The webcams for UK BB's actual url's (connect straight to the server, none of that freeserve advert crap) are here:

Cam 1:
rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energis-squared.com/broadcast/*/encoder/live/bb1.rm

Cam 2:
rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energis-squared.com/broadcast/*/encoder/live/bb2.rm

Fan cam:
rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energis-squared.com/broadcast/*/encoder/live/bb3.rm

Audio:
rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energis-squared.com/broadcast/*/encoder/live/bb4.rm

Spin Cam:
rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energis-squared.com/broadcast/*/encoder/live/spincam.rm

Just 'open location' in real player and paste a url in.

I can get all these streams working through my Real Player except for the first one, however, it does work when viewing through the Big Brother website any suggestions as to where i'm going wrong?

BTW I can get Pan Cam working through either method, it does load up but all I get is the black screen with the audio.

i'd imagine camera 1and pan cam have the biggest demand so getting to them to work will be hard.

i don't spose anyone has any urls of more cameras cause at 2 last night it's was bloody hard getting a camera that worked, i know last year they had the member's area ones that seemed to be more reliable.

Can't connect at all to any of the camaras. Keep getting the error message "Unable to locate server. This server does not have a DNS entry. Please check the server name in the URL and try again"

I have a NTL Cable modem at 512 kbits/sec. Greatful for any help. Wish they had gone with Media player it's much better.

Normally I would agree but the problem I always have with it is that often content is poorley encoded and all I get is the first frame of video but the sound carries on perfectly, this maybe because I only have a 56K modem but when a stream is designed for the masses it should be optimised for a modem. Realplayer always deals with the low bandwith well however as earlier on I was watching the BB stream full screen and everything ran smoothly and wasn't as pixellated as some SkyDigital channels!

I think when the E4 stream starts it should ease the pressure on the webcams so they should be easier to connect to.

Stll can't connect, just have to wait and see.

dbuk, if you think that the realplayer BB feed is more pixellated than some of you Sky channels then there is something wrong with your digibox. The sky channels should be crystal clear. Sky channels are aleast 10 to 20 better in quality than anything I have seen with my broadband connection. I have a slow first generation pace digibox.

Alright I'll admit I was exagerating a little, but they were quite good for my meager 56k modem!
