John,
Thanks! This worked for QT6. But broke RealPlayer because it does not support the ICY protocol.
Where I'm confused is what is documented in the QTSS Admin and online guide (I do RTFM ;) ) vs. what you have just demonstrated fixes the problem. Possibly the following quotes will help clarify my problem:
On page 33 of the QTSS Admin guide it specifically states
"Creating Links to MP3 Playlists
"If you want to put an MP3 playlist on the web, you need to create an audio metafile that directs the web browser to your playlist and opens the user's MP3 player. THere are two types of audio metafile you can use: M3U and PLS. To create the audio metafile, use a text editor to create the file ... include the proper extension and the end of the filename, and format it as described here.
"The M3U file contains a single line of text in this format:
"http:///your.ip.addr:8000/mountpoint
...
"Place the .m3u or .pls file in the same directory as your web site and link to it just as you would link any other downloadable file. Most web browsers are configured to open .m3u and .pls files using the user's MP3 player."
Now I don't mean to be a "rules lawyer" (if I can usurp the term), but this *does not work* with QT6...
Changing my "one line m3u text file" to read:
icy://your.ip.addr:8000/mountpoint
worked for QT6, but broke RealPlayer.
Now reading the QTSS Admin manual further, I see John, that on page 28 that QTSS "is intended for shoutcast/icecast-compatible live streams (such as those created by a streaming playlist)..." so something is not right.
Can you elaborate?
Many thanks again for the QT6 fix!
Tim

In the past, when RealPlayer and iTunes worked (i've done a lot of streaming development) and the QuickTime player didn't, using the icy://server:port/mountpoint made the QuickTime player play.
