sounds good. question: does "helix code" include support for SMIL?

Not sure what you mean by "helix code"?

www.helixcommunity.org, the open source version of the "real" infrastructure.


The available free-to-download
real players will play smil, with a few workarounds (like making the url
.ram which points to .smil)

Side Note:
Unfortunately RealPlayer SMIL and Quicktime SMIL use different

(Workaround is .ram afaik ... lmk if it doesn't work!)


Geeks appear to hate having RealPlayer installed, QuickTime is not
available for Linux.

Nah, Realplayer is ok and a fairly safe bet for linux, and we have ways (tm) of dealing with QT files too, now.

isn't there a way to make it work on both real and QT?
