* Running DSS as a non-root user.
Since you've changed this to be 8554 (in the streamingserver.xml), you
also
need to change it in the streamingadminserver.pl file:
Normally, the Streaming Web Admin expects to be able to communicate
with the
streaming server on TCP port 554.
So what you need to do is edit 'streamingadminserver.pl', and search
for the
following string (around line 156 of the streamingadminserver.pl file)
"qtssPort", "554",
Change the "554" to be "8554" (in your case). Save the Perl file back
to disk,
and then the newly edited streamingadminserver.pl process.
* Icecast/Shoutcast YP capabilities?
Thanks for your suggestion. Since Darwin Streaming Server is an open
source project, anyone is welcome to implement features like this and
submit
it back to the streaming server project (CVS).
* MP3 streams speeding up and then back down.
QTSS/DSS can work with variable bitrate MP3 live streaming, but does
require
that the encoded Khz (ie. 22khz, or 44.1Khz sample rate) be consistent.
Which brings me to my last observation:
* ID3/stream info not showing up in MP3 player
We know about this, and have reproduced the problem. We hope to address
this in a future update.
