Okay. Im about fed up with my real player files on my website . Every time someone tries to watch them the link points to a local file on my computer instead of the files on my website. I have no idea what is wrong. I have recieved many complaints about it. Does any one possibly know what could be wrong and how to fix it?

The Soundtrack ones appear to be links to cdnow and work properly - the few others I tried don't work properly with Navigator (downloads as text rather than spawning RealPlayer) - some of the links however appear to be broken but do look like they're setup properly - except they have spaces in the filename (eg http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/De Martino9.rm) which Xoom unfortunately doesn't support. My advice? Remove the spaces from the filenames and create .ram files to reference the .rm's by manually creating them. It's fairly easy - just fire up Notepad and create the file <insertFilenameHere>.ram and inside put the link to the .rm file. Eg for say (from College Bored) panties(240KB) linking to http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/Helen6.rm you'd instead link to http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/Helen6.ram and put inside the .ram http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/Helen6.rm . Easy, neh? :)

This is how I've been opening the files. What you do is go to "Open Location" which is under "File" on your RealPlayer and type in: http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/313-1.rm to view the first part of JA http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/312-1.rm to view the first part of JAW When you're ready for the second and third part of the episodes, you just change it to: http://members.xoom.com/QuinnM17/313-2.rm I hope that helps.
RealPlayer
Mak sure if you type in the file and Real Player tells you your missing a plug-in to try it a different way. Example: If 312-1.rm doesn't work use 312-01.rm. I had to make them that way because I have sound and video files that would overwrite eachother if I named them the same.
Thanks Sailorfu. I hope this makes everything better for everyone frustrated.
