Apple Broadcaster with Darwin Streaming Server



Hi -

I am just starting out with the Apple Broadcaster and Darwin Streaming Server, so please excuse my ignorance. I am trying to setup the following:

--------------
Camera |
--------------
|
|
v
--------------------
G4 OSX Powerbook |
Broadcaster |
169.254.47.10 (foo)|
-------------------
|
| automatic unicast
| mystream.dsp
v
-------------- Firewall |
|
v ================ Internet=========== <------- rtsp://host.domain.com/mystream.dsp
|
|
|
v (host.domain.com) -------------- Firewall |
|
v ------------------------
Linux Fedora1 |
Darwin Streaming Server|
169.254.47.11 |
-----------------------|


The G4 and the Linux box are actually on the same LAN, but eventually I want to take the G4 elsewhere, connect it to the internet, broadcast to my Linux box and have that Linux box stream over the internet.

At the moment, I can't even set this up to have the G4 broadcast over the LAN to the powerbook, so that's my first question:

1. Using automatic unicast, I always get 'Broadcaster Error: Disconnected (-3285)'. What does this error mean? /var/log/system.log on my G4 tells me 'fix_prebinding quitting' and 'Broadcaster could not be launched prebound'. I don't get this error when I use manual unicast, but then I have no clue what to do next. The Broadcaster doc says exporting teh *.sdp file. I did that, dropped it into the movies folder in my Linix box, but I always get a 404 Not Found when I try to request it from a Quicktime player.
2. I actually had this working over the LAN yesterday. No idea what happened since. I did however, after a long time, figure out that clients needed to request rtsp://host.domain.com:7070/mystream.dsp (I guess without the port defaults to port 80, which I don't want to use?)
3. I realize I have to poke all kinds of holes into my firewall, but can someone tell me exactly which outgoing and incoming ports I need to open for which protocols? The Darwin Streaming Server Admin doc says


Ports used to communicate with client 554, 7070 TCP or 80
TCP Ports used to send media 6970-6999 UDP, or 80 TCP
Ports used to receive broadcast 10000-65635 UDP
Ports server will stream through 554 RTSP 7070 TCP or 80 TCP
Default port typically used by MP3 broadcasters 8000 TCP
Port used for remotely managing QTSS or DSS 1220 TCP

So I guess I have to open 554 and 7070 TCP incoming and outgoing, 1220 TCP incoming (if I want to admin the server remotely), 6970-6999 UDP outgoing, and 10000-65635 UDP incoming?

Any help with any of the above very much appreciated
