Hello Donnie,
re: v239, I was referring to having you use one of the
posted Darwin Streaming Server 3 Public Preview packages
to regress the problem - we posted these around October, 2000
back during QT Live!
However, since you're running LinuxPPC, we never posted
a LinuxPPC build, so the posted DSS 3 Public Preview binary
tars wouldn't help in your case (for your platform).
I don't necessarily want to jump to a conclusion, but
since I don't have handy a LinuxPPC machine to try this on,
you might have run into a platform-specific issue. Again,
this is not a certainly, but neither can it yet be ruled-out.
I did give your Playlist broadcast config file (below)
a look, and one minor thing I noticed is that you had a trailing
space after the IP address "206.100.149.131 ". I did some
quick checking with Red Hat Linux 6.2 (Intel) version of
PlaylistBroadcaster, and it didn't have a problem with
trailing spaces, so I doubt this is the issue.
Another thing you could try doing is invoking your Playlist
Broadcaster application with -D, like this:
root# PlaylistBroadcaster -D -d broadcast
It should display extra (D)ebugging info and also let you
visually verify that both your playlist file and broadcast
config file were properly parsed. The next lower-case (-d)
causes PlaylistBroadcaster to stay attached to the
current terminal process (rather than spawning as a
subprocess). That way you can easily control-C out of
it, rather than try to hunt down the process or use
PlaylistBroadcaster -s 1 to try to stop it later.
Good luck...
