ISight with QuickTime Broadcaster or QuickTime Streaming Server

Could some one tell me if it is possible to use iSight with QuickTime Broadcaster or QuickTime Streaming Server
Thank you
G4 DP Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yup. It is. Those, and other apps that will work with iSight, are linked in Some Applications You Can Use With iSight.
See the Apple links and tutorials for specifics on the uses of these powerful applications.
For a quick "how-to" on capturing video on your Mac using QT Broadcaster, scroll down to the Capturing Video with QuickTime Broadcaster section of this article on Making Movies with the Apple iSight .
If you want professional level details, see the relevant sections of the QuickTime Developer Connection.

Issue with Information broadcasting and pre-cal server in SAP BI

Hi Experts,
I have issue with information Broadcasting and Pre-cal server. I have a worrkbook whcih runs from information broadcasting in pre-cal server. Workbook is desinged on single query and workbook contains visual basic code. workbook has a variable which is controlled by Control query in information broadcasting.
I have 20 employees every month I need to send workbook via e-mail from information broadcasting. The problem is sometimes all 20 employees will recieve e-mails and sometimes not. I identified there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
because after workbook calculation in pre-cal server is not pushing to SOST so there is something wrong in workbook or in pre-cal server.
I closely observed pre-cal server front end log. There are few operations performing on workbook in pre-cal server
like Open workbook, Calculate workbook, Save woorkbook and close workbook. In success case pre-cal sever is performing all the operations but in failure case pre-cal server is missing Close workbook case.
Below log In pulled from pre-cal server
Can you please tell what could be the problem.

Hi Ravikanth,
Thank you very much for the reply
I went into RSPRECADMIN and clicked on 'Display Current Queue'. There we have 3 sections
1) Queue Overview of Open Precalculations
I can see this section is always blank after running IB also
2) Queue Overview of Current Precalculations
In this section I can see an entry after running IB and duration is changing. but some time workbook in this section will never processed but the duration column is changing may be something is happening at this stage.
If the entry is not proccessed in this section and IB SM37 job will never end. I manually cancelled the job from SM50.
Don't why the workbook is taking long time and will never end even though I cancelled the SM37 IB job.
3) Queue Overview of Proccessed Error-Free Precalculations
All the error free workbooks which means all pre-cal server completed workbook calculation and sent to SOST.
I manually ran the workbook for all the 20 employees I can't find any pop-up message (earlier we have pop-up windows appearing because of VB code and when report returns no data and we fixed the pop-up issues)
Can you please help me further to trace the error.
Thank you
Narendra

Quicktime Broadcaster crashes after a few seconds

Hi
This will probably be all too vague for a good answer but thought I'd ask anyway...
Does have experience of Quicktime Broadcaster being unstable? I've tried using it with a USB webcam (logitech pro 9000) device that works fine with other apps on the Mac and an XP laptop but once broadcasting (to Darwin STreaming Server on another machine) QT Broadcaster crashes after a few seconds or minutes, or when you try to use another application. Looks like memory conflicts but it worked for much longer periods of time earlier this year but after the usual upgrades to 10.4.xx (to 10.4.11) it's become unuseable.
I was wondering if anyone knew if upgrading to 10.5.xx would sort the problem out?
Any help or pointers much appreciated.
Bill

I'm using the latest version of QT Broadcaster (1.5.2) on a MacBook running OS 10.5.6, using an old external iSight camera for the video input, and I can broadcast for hours without problems. I would recommend an update to Leopard. I might also suggest that you perform a hardware test and check your DRAM, just to be on the safe side.

Stream from broadcaster to streaming server

Hi,
Is it possible to connect with broadcaster to the streaming server for relaying?
I can only figure out how to configure the streaming server to connect to the broadcaster – but I have the broadcaster within a clients network with private ip.
Best regards
Anders Ekström

I seem to be having the same problem. I want to show "the others" from the dark side that Live Meeting just doesn't get it. I'm in a company who has decided to use Live Meeting and we have many people in Canada who are about to puke! Our Canadians use Macs a lot and with Live Meeting we can "view" the webcast but can't HEAR the webcast. We Mac users have to phone into a conference call to be able to "hear" the audio of the dark side's webcast.
Now, I have QT 7.1.3 QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.1. I have a Canon GL2, iSight, great mikes, a DSL broadband connection w/router, I'm using a PowerBook G4 with 512K RAM.
I've tried to use "Broadcaster" and sent the file to another iMac and we were not able to send the broadcast from my computer to the remote compter. I've also tried this with a WinTel computer on the same network without any luck.
Is this possible with QT or do I have to have a dedicated server to do this?

Broadcaster, Darwin Streaming Server, IP problem?

I'm pretty sure this is a DNS issue. Hopefully someone has some simple advice out there.
I'm using an MacBookPro, Broadcaster and Darwin Streaming Server.
Attempting to create a .mov file that will deliver a live stream.
1) I created a new QT player and assigned the movie rtsp://192.168.0.105/myteststream
2) Then I saved the movie as whatever.mov
3) I then uploaded whatever.mov to a remote server.
Now if I call on this file from my local network "http://www.mydomain/whatever.mov" (using any comp here - Mac, PC) I can view the streaming movie with no problem.
However, anyone else is unable to view it. They get a broken QT error. (10060)
I'm thinking that the "192.168.0.105" IP is incorrect. (local?)

I'm thinking that the "192.168.0.105" IP is incorrect. (local?)
That is a local IP address, and it will only work for someone within your network. To find the correct IP address, go to this page from any computer on the LAN and note down what it reports.
You may also need to open ports used by RTSP on the firewall if you have one, and configure port forwarding on the router so that those ports are forwarded to the local IP of the computer hosting the stream.

Quicktime Broadcaster: Only with OS X Server?

Talk about austerity! I have what must be the simplest set-up. PowerMac G5, 12 Mbps cable connection (ethernet), iSight, and QT Broadcaster. The sum of that is that I immediately get a 5420 cannot connect to server error. There is nothing in QTBB Help, and I find nothing by searching Apple's support files. I don't even find anything that could qualify as instructions on how to use the application.
Does it work only with the $500 OS X Server?

Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5 and Darwin Streaming Server 5.5

Since i upgraded to Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5 (as i want to use H264) i can't use any more the Automatic Unicast (Announce). It says 'Broadcast error disconnected (-3285). I updated to Darwin Streaming Server 5.5 (on SuSE 9.1 Linux on a hired server with 2 IP's, one binded to DSS, the other to Apache to enable Streamin over port 80) but it doesn't help. I tried with Wirecast instead and everything workes fine (at least it created the .sdp file correctly) so i don't think the problem is in the Streaming Server Set up. Anyone has experienced something similar with the new Broadcaster?

We use 10.3.9 server here on three different machines. Two of the three disconnect from Broadcaster after about half an hour, with the -3285. The third system will not even allow a connection to start, ever. I am thinking that the automatic unicast file has a permissions issue. All of the three servers have Open Directory enabled. I want to turn it off, but I am not sure what will happen to the rest of the server's abilities if I do. Does anyone run in an Open Directory disabled configuration?

Quicktime Streaming Server Live broadcast Issue

Hi All,
If someone could please help me with this, I have a Quicktime Streaming server set up in our DMZ with Nicecast being used to broadcast up to the server. When I enter the URL of the station in Internet Explorer Windows Media Player launches without any issue and plays the live broadcast. When I try to launch the URL in Firefox or Google Chrome for some reason the Quicktime plugin attempts to play the broadcast, plays about 10 seconds and stops. Any thoughts to why that is?
Thank You,
Brad

The embedded link plays on Windows in IE 7, Firefox 3.5 (Mac and Win), and Safari 4.0.2 Mac, all with QT 7.6.2. Below are some screenshots of the chat window where the stream plays from:
*This is Firefox 3.5 Mac:*
*This is Safari 4.0.2 Mac:*
*This is Firefox 3.5 Win:*
*This is IE 7:*
The issue with Safari and Firefox in the top two images is the code on the page needs to be fixed. This is what's there:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE=" icy://riotradio.dc-uoit.ca/riotradio" >
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true" >
<EMBED PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" SRC="http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" QTSRC="icy://riotradio.dc-uoit.ca/riotradio" AUTOPLAY="true" >
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
and that's why you see the little QT window next to the 'Riot Radio' graphic and why you see the player window with the -2048 error code below it in the Safari screenshot. If the code is changed to this:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50">
<EMBED PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" SRC="http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" AUTOPLAY="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
the little QT box should disappear and the player will display in the area below the 'Riot Radio' graphic. However, the '<OBJECT>' and '<EMBED>' tags are deprecated in favor of using Apple's javascript implementation of calling QT in web pages. This is also the reason that the QT plugin doesn't load in IE 7 (last image) -the 'Q' with the '?' mark on it.
Here's a sample of what could be used:
<head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
QT_WriteOBJECT('http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov','310','305',' ',
'autoplay','true',
'controller','true',
'align','middle');
</script>
</body>
You can pass this link:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
along to your coder to have him look at what is recommended for QT embedding using javascript to make it work with IE 7/8 -it will also work with FF and Safari. The 'AC_QuickTime.js' javascript, shown in the code sample, can be downloaded from the page linked above and placed on the site.

My first question here.Is it possible to bounce live from logic into quicktime broadcaster quicktime streaming server?o

I would like to broadcast (webcast) live music only.Is it possible to live bounce from logic to quicktime broadcaster/quicktime steaming server,and thus to mobile me ?

Thanks, Evan. Your first suggestion works - although with a lot more difficulty as the Quicktime Pro I have is 5.0 and in Mac OS 9.2. If I listen to it in QuickTime Pro 5.0 after exporting - it is very jerky but the final AIF is okay. I can now burn the CD in iTunes. I probably should upgrade to QuickTime Pro 7 (.whatever) but I am leary about putting out the extra cash if it won't export Midi Files. Any experience with that?
Also, I do want to get the hang of converting midi data to audio in LE7.01. That way I can add singing to the songs for the beginner students to learn.
Maybe I'll have a better feel for that once I finish the Training Series book.
Some of the advantages of keeping it in midi format is the ability to transpose. Some students don't sing in the key the works are written in.
Your second idea did not work for me. Maybe because I don't have Toast on this computer (it was attached to my iBook). When I opened Toast, chose AUDIO and dragged the midifile to it, it rejected the offer as not being in Audio format.
Thanks so much for your help.

Quicktime Streaming Server will not accept Quicktime Broadcaster connection

I am running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard server on a parallels virtual machine on my Mac Pro. Since the parallels server cannot "see" the video camera and microphone since it is parallels, i want to stream from Quicktime Broadcaster from the host Mac Pro to the QSS. I have tried everything from Sunday and i keep getting a Disconnected (-3285) error. I have set the login password in server admin, i have used the web based management option, i have created relays and then deleted them, i have used the Quicktime Administrator's manual and have gone in through the Terminal to adjust the password, and so on. My goal is to stream from the host to the QSS server so that i can host a webcast to multiple users who would go in through rtp in QUicktime. nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Just to add to this. I followed several instructions in the Administration guide for both OSX and Darwin. I went into the qtusers file and verified that the username that i want to use to broadcast was in there. It was. I went into the qtgroups file and made sure that there was a group called broadcaster and there was. i also added a group called admin and added another username and made sure that was in qtusers as well. I followed the steps to create a qtaccess file and put a copy in the default media folder. i also tried having broadcaster send its mystream file right onto the server's. I know that QTSS is talking to QTB because it does request a username and password. I put the ones that are in the config files in there over and over again and it does not work...

SDI Capture Card that works with QuickTime Streaming Server/Encoder

I can't seem to find any major SDI video card manufacturer that has drivers which work on a MAC OSX Server using QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster. Apple has suggested we try LiveChannel and I have yet to contact them. I have however contacted AJA, BlackMagic, View cast, etc. and none have tested their cards against QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster.
We need to be able to do Multicasting
Any help is appreciated!

Sorry but I think I was impatient when I wrote that.
After monitoring the .upcoming file, I saw the new entries appear after a while.
You can modify the .playlist file at runtime without updating QTSS. It will read that file automatically after a while.
It seems to work fine now.
Thanks

Minimum requirements for Quicktime Streaming Server with +200 viewers

I'm planning on buying an Xserve to use it for streaming live video to about 200 or more viewers with Quicktime Streaming Server, at a bitrate of a 300 kbits/sec, that is 60 MBit/sec. I saw a second-hand Apple XServe G5 2x2.3Ghz. Is that enough, or would I need to buy the latest quad-core Xserve?

Maybe you should do some more homework before you buy:

How do I create a JMF streaming server with QuickTime Web Client?

Can anyone give me some pointers on how to create a JMF streaming server and user can type in a rtsp URL on the web browser and be able to view the streaming video in QuickTime player?
thanks

JMF does not have RTSP server capabilities built-in. You would have to program the RTSP request-response protocol yourself.

Darwin Streaming Server & Quicktime Broadcaster Problems

recently upgraded to Darwin Streaming Server 5.5, and am having difficulty with it. I keep getting the following error when I try to change the settings under the Broadcaster sidebar menu item.
Error - Perl execution failed
Can't call method "state" on an undefined value at /Library/QuickTimeStreaming/AdminHtml/parse_xml.cgi line 1365.
The line that this error references is:
if (($broadcasterConn->state = 0) && ($theAction eq 'SaveBroadcasterSettings')) {
Additionally, If I select "Broadcast" in QuickTimeBroadcaster, I am presented with this error:
Connection Failed (-5420)
I have not experienced these errors with the previous version, which I uninstalled. When I reinstalled DSS I received a "Successfully Install" Message.
And...for what its worth, this is the version of perl I am using:
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Where did the Quicktime streaming server go??

It looks as if the Quicktime streaming server is gone for good - apparently it is not part of the Lion server install, and it can't be found on the Apple web site either. There is a page for it, but it doesn't actually provide any useful information.
Does anyone has any idea what happened to this technology?

Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.
