Re: .qtl



Hi Ted,

How do I "link" to a .qtl file from a web page?

What I want to do is have web page with a simple list of my movies that you can click the desired movie and QT Player will open and begin the stream.

What you need to do is have an href to the actual .qtl files on your server. Make sure the .qtl files are uploaded to the web server. In this example:


<html>
   <head>
      <title>
        Title
      </title>
   </head>
   <body>
      Test
      <p>
         <a href="America.qtl">America</a>
      </p>
   </body>
</html>

you will need the America.qtl file to be in the same folder as the HTML.

=====================================
A separate question, how is the function of creating a movie playlist in QTSS suppose to work? I can see how to drag over files and to select Play in the next page, but then what? How does someone watch them?


Once you create a playlist you need to start the playlist from the admin tool. For example, let's say you just made a playlist that you called "america" and its mount point is "america.sdp". When you click on "Save Changes" at the bottom of the window where you added the movies to the playlist, you're taken to a window where you see the list of "Available Playlists". You'll see your "america" playlist in the list with a status of "Stopped". Click on the little play button (right arrow) that is to the right of the playlist name. This will start the playlist.

Now, to watch/listen to your playlist open the QT Player, select File-> Open URL... and enter the address of the playlist. In this case, since the playlist is just at "america.sdp" you'd enter this in the dialogue box (replacing with the name of your server):

rtsp://your_streaming_server_name/america.sdp

From there the playlist will behave as any other streaming media coming off the QTSS.

Hope this helps.  Any more questions bring them to the list.
