Quicktime Broadcaster Error -3285

Hey guys I need help. I have a Xserve and I woul like to use Quicktime Streaming, I set up the server but when go on Quicktime Broadcaster (laptop Macbook pro) and try to streaming over Automatic Unicast (announce) the software say to me ERROR 3285. Some one to know which is the best procedure.
oopps When I use the Quicktime broadcaster on Unicast and i send to server the SDP it work

I can stream all day long when I do pro webcasts on my different clients networks. But when I try to stream from home, I get Error -3285 every 10 minutes. Is it because of my Comcast cablemodem (aka Comcrash)? Does anyone know if Comcast has some sort of filter that cuts off people uploading (in my case streaming video into Secondlife)?

  • Can't broadcast - error -3285

    I have a Darwin streaming server running under OSX 10.2. The server runs well and I'm really pleased with the quality of the H264 movies its serving.
    The issue is that I cannot broadcast to it from a 10.4 powerbook.
    I have broadcaster 1.5.1 and when I try to connect, I am asked to authenticate. I enter the ID and PW (if i get this wrong, it asks again) and then it comes back pretty quickly after saying Prerolling with Broadcaster Error -3285.
    I can't find any reference to this error in the scant documentation I can find and Its really bugging me. Any ideas??

    Not sure what the error code means. You may want to search apple's knowledge base.
    However, in reply to your question, no you do not need a server to broadcast from one computer to another single computer.
    QTSS or DSS is required when you need to broadcast to an audience / large number of clients.

  • Quicktime configuratoin error -3285

    I have successfully setup a streaming server on OS X Server, and i can stream from several networkstations, including a Mac, Windows, a MacBook Pro...
    But i have a MacBook and PB 12'' that can:
    - access the network share and copy the file if they want to (or play it from there)
    - enter the rtsp://... uri, and on server i see in the server admin interface that they get connected.
    - but then they stay at "Quicktime is configuring"... and that ends with the -3285 error, that i can not find any information about.
    Anyone an idea? I tried wireless/LAN, i compared the MacBook network/quicktime configs with the MacBookPro, and one plays, the other doesn't... and i have no clue why.
    Tx

    And, it does not really help. The perplexing thing is that i have 3 laptops to test with. A MacBookPro, a MacBook and the 12'' PB.
    Only the MacBookPro is able to play, the other two machines are unable to get pass the "configuration" timeout. In all 3 cases, i see the connection made at the server, with no error. In all cases, i can see the filelength of the stream, but they are not able to play it.
    This is completly undebuggable. Network configuration seems to be identical (same settings, same wireless network etc), all machines can play the copied file, all machines can access the share.
    I enabled http streaming on the server just for kicks, with no difference in the result at all.
    Any other suggestions? Right now, i am ready to give up and use another solution.

  • Quicktime broadcaster getting a timeout error.

    Greetings,
    I have setup quicktime broadcaster and feel that I have everything running properly however when I try to connect to my broadcast via the internet I get an open quicktime window showing "waiting for media" with a count up to 8 then back to 0 before it shows "Timed out".
    I have tried using TCP and UDP but the condition persists.
    I opened up ports 554 and 7070 neither of which is blocked.
    Port mapping directs those ports to the server via airport extreme.
    I get no error messages on the server
    If I try to connect by using rtsp://mywebsite.com/link.sdp I get "waiting for media" with a the timeout message in the white quicktime window with the blue quicktime logo.
    If I try to connect by via rtsp://mywebsite.com:80, a black quicktime window opens and it says disconnected.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello Lynn,
    Thanks for your help
    With the P2-4x-4k40 camera file, I get a warning that the camera file does not support the IMAQ device I have selected (see attached pics)
    If I click on yes to add the interface, I get an error saying there was a problem and end up with an empty camera file
    I've found I can load the Dalsa P2-2x-2k40 camera file and it 'works' if I turn down the width to 1024, in that it doesn't time out.  I do get a completely black image though.
    According to the specsheet this camera has four taps but there's only two set up in the camera file and it doesn't seem to be possible to change it.

  • Quicktime-no sound & Broadcaster Error - Can't Open Handler (-2004)

    Greetings - I made the following post in the Tiger forum and after 3 days have received no response. Hopefully I'll have better luck here. Thanks in advance.
    10.4.7
    MacbookPro Intel Core Duo
    Suddenly some problems.
    My Fireworks 8 will no longer open. I get a Macromedia error pop-up stating "A problem was detected with your application. Please reinstall software to correct the problem."
    So I reinstall.
    Same problem! Reinstallation does not fix.
    Also, I now have no sound with Quicktime. All other system sounds are fine, DVD player, sound applications like Peak. But Quicktime is silent.
    Lastly - my Quicktime Broadcaster is no longer working.
    Video is no longer appearing in the source preview. (although I can confirm that the camera is working when I click on options for "built in iSight." I DO see video in the "Video Adjustments" window.
    Futhermore, if I click on "broadcast" I get this error "Broadcaster Error - Can't Open Handler (-2004)
    Argghhh.
    Any suggestions for me?
    Thanks!

    I doubt it is corrupt you could try to delete it but that will probably cause a problem with QT. What is the turn of events that took you to the registry?
    This is a permissions issue. What account originally installed QT? Are you an administrator account? You need to take Full Control or Ownership of the item in the registry or QT with a administrator account. Whatever account you're using, now, either is not an administrator account or it is being denied permissions. At worse I would think you might have to create another administrator account to take ownership and full control. There are at least 2 on the computer now.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster Strating Error

    Trying to record to disk, the broadcast starts, immediately stops, and then I get this error:

  • 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 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...

  • "Quicktime Broadcaster quit unexpectedly", "Precondition Failed (412)"

    We are trying to do a live webcast of our church service through a 3rd party QTSS host company. On our end when you press "broadcast" it will go through pre-rolling, but when it goes to broadcast mode the program crashes and gives an error, "The application Quicktime Broadcaster quit unexpectedly."
    If you relaunch the application it gives you a "Broadcaster Error - Precondition Failed (412)". The audio and video feed is coming into the computer through a AJA Kona LHe breakout box and card. Broadcaster lists all its settings as options and you can see the video in the preview window. I plugged in a simple dv camera by firewire and had the same experience.
    Does anyone use Broadcaster with a breakout box etc., not sure if Kona isn't compatible or something?
    A mac laptop has been plugged in using the same internet connection and used iSight and worked fine.
    We have another G5 that I put broadcaster on and used a simple dv camera to make sure that there was not a network, firewall, or 3rd part server issue and it worked fine, but this computer isn't in the control room and doesn't have the audio and video feeds from the service to be of use.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster won't let me broadcast

    I have an iBook G3 running Mac OS 10.3.9 and I am getting video from the iSight camera fine but when I try to broadcast, I get this irritating audio squeal and "Broadcaster Error: Connection Failed (-5420)". What could be wrong?

    I also occasionally get error 5420 but I think that was due to closed firewall ports. Right now I'm testing with the firewall disabled on my DSS server and am getting prompts for username and password. I have tried credentials for the server, for the broadcaster login, and the ones I set for DSS (set and reset) with no changes.
    I've tested the sample movies and the DSS streams from files fine; I just can't get broadcaster to connect. Broadcaster is set for Automatic Unicast with the hostname, username and password fields filled in before I click Broadcast.
    Has anyone else encountered this? I'm on the same local network, but the broadcaster is wireless. Has anyone else successfully broadcast over WiFi?
    Thank You!

  • Bad files out of QuickTime Broadcaster

    I am using QuickTime Broadcaster (1.5.3, running on Mac OS X Server 10.6.8) to stream a monthly sales meeting to our employees. The stream is also saved for later viewing. It's this saved stream I'm having issues with.
    The resulting QuickTime files are very difficult to deal with. QTB automatically closes a file when it gets to 2GB and starts a new one (a little more than four hours of stream, given my present settings). The first of these files will not end cleanly, but instead has a single frame repeated numerous times. Fortunately, QT Pro understands that the video actually ends at the place where these repeated frames begin, so that part is easy enough to edit out.
    It's the subsequent files that have the bigger issue. There seems to be some kind of time code problem. When I try to stitch the files together in any app, including MPEG Streamclip, QuickTime Pro, or iMovie, things go haywire. For instance, if I copy the entirety of the second file to the clipboard in QT Pro, then paste it onto the end of the first file, QT Pro refuses to update the view in the viewer. Audio plays, but video doesn't. If I try to save this resulting file, I get "The movie contains an incorrect time value."
    Often, I can cut out the first few seconds of the second file and it pastes OK. However, this does not always work. Anyway, I do not want to lose any time from the presentation.
    This seems to happen irrespective of the video format that I've selected for streaming. Does anyone have any experience working with these files?

    Error -2015 (Invalid time value) occurs when the display time of the first or last frame of the movie (or of one of the movies that you are merging) is not correctly set.
    See also: http://aeroquartet.com/movierepair/quicktime-errors
    Trimming the first 3 to 5 frames, and last 3 to 5 frames will usually solve the problem.
    You can also use Atom Inspector and edit the ctts table of the first trak.
    By setting first and last values to 0, you end up fixing this problem.
    Always do a back-up of your movie before using Atom Inspector.
    Regards,
    Benoit

  • 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

    Hi I have a couple of questions regarding QuickTime Broadcaster.
    First....how do even make it work.
    When I select the automatic Unicast I get an error -5420 no matter what I fill out on the fields or do it over TCP.
    When I select it as manual unicast I don't get any error message but any other computer inside my own network cannot see the broadcast on either the audio or video port. This brings another question. Why 2 ports and not just one? and, how do I setup both ports on the viewer QT?
    My other issue is that I can only broadcast my iSight, but I want to broadcast what's going on on my desktop instead of my webcam. How do I broadcast the desktop?
    Anyways. I would appreciate if somebody could educate me on how to use this program.
    Thank you. Bye.

    It will work stand alone. After tinkering around and searching various discussion groups it turns our the whole problem is on the receiving end. If they have a router it has a firewall and router firewalls seems to be default configured to block the ports Broadcaster uses. By plugging the computer directly into the cable modem the broadcast got through. Maybe someone can explain this a bit better but when using Broadcaster one to one, the broadcast is being sent to that IP address only via the ports at the receiving end. Because of all the bad things people like to do when they can hack into other's computers these are blocked. So the receiving end has to open their ports to let the broadcast in. Kind of like why you close and lock the front door to your house, it keeps out the unwanted but it has to be opened to let the cat in.

  • Quicktime Broadcaster and Leopard - no audio

    I use Quicktime Broadcaster a few times a week for a contract I have. Everything worked fine as of Friday morning. After the upgrade to Leopard, I noticed that the app would no longer encode the audio of video. This only occurs on a MacBook Pro. An old PowerBook works sort of OK, but not perfect, have some other issue as well. I booted into a back-up of my previous set-up, and all works as it should.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I have looked everywhere, and do not see any errors in the logs to help troubleshoot. All settings look OK. I can record audio with Audacity, but not Quicktime Broadcaster.

    This does not seem to work for the live stream, only the locally archived stream has the audio. Am I missing something? A setting I am unaware of?
