i believe it searches for a cookie once you login to real networks.
i think this because once i log in, i close realone player and then i can use real alternative to watch the streams via links i made.
can no one make a script for this? would be a hell of alot better to have this on my tv then my monitor were we can hardly watch it with more then 1 person.

flying cow: you are quite right about it using cookies. for whatever reason, i could not authenticate at work, so what i did was export my cookies from internet explorer at home, and import them at work. now, like yourself, i am able to watch using real alternative. however, i was able to watch via xbmc which is much nicer then my little 15.4 inch laptop screen... doing so is a little more tedious then i had hoped.
while running a packet sniffer on my windows box, i connect to one of the streams in real alternative. once it is playing, i check the packet sniffer for traffic on port 554. now it appears this is the way the big brother stream works:
1. we connect to one of the streams.
2. it validates the cookie you have saved.
3. it then redirects you to a new url for the stream:
eq: rtsp://rx-wes-sea38.rbn.com:554/farm/*/cbs/cbs/bb6/secure/live/quad_225.rm?rbnkey=2005081814573ca991dfc04f8996ee99f02578319bc6&case=ok
this new url is time sensitive, but you have a good minute or two to copy this into a .strm file, ftp it up to your xbox, and start it from xbmc > video > yourfile.strm
now obviously this is tedious because everytime you want to change to a different process, you need to first view it in real alternative, copy the new url from your packet sniffer log, and then upload it to your xbox as a .strm file. i am looking into automating the process, but have not been able to do so yet.
i am hoping someone with more network socket experience then i have can create an app to automate this by sending the apprpropriate headers and parsing the responses on port 554 to superpass.real.com.

thank you prestige works well. very little trouble setting it up (except finding a suitable tcp sniffer).
only problem i seem to be having is the sound is not sync'd with the video. any tips on a solution?
