Hello. I've made some progress on the issue. I found a tool called TrPlayer which is a text mode front end for real player - initially developed for the use of the visually impaired. The theory is that I can use this and pipe the live stream into vsound which then in turn is passed into ices or another source client. Trouble is, I'm having all sorts of trouble compiling Trplayer on the latest RedHat... something about __pure_virtual being an undefined symbol...?? Regarding Helix, I am using a Real server not the Helix Community open source version. The real version is incredibly easy to install and administrate and you can pick up a free working version with a stream cap at 1mbps from the realnetworks website. I haven't got around to compiling the open source version but from what I've heard it is efficient and worth looking into.

The only thing I could imagine working is when you have a tool that could grab a realaudio-stream from the Helix server and unpack it to plain PCM wav data. This you can feed into ices, afaik, and let it re-encode to mp3. If you don't yet have such a tool it might be a bit of "homework" to do using the existing realaudio-libs shipped with Helix. How difficult is building Helix, how easy is it to administrate etc. I've read a few things about it on the Helix website - but I've not yet found the time to occupy myself with it. Looks like much work - is it not? What logfiles, frontends etc. does the Helix Server provide? And from which point on do you need a real RealServer (where Helix Server does no longer suffice)? <p>Regards, Stefan On 21 Mar 2004 at 18:04, samurai.fm wrote:> I am a little new to Linux so I would appreciate some assistance with this > issue. > > I have been running a Helix server streaming RealAudio encoded contentlive> and on-demand for a while.

Hi: I think trplayer needs to be compiled against the realmedia SDK. Not sure when trplayer was last updated either. You might just want to pull one of the precompiled binaries up there, that's all I've ever done.

Well more specifically I want to transcode a realaudio stream into mp3 on the same machine and on the command line only - reliably! Following up, I managed to compile the trplayer using a substitute __pure_virtual function compiled with extern "C" (without it the function name was being mangled by g++) by now trplayer runs and exits without warning, error or success... the funny thing is if I try running the precompiled trplayer with the LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libmemc++.so (which I compiled with the missing __builtin_vec_new etc functions) prefix it seems to work ok. The problem with that is I cannot pass this into vsound. $ vsound LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libmemc++.so trplayer rtsp://my.stream.net:554/broadcat/live.rm Doesn't work because the extra preload argument isn't passed into vsound correctly. ARG! I guess my only option left is to recompile vsound with the preload bit included... Otherwise I give up. And onto the next problem of mp3 streaming into flash...
