RE: [Moderator Action] Problem with SMIL from a webserver

part of the reason might be that you're referencing a playlist file (rpm or
ram) as a straight rm file.  

i think this will cause it problems.

reference the smil file with a simple rpm file and it will play properly
from the server i think.

basically you have a system that looks like this as far as a sequence of
orders...

webpage -->  rpm --> smil --> content (jpg, rm etc) 

the actual smil file appears correct, but the browsers don't know how to
actually parse smil files, which is why you need to use the rpm file, which
is setup to open with the real (or quicktime) smil players...

etc.etc...

hope this helps.
