Preferences: Connection: Playback Settings

OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Universal Playback

Enable Universal Media Playback within Media Browser:  When enabled (checked), all links selected within the Media Browser will play back their presentations in RealOne Player.

Instant Playback

Enable... (Default is off) Sometimes clips are set up only to be downloaded or are running from a Web Server rather than a RealServer . RealOne Player can buffer and begin playback of these clips rather than making you wait to finish downloading them. Select Enable Instant Playback... to use this feature.

Buffered Play

(Default is 30 sec.) Defines how much of a clip RealOne Player should attempt to buffer before beginning to play. Enter the number of seconds of playback to buffer each clip.

Note: Buffered play is always enabled. This option only sets the size of the buffer.

Network time-out

Connection (Default is 20 sec.) Server (Default is 90 sec.) These settings determine how long RealOne Player will either attempt a particular transport protocol (Connection), or how long it will try to connect to a server. If either time is exceeded, your Player will tell you it cannot connect or that it has lost its connection (to the ISP ). If you frequently receive time-out warnings, you may try increasing these times.
