Vido Broadcast Testing

You can verify that your player is working at any time by using our video test file. It has exactly the same interface as the live broadcast, so if you can play the video test file, you should be able to see the live broadcast. To test your player, click here.

For those who are interested, the test clip is 1 minute shot from the 2005 Loy Krathong festival in Chiangmai. Literally thousands of hot air balloons (Kom Loy) were sent in the sky at one time. It was most impressive.

RealVideo Players

Here are some ways to play RealVideo:

  • Install the latest Alternative RealPlayer. This is a program that plays RealAudio/Video without the built-in monitoring embedded in the programs from real.com.
  • Install the latest RealPlayer. It is free from www.real.com. The paid version of the RealPlayer is not required - download the free version. Note: privacy experts say that this player may send information to real.com without your permission or knowledge. Be advised.
  • Add the Tara Plugin to WinAmp. The plugin is available from www.free-codecs.com
  • Install the Core Media Player, which plays almost anything, including RealVideo.
  • Install the VLC player from www.videolan.org. It plays anything.
