Playing Movies and Streaming Video FAQ
|
|
Q. Why is my account locked?
|
|
A. This message is unique to Realplayer and happens often on Mac OS X. To correct the issue set the player to use HTTP protocol for streaming video:

2. Transport (Network Transports for PC) left side - Check manual configuration
3. Click button (2 buttons for PC) - Uncheck all except HTTP
4. Click OK and close Realplayer
5. The movie should play normally
|
|
Q. Why do I get "Server Busy" or "Network Error"?
|
|
A. We have multiple servers, so in the event that one server is actually busy it will not affect every movie. If you have a personal firewall, make sure that it is configured properly. AOL users may get this error message with Realplayer. The following steps will make the file play normally.
1. Right click streaming link
2. Choose “Save Target As”
3. Save to a location where you can find it easily
4. Open file after Download
|

2. Player tab > Check "Connect to the Internet"
The option is not present on WMP v8. Upgrade to v9 or later if possible. A workaround is described at Microsoft's website.
|
|
Q. Why do I get "General Error"?
|
|
A. If all else fails, try using the other video player. Use the sample clip to determine which player works best on your system.
|
|
Q. Why is the picture blurry or still?
|
|
A. A low bit rate stream will not be as clear as a high bandwidth stream. In the extreme case, a very low bandwidth setting (28.8k) can cause the user to only receive audio. Make sure that the player bandwidth settings are appropriate and the user is selecting the correct stream bit rate.
Windows Media Player
1. Tools menu --> Options
