This is a test

You will need RealPlayer to see this work

This is a test of a new yokeamebob that Jazz Biscuit have come up with, which allows you to embed RTE videos on your website/blog.

While every other broadcaster on the planet is looking to Youtube, RTE seem to move as quickly as the vatican when it comes to making changes, hence they are still using that awful Realplayer.

Here is the video from the One news about the Cork Rail Strike. let me know if it works for you.

If you want to try the application on your own blog go here.

    I have seen it read, and I can't recall where, that Realplayer will automatically reduce or increase the quality of the webstream depending on the quality of the net connection. whereas youtube will run at the same quality regardless, resulting in pausing frequently on slower connections.
  • I dont see why RTE insist on using Real Player . . .

    Excellent, all hail the jazz biscuit, if there was an award for best contribution to the blogosphere he should get it.

    The thing with realplayer is not every one has it and not every one trusts it. with youtube you only need flash player which i think most people would have.
