Mark,
I have just tried it and keep getting error messages!
Can you open up realplayer as a stand alone and go to tools preferences proxy?
What are the settings?

Hi Stephen,
I'm currently listening to Radio 5 live on the unmanaged side using
realplayer. I'm using proxy2. On the BBC website, on radio at least,
select "listen now", then "listen now using stand-alone realplayer"
Cheers
Mark

I have also tried, but couldn't get it to work. I think it will work as
a player for CD's etc... but I've never been able to sort it to be used
for internet content. C2K were aware of this, I'm surprised that Jimmy
said it could be used on the unmanaged side.

Colleagues,
I need help.
Today I was lucky enough to be at a little meeting at the BBC. In this
meeting Jimmy Stewart gave a presentation about c2k. In it he described
c2k's three main priorities at the moment:
1. The roll out of learningni (to be activated for us all in the next
3 to 4 weeks, post primary schools)
2. The primary LAN contract re-procurement.
3. The software advisory panel*
Anyway... The question came up (it was just a matter of time) about
Realplayer. A person from the BBC inquired about the provision of
realplayer. This is a good question and one I was hoping would come up
(although, another very good question would have been "why did the BBC
choose something as yuk as realplayer in the first place"). We have
heard that c2k have been working on realplayer for some time, basically
they are at the moment trying to acquire the full version of realplayer
with all the bells and whistles. This kind of makes sense in a
"spending public money" way. If you are going to spend money getting it
all tested and adjusted for the network then it is probably better to
spend a little bit more and get the version with more productivity and
functions.
Then it came...... Jimmy said "the option to use realplayer has always
been there for teachers to use", "it may be an inconvenience, but they
can use the unmanaged side". At this point the geek inside me
stirred.....and got angry. I did however bite my tongue and did not
mention my concern just in case I was being stupid. So here it is...I
need help:
Has anyone, anywhere, ever, got realplayer to work on the umanaged side
of a c2k machine?
I have tried and tried. It installs, yes, it works at home, yes, but I
CANNOT get it to work in school behind the c2k proxy. I have even
played about with the settings in realplayer, directing it to the proxy,
changing which ports it looks for.
Am I being stupid? Am I missing something?
Please help.
Stephen
PS *At the first software advisory panel meeting, last month, the main
issue seemed to be the question of the actual role of the software
panel. It was made clear by several representatives that the panels'
purpose was not to physically review each suggested software title. It
was felt that the software panel should take a more a role which ensures
all representatives should agree on future methods and channels for
software titles. Basically the panel has a responsibility for "public
accountability". It seems the panel might set up a method for software
selection that is transparent and agreed upon by all concerned members.
The c2k user forum will give guidance to the software panel on this
matter. If you would like to express your concerns to the user forum,
please do, at www.eduforumni.net or email me.
