In a desperate fight to keep my company from switching to WindowsMedia I
have just downloaded and installed the Darwin Streaming Server pr3 on one of
our Linux boxes. It seems to be running fine, I can view the sample movie
using the URL rtsp://xxxx.xx/sample.mov from the QT Player application.
But if I try to embed it on an HTML page, using <embed
src="rtsp://xxxx.xx/sample.mov"; width="320" height="240" autoplay="true"
controller="true">, I get a broken image and a dialog if I click it saying
the plugin was found but there was an error running it.
What I believe is happening is that the RealPlayer plugin is used to display
the embedded object, and failing to show the QT stream from DSS. (If I enter
the RTSP URL in RealPlayer it tells me it cannot display this format).
My client environment is the typical: MSIE 5.0, QT Player 4.1, RealPlayer 8
on Win98.
How can I make shure that movies embedded in the pages are shown using the
QT plugin?
Pardon me if this is a FAQ, but I've spent two hours searching for info
without result, and the mailing list archives only go 2 months back...
Regards,
Jesper
