Helix clients much easier.

>I would like to announce that some tools for testing/qa of
>HelixPlayer and RealPlayer have been posted for use by the Helix
>Community. Two of these tools are still in a beta state but they have
>reached a level where we would like to share them. As more tools are
>developed, we will include them as well. Our goal is to provide the
>Helix Community with as many of the internal QA tools we use as is
>possible.

>All of these tools may be found here: http://helixqa.helixcommunity.org/

>Our current offering includes:
>- Community Content Server - Browse, download and stream rights free
>test content. Content includes rm, ra, smil, realtext, realpix, mp3,
>ogg, and 3gp formats. Most formats have multiple encoding types.
>Datatypes may be streamed via http from apache as well as rtsp
>streaming from three versions of the HelixServer.
>- Embedded Client JavaScript API - A page that allows interactive
>triggering of all supported Helix Client JavaScript calls for the
>embedded client. The page features an embedded client and triggers
>for testing all known JavaScript calls for the helix client. Text
>areas are provided to display callback messages and feedback from the
>triggered functions.
>- Embedded Client Generator - A script that creates embedded test
>clients using specified parameters. Both the 'Mozilla' and 'ActiveX'
>style plugins are supported.
>- Helix Community Test System - An online harness for test passes of
>helix clients. The Helix Community Test System is only available to
>partners at this time, how ever we are working on a version that will
>be useable by the entire community.
>- Local Content Suite - A subset of the content from the Community
>Content Server is available for download in both zip and tar.gz
>packages. This content is rights free and is provided for testing
>purposes.
