In your case, you will want to create a ref movie; the easiest way to
do this is to open the live stream in QuickTime (if you have QuickTime
Pro, anyway) and then choose Save from the File menu. The movie you
save is a reference to the stream, sort of like a bookmark. Put that
reference movie on your web server alongside your other web page files,
and link to it using an embed tag.

Hi there,
I am sure that this has been asked before, because the documentation
on the
Apple site is just terrible. I want to embed a reference to a live
stream in
a Web page (a student radio station) so that users may either view the
stream from the Web Page or click on a link to open the QT Player. I
have:
* An XServe running QTSS
* A Dell running RedHat 6.2 with Apache and Darwin
* A G4 OSX running QT Broadcaster
One of the instructions on the Apple site says to:
* Use QT Broadcaster to create a reference movie
* Embed the reference movie in a Web Page
I did not see anything in QT Broadcaster that said "Make Reference
Movie,"
so I assummed that if I chose EXPORT-> MOVIE I would use the resulting
file
as my reference movie. I uploaded the file myrefmovie.mov to my Dell,
and
created a Web page with the following code:
THAT didn't work, I just got the annoying blue Q for my efforts. So I
looked
back at the documentation and elsewhere it said:
* Use makerefmov to create a reference movie that points to your .sdp
file
* Embed this reference movie in your Web page
I used makerefmov and I set the url to
rtsp://myxserve.edu/mysdpfile.sdp
I used the same code in the html file. Still, only an annoying blue Q!
Finally, I read elsewhere on the Apple site that I should embed the
reference movie in the page AND use a tag called qtsrc. So, using the
movie
created by makerefmov, I created a Web page with the following embed
command:
If anyone can give me some advice on how to make this work, I would
greatly
appreciate it.
I am not using Darwin in this scenario, although it is running on the
Web
server.
Streaming on Port 80 is enabled on the XServe.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Susan Jacobson
