widget.openApplication open RealPlayer on device

[stingmartin]

Hi All,

I want to pass a url to the RealPlayer on device through openApplication() function. it was only able to open the RealPlayer, but not specify a sound file or url.
Does anyone have any idea about this? Please help me.

Thanks.

How did you try ? this code:

var realUID = 0x10005a3e;
widget.openApplication(realUID,urli);

where urli is fully qualified url did work for me earlier..

[stingmartin]

Yes.
urli is a video file.

Ok then, is the Url supported type of stream that can be played with Real-player ?, do try out playing the link directly from the Real player applciation and see whether it actually works on there.

[stingmartin]

Thanks for your reply.

But it's not working for me.
I used like this: widget.openApplication(0x10005a3e, 'http://myserver.com/myVideo.3gp'). Is it wrong?

[symbianyucca]

Did you try opening the Real player from a menu, and trying to open the link with it ? i.e. not from WRT Widget but actually just using the application itself ?

Anyway, as far as I know HTTP links are not really streams that would be supported, so you should actually use a real video streaming solution there.

Hi stingmartin,

One alternative is use widget.openURL(url); The browser will be open and then the realplayer. I know that it isn't a good solution but it will solve your problem :P

[symbianyucca]

Wont really help on Url's that are not supported by the real-player.

[jzferreira]

Off course, but it will help him in this specific situation. widget.openURL("http://myserver.com/myVideo.3gp");

[symbianyucca]

So how would it help him, what would you expect to happen ?

at least it would not open a Real-Player and it would not stream the file, and that is what this thread has been about.

Hi,
this works well in my widget application:

widget.openApplication(realUID, "http://something.com/stream.php");

but it works only on S60 5th with UID 0x10005a3e. UID for S^3 is different?

Did you get this to work? the widget.openApplication(realUID,rtspLink); is not working for me on Symbian3 devices, it does nothing, is that line correct for symbian belle?

Thanks.
