I just had a breakthrough (of sorts)
I have the edited XML file, all the ports imaginable
open AND the DSS machine in the DMZ
When I try a live broadcast (which is what I really
want to do anyway) I get a partial connection. QT
"sees" the title of the broadcast and knows it's live.
There's an 8 second countdown "waiting for media" and
then "switiching transports" and another "waiting for
media" and then (~sigh~) it times out and says "live
broadcast - paused"
There is still nothing in the error log but the access
history reports that the .sdp was requested
