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:

Minimum requirements for home server

I am looking to get a cheap iMac, Mini or iBook to use as a home server to run iTunes 24/7. I will be attaching an external HD for storage space for my media and will stream wirelessly to Apple TV over 802.11g using an Airport Express. What would be the minimum requirement for such a setup? Would the minimum requirement be what the latest version of iTunes require?

Hi Mac4lfe: If you want to SYNCH between the Mac and the ATV, then any G3 will do, just expect the synching to be slow. If you want to STREAM from the Mac to ATV, then a G3 will do for music but not for video. If you want to stream video, a G4 will do, but you will get a lot of beachballs when you do anything on iTunes and sometimes the streaming will fail. I suggest you get the cheapest Intel Mac, you will have a much better experience when streaming. Lastly, remember you will need a screen for the Mini, there will always be warnings, error messages, updates, etc in iTunes that you need a screen, mouse and keyboard for. Very lastly, you can just get the ATV and buy music, TV shows, Movies and rent movies without a Mac. 160GP shall be enough. I have 40 movies, 20 full TV seasons and 6000 songs and am just over 400GB.

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.

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

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.

Webcam stopped working on network after quicktime streaming server install.

Hi,
The webcam of my 20" intel mac duo stopped working after I installed quicktime streaming server.
I've tried with amsn, skype and ichat and none of them shows anything, although the light is green.
I don't need the streaming server but can't find how to uninstall it.
I can use the cam in photobooth without any problems so it seems to be a network problem, which I think was caused by qss because I installed that recently.
I really hope someone can give me some troubleshooting directions for this cause I need the cam for meetings with clients (I have a small design company in the uk, but most of my clients are from holland).
If anyone can at least just show me some tips I'd be very very happy! =)
thank you very much!

Minumum hardware requirement for Siebel Document server?

what is the minimum hardware requirement for Siebel document server?

To install the Document Server, perform the following steps:
Obtain the required hardware.
Install the Siebel Server.
Install third-party applications.
After installing the Siebel Server, you may have to follow some of the steps described in Configuring the Document Server. The Document Server is a component of Siebel eDocuments, which can be installed during installation of the Siebel Server. Consult with your system administrator to verify that the Document Server has been installed and configured according to the requirements listed in the following sections.
Hardware Requirements
The Document Server is supported on the Windows 2000 platform. To maintain stability and performance, the Document Server must run on a dedicated host machine. The Siebel Server on this machine should host one instance of the Siebel eDocuments component group. No other components should be running other than required system components.
To support more users, you can run additional instances of the Siebel eDocuments component group on additional dedicated host machines.
Installing the Siebel Server
Install the Siebel Server on the dedicated host machine of the Document Server. For more information about installing the Siebel Server, see Siebel Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.
During installation, you will have the option to enable component groups. Select the Siebel eDocuments component group. Do not enable any other component groups.
This step can also be performed after installation is complete, as described in the section Enabling the Component Group.
Installing Third-Party Applications
You must install Microsoft Word.
To install Microsoft Office
Log on to the server machine using the same user account that the Siebel Server NT service uses. This user account must belong to the Administrators group.
NOTE: The install must use the same account to be used by the NT Service. The installer configures COM security settings so that the installing user account will have the correct permissions to access and launch the application. If the install uses an account other than the Siebel Server NT service account, errors may occur when the Document Server tries to launch the application.
Install Microsoft Office using a Typical, or complete, installation. Verify that your version of Microsoft Office will install the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component with the Typical installation. If it does not, you will need to use the Custom installation option, and install all of the typical components as well as the Web Authoring Tools (HTML) component.
Start the applications that will be used by the Document Server. This forces the applications to register themselves.
Close the applications.
Regards,
Joseph Arul Dass

QuickTime Streaming Server Media Directory

Does anyone know if QuickTime Streaming Server can use a network attached storage device (like another Xserve hosting an Xraid) as it's media directory? I have gotten this to work once, but never again. Server Admin does not seem to let you select anything except local drives for the location of the media directory. ????

I've tried doing the same and never got it working... Not even once. I'd be curious to know how you got it working that one time. I've never heard of anyone getting this to work.
My suggestion is to setup the other XServe with the XRAID as your QTSS or move the XRAID to your QTSS box.

Does QuickTime Streaming Server have a nice user gui?

I am thinking of getting Mac OS X Server for the QuickTime Streaming Server that comes with this. I have only been able to find admin gui pictures. Does QTSS come with any nice user interfaces? Is there any example of any of the default user interfaces / webpages?
Thank you.

AFIAK "Windows Media Server" and "Real Media Server" are not providing a content management "Web GUI Media Server" either. What you get with QTSS/DSS that you're not getting with Windows Media Server and Real Media Server is what I have quantified to be a greater amount of player ubiquity (the highest in reality is Flash, but you're stuck with Flash Media Server and On2 VP6 codec (which I think looks horrible)).
Just one thing to ask you, think of your customers (most the one's I am concerned with are students) and think of what they use to play music. Do they use a Zune? A Creative Nomad? Or do the use an iPod? Most people have ipods, I would think, and therefore use iTunes, and therefore have quicktime installed. Hmmmm... wait I can play almost any open source media format with quicktime, oh and wait I can stream just about any open source (streamable) media format with QTSS/DSS.
Oh did I mention I can run DSS on a variety of rock solid *nix distro's on off the shelf parts from my local electronics store. Can you say cheap streaming media server?
In the end it's all apple's and orange's to me. Yah windows is more pervasive, but you're going to be pigeon holed into using windows media formats (which are all proprietary), and dealing with an unstable server OS (no debating this one). With QTSS/DSS I can stream mpeg-4's or 3gp or if I so desired .mov. I don't particularly like the SpyWare install nature of real player and it's thousands upon thousands of updates, and version name changes, and this or that. I personally don't even have it installed, nor do I visit any website that uses it. I also think real's and windows media's video quality is so so (just my opinion).
h.264 is really where it's at, it's part of everything nowadays including production pipelines for movies, and in HD-DVD and BluRay DVD specs. Yah I am sure you can stream h.264 encoded .RM or .WMV (not sure if that's possible) but again your limited. I personally stream MPEG-4's (completely platform indpendent, and can be played back in almost all media players (including windows media player with the envivio plugin), and VLC which is free and can be installed on (windows, os x, linux).
The Killer combo for me is really, flash player (flash can now play mpeg-4's including h.264, but only for downloads) playing RTSP MPEG-4 h.264 encoded streams form DSS/QTSS (or some other blazingly fast and stable streaming server, there are other's out there, but DSS/QTSS seems pretty dang pervasive to me).

I followed a thread last night that looked like I could download quicktime streaming server (QTSS) as a free download.This does not now seem possible.wnload.

Is it possible to obtain quicktime streaming server( QTSS) as a free down load ?Some thread (from this site) I followed last night turned out to be of no use.

I've had my 822 since launch and I have had flawless experience with the phone. Phone works like it should, text messaging and emails work. I think it does a random reboot about once a month if that.
I don't know what Nokia or VZW did to the 928's. It could either be a bad batch of devices they keep recycling to other customers when one sends it back in for being faulty or just poor QA done on the device.
The only thing I can think of is filing a complaint with the BBB and FCC that VZW keeps issuing faulty devices to their customers.
Reach out to one of the executives, http://aboutus.verizonwireless.com/leadership/executive/index.html and voice your anger that you are constantly receiving faulty devices.

UDP Stream -- SDP File w/ QuickTime Streaming Server?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help a client who's getting into some more advanced QuickTime stuff than I'm famillair with, and I could sure use some help figuring out a solution for him. Instead of trying to rephrase his question myself, I'll just copy his email to me below:
Question about QTSS. I have played around with Darwin Streaming Server quite a bit but there is one thing I want it to do that it can't. My question is this. Will Quicktime Streaming Server take an unannounced UDP stream that is directed to it and automatically create a SDP file so I can then relay the stream to people. With DSS I have to make a SDP file myself which I don't know how to do yet.
What I'm doing is using an Axis Network camera, sending video out UDP unannounced. I'm doing this so if a network connection goes down the camera will still be sending out video and when the connection comes back up the video will make it through to the server again.
So once it's on QTSS I want to pull 3 different streams of this feed (via the SDP file), one with no modification, the other 2 VLC will request the stream and transcode them and drop the transcoded stream into another QTSS. This second QTSS would be the server for the 2 transcoded streams.
Thanks,
Any ideas? If QTSS can't do exactly what he has in mind, is there another feature that would be similar? Again, any help you might provide would be very appreciated,

I thought I'd bump this message just on the off chance anyone who might have an answer missed it the first time around. Heck, if you've even got a good suggestion as to a better forum to ask it on, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks, and best wishes,

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.

Quicktime Streaming Server : Restrict Access

Hi,
I am streaming some media files using QuickTime Streaming server and publishing them. I get a web URL for that media.
I have 2 kind of users. Internal (i.e. in the same network domain in which I am) and external users (open general users)
I would like to restrict access to some media only to internal users.
Does anyone have clue how to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)
I have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
