How do I stream media files?
|
We do not offer a real media service on our shared servers, but you can do streaming over http at no charge. You can do this by creating a .ram media file.
Basically, you create a .ram file that calls your actual audio/video file. Then your .ram file (or metafile), will contain an actual address with the media file, such as: http://yourdomain.com/filename.rm Note: 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 your HTML code would look something like this: Click here to listen to music.
