[slim] Question about kbps .

What exactly is kbps? Is it better to have a station with a high # or a smaller #. I am listening to a station with 24 kbps and it buffered up quickly and the sound is ok. It is a talk station. Since it buffered quickly I thought that the lower # was preferrable so this is why I asked. I guess I

Re: [slim] Question about kbps .

Higher is better for sound quality, lower is better, as you have discovered, for buffering. kbps = kilobits per second. This is the data rate of the encoded audio being sent to the player. Talk stations can get away with much lower bitrates than music stations, as the audio is much less

RTSP would be useful for some WMA stations that stream using MMS-over-RTSP. But all it takes for these stations to stream using the HTTP method we do support is checking a single checkbox in the WM Server admin tool. So it hasn't been a priority for us to support. RTSP is also used for

Re: [slim] RTSP, why not ?

RTSP is just the control protocol. It basically sets up the session and control thereof (setup, teardown, pause ..). Many very popular apps support it, not sure if elements of the SC solution do or don't. The actual data is then transported with RTP (real time protocol) which carries tiemstamps

Re: [slim] RTSP, why not ?

The RealAudio RTSP is different to the standard RTSP as it was used as a basis for the standard RTSP but is not compliant with RTSP. This mean when you build mplayer you sometimes have to choose which flavour of RTSP you want to include. -- bpa
