Immature trolling is not going to get you an answer.
QuickTime Broadcaster is most definitely *the easiest*, by far, live
broadcasting solution among all available possible solutions on all
platforms.
Did you ever try reading any documentation? Doing a live broadcast
with Broadcaster and QTSS/DSS is quite possibly the simplest task
Broadcaster can be used for. Thousands of people have used it for
this task, and dozens of users use it for that very purpose here
every day. We also currently stream 15 live television channels to an
entire campus of 55,000 people using QuickTime Broadcaster. So yeah,
it REALLY WORKS.
If you would explain what you have tried so far, what you can't get
to work, and exactly what problem you're having, perhaps you'll get
some help. How do you know DSS is successfully configured? You do
realize that Darwin Streaming Server is an open source product with
NO SUPPORT WHATSOEVER, don't you? If you want support why aren't you
running QuickTime Streaming Server on Mac OS X Server? Don't
pompously ask to not be sent to an ambiguous article when your (non-)
question is the most ambiguous thing of all. Doing live webcasting
isn't point-and-click simple with having absolutely no knowledge
about streaming and networking; that's just not the way it is. So
you're going to have to learn some of the cyber "BABBLE".
Now ask a mature question and maybe you'll get a mature answer.
You're going to have to configure DSS to accept an "Automatic
Unicast". Once that is set up, literally all you do is:
1. Open QuickTime Broadcaster and set up your audio and video
parameters to something appropriate for your application (i.e., since
this is from your house, you have to take your upstream bandwidth
into consideration. I can't tell you what your upstream bandwidth is,
and neither can QuickTime Broadcaster, but if it's a cable modem or
DSL connection, it's probably not more than 512kbps. This means you
MUST limit your audio and video settings to stay within that bitrate).
2. On the Network tab, set transmission method to "Automatic Unicast
(Announce)", set the host to your remote linux host, the file to
whatever you want your stream to be called, and set the username and
password to whatever you set them to on the DSS server for the
incoming RTSP announcements. Every other field is not required. Click
"Broadcast". That's it.
3. There is no step 3.
That is it. I am basing this advice on your statement "I have Darwin
(sic) Set up successfully on a remote Linux server". If you still
need to configure Darwin Streaming Server to accept incoming
automatic unicast announcements, I'm not going to do your legwork for
you. Google and this list's archives have more than enough
information on how to do that. Here, I'll even give you *exactly*
what you need:
You want the "Creating Users & the qtaccess file for Automatic
Unicast" section. There are 3 steps that you need to do. Once that is
done, that is it. That is the *only* section that you need. If you
still can't get it working, come back and ask SPECIFIC questions.
