Could be the file in question was encoded with the new G2 version of Real
Audio, or just with some codec that you don't happen to have. The version 5
Player for Linux is also not as good as the Windose version.... When I
tried to get help on the Real Forum, the moderator declined to post my
message - the best he could offer was to say that the files I was unable to
play, he COULD play - I was greatly impressed....!
By a lot of trial and error I found I could get the player to work most of
the time if I set it to 8 bit audio instead of 16 bit, and for TCP transport
only.
The G2 Real Player for Linux is due for release in the next week or two, I
believe. I think Linux has gained a lot more credibility since ver 5 for
Linux was released - so hopefully the g2 player will be a better product!
If not - I may consider switching our station to MP3 quite shortly......
