List,
I have successfully set up QTSS 4.1.1. I have broadcasted a live feed and listened to it. I'm streaming MP3 playlists, at least in theory, and hence my post...
I have created a playlist of two mp3 files. Both files were exported to 64bit mp3 from iTunes.
The files are in the QTSS Media folder (/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Movies). The playlist appears to be playing in the Playlist admin window.
In fact I can do two (2) things... play the stream in RealPlayer (Win) and play the stream in iTunes when using "Open Stream..." from the Advanced menu.
*BUT* I *cannot* play the same stream in QT6, on Windows or Mac. QT6 opens the player window with "Loading..." Clicking the play button displays "Buffering..." but stops there. I have tried everything that I can think of to debug this behavior. QT6 never starts playing. The Connected Users Admin window does show the connection including an incrementing Bytes Sent, but nothing plays. This includes the following behavior:
One open "Buffering..." QT6 player.
One open and playing RealPlayer window.
One open "Buffering..." QT6 player on another machine.
All three (3) connections display in the Connected Users windows.
Very frustrating.
The stream is on an Intranet/LAN link so I don't believe that bandwidth is an issue (I could be wrong here, but have seen the bandwidth problem manifest itself differently on my home cable link so have not considered it heavily). I have checked my firewall. Open for connections as per the 8000 port specified in my /Library/WebServer/Documents/playlist.m3u file. Shown below is the one single line in the file (per the documentation):
http://serverip:8000/playlistStreamMountPoint
Is there anything I may have missed?
Looking forward to feedback and suggestions! Thanks in advance!
Tim
