Hello Jean-Claude,

In QTSS 3, the Streaming configuration file is XML. It is
located in /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml.
To bind QTSS to a particular IP address, do it like this:
1. First stop the QTSS server
kill off the QuickTimeStreamingServer processes.
2. Edit the file and locate this line:
/etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
3. Locate the following line:
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">0</PREF>
4. Edit it accordingly:
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">12.34.56.78</PREF>
>The admin server on port 1220 is running, also the rtp/rstp on port 554.

Check in til.info.apple.com, and search under "streaming"
or "quicktime and streaming", or else "qtss".
>How do we configure DSS for streaming hinted movies (copied in
>/usr/local/movies) ??
This is a setting also in the /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
file.
<PREF NAME="movie_folder">/usr/local/movies</PREF>
It is more easily set via the new Web Admin (connect with a
web browser via port 1220, and change the movie directory setting)
>May someone, give a list of all configuration needed ?? (do we need
>playlist, etc. )
You only need PlaylistBroadcaster if you want to create
"live" streaming playlists of files, similar to a TV or
internet streaming radio station. The files are prepared
and hinted in advanced. Look in til.info.apple.com and
search under "playlistbroadcaster".
>Some sample html files should be of great help.

>Greatings from Paris !
Apple's TIL (Tech Info Library) contains all the help and
documentation and is searchable.
