Hi.

My favorite pbs station offers streaming audio on the web. My coworker uses Windows, clicks on the streaming link and Real Audio starts and the stream begins with no problem. I use Red Hat 7.2, click the same link and I just get a dialog box asking me where I want to download the file, no fine pbs broacasting. We are both using Netscape 4.7. What gives?

Many Thanks,

Delilah

If you have the real audio plugin installed for Netscape, everything should be just peachy, but if not you can still usually copy and paste the url into Real Player, or when it brings up a dialogue to save or open something, choose open and then select Real Player as the application to use.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I think you might also be able to save the .ra file to a local disk and then open it with realaudio.

I've got streaming Real audio and video under Mozilla, works pretty well; you can also get streams to XMMS or other apps if Real isn't supported at the site.

Plugger (http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html) can also be helpful in configuring media apps with Netscape / Mozilla.
