Hello, all. I've been using the program with much success for all of my *.asf files. But, when I try to download the *.rm files, I am never able to. Here's one website, for example: http://www.columbia.edu/itc/history/marable/c1001/weeks/week11.html

The song I'd like is "Little Child Running Wild" (under Multimedia). By simply highlighting the song and copying it to streambox vcr, I get this: http://kola.cc.columbia.edu:8080/ramgen/itcmedia/marable/little_child.rm

However, when I put this into Steambox VCR, it won't let me download it. Says something like "Retry idle." Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? This happens almost every time I try to d/l an rm file.

Thanks.

Ramgen redirector.

StreamBox VCR download problems or no video problems.
http://p084.ezboard.com/fstreemeboxvcrfrm7.showMessage?topicID=4.topic

StreamBox VCR has had many patches and updates.
Make sure you have all the versions with all the current updates.
Download and install.
StreamBox VCR Suite 2.0
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_capture_tools/streambox_vcr_suite.cfm
This is especially important for downloading RTSP Protocol Real Media streams because this suite contains the 3.1 SMF+turbo and SMF+ versions needed to download from newer Real Servers.

Hey, Veblin. Thanks a lot for the advice. I get the Suite editiona and I'll go ahead and try to use it. One question, will it have the same protocol settings as the original Streambox VCR? Thanks.

See, I thought Streambox VCR 2.0 wouldn't do real-audio. I certainly had no luck when I tried it.

When I used Streambox VCR 1.031 (i think that's the version), which was included in the Streambox 2 download, it worked fine.

What's up with v2.0 and .rm files?

I'm able to download .rm files with the original Streambox VCR. I found a patch here on the site that lets me download .rm files. I'm not sure about this, but I think you probably just need to get that patch. It's specifically for downloading Helix streams.

Hope that helps.

As explained here.
StreamBox VCR download problems or no video problems.
http://p084.ezboard.com/fstreemeboxvcrfrm7.showMessage?topicID=4.topic

There are some sites that transfer RM (Real Media) and RA (Real Audio) files with HTTP Protocol that need a special User-Agent. StreamBox VCR has a set User-Agent and will only download a small redirector file or HTML error page from these sites and will do the same or fail to connect if you change the download protocol or the URL protocol.
Net Transport, OEP-OEE, HiDownload, FlashGet will allow you to set or define the User-Agent.
In the Options for these programs try setting the User-Agent or Agent Identification to this.
RMA/1.0 (compatible; RealMedia)
In Net Transport you can set this in the Other settings... Download tab User Agent
when you add the download.
Streaming media recording software list.
http://p084.ezboard.com/fstreemeboxvcrfrm7.showMessage?topicID=1.topic

Example using Net Transport.
Change RTSP URL's to HTTP.
http://yocsob.com/movie/newyear2004/04ny1_bb.rm
http://yocsob.com/movie/newyear2004/04ny3_bb.rm

Copy HTTP URL.
Open Net Transport.
Click New.
HTTP URL should be in URL box.
Click Other Settings... button (bottom right).
On download tab change the User-Agent to RMA/1.0 (compatible; RealMedia)
Click OK.
Click OK.
Download should start.
