Re: QTSS -> iTunes error

hi everyone,
i've got QTSS running an mp3 playlist inside my network, but i can't
seem to access it - i know QTSS is working properly because i can listen
to a different playlist it is streaming. (i'm trying to be as thorough
as possible and include everything)

The correct way to access MP3 streams from QTSS is by using a URL like this:


   http://myserver.com:8000/mp3_mount_point

Type this URL into a streaming MP3 compatible client, such as iTunes, under the Advanced menu, "Open Stream..."

To make it work easily on a variety of MP3 clients, and serve the url via a web browser, I'd suggest embedding your URL into a .m3u file, such as this:

   File:  play.m3u
   http://myserver.com:8000/mp3_mount_point

And then host the file play.m3u on a webserver, and setup some HTML to point to it, like this:

   <a href="play.m3u">Play MP3 stream</a>

 the playlist in iTunes that works is located at
 rtsp://myserver/testtest
the other one
 rtsp://myserver/3_21_03 - is not working.

As noted above, MP3 playlist do not use RTSP url's, but instead HTTP - and you must make sure that you specify the correct TCP port, such as :8000. If you happen to have HTTP streaming enabled in QTSS, then you can either put :80 in your HTTP url, or else possibly even leave out the port since HTTP on the streaming client typically defaults to port 80 anyways.


i get the error "the streaming server cannot accept any more connections
at this time" - which isn't right, because i'm the only one
testing/listening to it.

Not sure why you'd be getting this error. However, make sure you are using an HTTP mp3 streaming url to try to access the stream correctly.


the one that isn't working is one 45 minute track, and the file is
intact and working properly. i know this because i can listen to it if i
connect to the server and open the file directly, but the stream is just
not happening.
any advice?
thanks
