/Real Video
Chapter 14

Typically you'll create a realaudio file subdirectory under domain-www, and put all your audio and video files 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.

Example:
http://musicforyou.com/ra/music.rm

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

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

PLEASE NOTE:

Many of our users have told us that they just call the real file like this:
rtsp://www.
yourdomain.com/file.rm (change http to rtsp)
without using a ram file and it streams flawlessly.
