RE: Broadcasting to streaming server

Thanks for your reply Paul.

 

I don’t think that the problem is firewall related however, since we have turned it off.

 

We have had sending packets to a DSS working once before, but we would see only one still video frame that took a long time to appear and the packet sniffer reported a lot of ICMP “Destination Unreachable”s. We haven’t been able to get any audio or video packets to the DSS since. We’ve tried using all sorts of different ports to send to the DSS but nothing is working.

 

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Ailene

2. Open the appropriate ports on the Firewall. This allows the streaming server to be accessed via RTSP/RTP on the default ports and provides better use of network resources, lower speeds for client connections and less load on the server. The Ports that need to be open for unrestricted streaming include:
TCP Port 80: Used for signalling and streaming RTSP/HTTP (if enabled on server)
TCP Port 554: Used for RTSP
UDP Ports 6970 - 9999: used for UDP streaming.
Note a smaller range of UDP ports can usually be used (typically 6970-6999).
TCP Port 7070: Optionally used for RTSP (this port is used by Real Server, and QuickTime/Darwin can also be configured to use this port)
