Checking the QTSS FAQ, I found that it's fully compatible with MacOS X Client, even if this configuration is not supported by Apple. The only disclaimer is that AppleCare does not support QTSS on OS X Client.

QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) can be installed without any problem even on MacOS X client. I know that this could be a stupid hint, but in every ReadMe about QTSS MacOS X Server 10.1 is required.

streaming uses port 80
Yes, I got streaming to work, now how do I deinstall to free up port 80?
streaming uses port 80
Two things:
streaming uses port 80
As thefinite sais.. you can turn stop QTSS from using port 80 in the admin area -
streaming uses port 80
Okay, I could do that.
nit
It is "Mac OS X" vs "Mac OS X Server".
nit
whew!
Be kind to each other...
No need for nasty words here; bhines is correct, there's no such thing as OS X Client. In the case of the article, however, it helped to distinguish it from Server, so I left it in.
nit
You might want to look up the definition of "Troll". It is more closely related to your post than mine. :)
nit
Well, no, there's no product named "Mac OS X Client." But everyone knows what it means, and it makes sense to use that phrase to distinguish it from Mac OS X Server. At Apple, the people who support Mac OS X Server use that distinction all the time.
Forget port 80, there is 554 and 7070
Personal preference is not to use port 80 for streaming. The QTSS, which runs under Mac OS 10.1.2 just fine, also serves up streams on ports 554 and 7070. In iTunes, just open a stream thus Advanced->Open Stream and enter:
rtsp://localhost:554/playlistname If you don't type in the :554 then the default port 80 is attempted, which of course will fail if port 80 is not used by QTSS and there is a local web server running. This example assumes you're sitting on the QTSS server (localhost resolves to the local system, also to 127.0.0.1). QTSS 4.0 is one hell of a tool, and I can't wait for the QuickTIme Broadcaster to come out with QuickTime 6. - John

I'm having some problems just getting the http working,
Forget port 80, there is 554 and 7070
Ditto, I can stream to the local computer using local, ip address assigned, www assigned, however from a distance no go unless I enable :80 streaming.
can u help me?
my qtss on os x server give me 2 error message: one in the qt player it says that it cannot found a resource fot the movie; one in the explorer/netscape window like a bad request... what i can do?
Works somewhat.. well not really
I finally got the damn thing "playing" .. you need to have an MP3 broadcast password and have it relay to localhost, with a password.. however, streams only seem to play for about 5 seconds to external clients. Granted, this is from a G4 on a cable modem, everyone gets an iTunes buffering window, then it plays for 5 seconds, then nothing. I figure it has something to do with upload bandwidth but I don't see a way to cap it. You can't set the Max. Throughput to anything less than 16kpbs (you get password/mount errors for some odd reason). It will stream at bitrate you have the media at, no matter what. How can this be fixed?
Works somewhat.. well not really
I've gotten an MP3 playlist working - at least with iTunes on three LAN-based Macintoshes. I tried to get Realplayer on a PC to pick up the stream but IT gave me the exact same symptoms you noted in your post - about 5 seconds of un-smooth playback, then a full stop with no messages to explain the behavior. I did not have to set up any QTSS relays. Though the default relay is active, it has all blank settings.
For some reason I cannot get QuickTime Player to pick up the MP3 stream at all.
Works somewhat.. well not really
I've exact the same problem on playlist, play for 5-8 sec, and it stop for no reason. I've tried using different port, 544, 7070, 8000, 8001, none of them works. I tried iTune, winamp on PC, same results.
QT STREAMING WORKS ON OS X
To stream your mp3s on OS X you need a lower the MP3 bit rate. I have a cable modem with 128k upload I was having the same problem streaming for only 5 seconds with MP3s at 128 kbps + then it would cut out. I found that if I used an mp3 ripped at 96kbps or lower it would stream without problems you do lose quality but I can now listen to my entire mp3 collection from where ever.
How you connect to a stream.
MP3 streams:
apache and qtss
ok, so is there anyway to run an apache server on port 80 so people can access your website from anywhere, and at the same time run qtss on another port so people can listen to your broadcast from anywhere?
apache and qtss
Of course, they work fine at the same time, just put them on different ports.
QT Streaming Server on OS X Client
How do we get QTSS? On the Apple page, the only way to get QuickTime Steaming Server is through the Mac OS X Server 10.2.5 update. I see that we can get Darwin Streaming Server, but your article seems to be about QTSS not DSS.
Where to get QTSS
QTSS 4.1.1 is still available as a separate download from Apple here.
The one bundled with the OS X Server update is 4.1.3, but I don't know what's changed between the two.
QT Streaming Server on OS X Client
I am beginner with QTSS. I have set up a QTTS in my computer ( a server one). I have try to make a playlist and test it. In fact, I made a test in another computer in the same network, it works well with video files ( .mov), but with mp3 files, it doesn't work. |
