QuickTime Streaming in 16x9

Does anyone know if you can stream using QuickTime Broadcaster in 16x9 (852x480)? I don't want to letterbox my video in a 640x480 window.

I want it to start playing as soon as enough data has been buffered and I want the progress bar in the embedded movie to be immediately visible, like when you watch a trailer at apple.com/trailers. Is there a way to do this?Either set the "Fast Start" option during conversion or use the "Save As..." option to save your movie in the MOV file container which also simultaneously sets the "Fast Start" option. (Latter workflow may be the better approach since the MOV file is probably the most easily recognized container by servers.)

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.

How do I install Quicktime Streaming Server?

The Apple-supported QuickTime Streaming Server only comes with Mac OS X Server. What you need it QTSS's open-source twin Darwin Streaming Server. Download that, open the disk image, and just double-click on the package file to install.

Error message when opening itunes, quicktime streaming failed to load...

I downloaded itunes, installed it, and when I try to open I get the message "quicktime streaming failed to load because it was already loaded" Then it closes. Anyone know what's going on?
Windows XP

okay ... let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

"Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error"

iTunes and Quicktime will not load, install, or uninstall because of at some point the popup message "Quicktime Streaming failed to load because of an unknown error" appears. Succesive reboots and removal of SpyBot (which may have denied access to Quicktime because of a registry setting, which of course may still be the cause of the problem...) have not fixed the problem. Any ideas?

I have struggled with the same problem for the last few years and could not find any adequate answers. Being a person who likes to run his PC clean and mean, I had stopped all those Apple Itunes / Quicktime applets and deleted Itunes application as I preferred other Media players & converters. Recently my Nokia 6300 phone suite would send me the same error every song I moved from PC to phone. The clue was that I had chosen Optimised AAC format instead of stock standard MP3. Working on this hunch, I re-activated Apple's Software Update from the Scheduled Tasks items of Control Panel to update Quicktime, Itunes and Safari. Now I have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, iPodService.exe, iTunesHelper.exe all running and I do not get the error anymore. There is also the Bonjour (DNSResponder.exe) service to be considered. See:-

Quicktime Stream with rtsp and poster.mov

Hi...
I'm using Wordpress and I can't seem to get quicktime streaming to work. I've used the code they provided (which you'd THINK would work but it's not. What I'm putting in is (3 different ways/trys to stream the same file):

QuickTime Streaming Server

I've been looking to stream my webcam online and I understand how to do so.. The only thing that is puzzling me is that I can't find the QuickTime Streaming Server program or what not. All I need to do is set up my server and I'll understand the rest.. How do I get to the server setup?

Well I'm planning on putting the webcam on my webpage.. It's just that I'm using www.freewebs.com which is a free webspace and doesn't provide me w/ a server. I was planning on using QuickTime Broadcaster but it seems to require that I have a server enitialised.

Quicktime Streaming Server - qtss - service does not start in Server Admin.

Hi,
We're currently trying to configure a video/audio streaming server, but we've fallen at the first hurdle and the QuickTime Streaming service will not start (I am trying to enable it via Server Admin). Can anyone think of any possible reasons for this?
Many thanks,
Dave

It's probably not hugely relevant but are you trying to start it remotely or locally on the server? I know Server Admin can get a bit laggy and not always do what it should when starting services. Also can you check in the logs for the service (Quicktime Streaming>Logs>Error Log) to see if there's anything in there which gives and indication. Paste the output here if you need anymore help with that.

Internet connection breaks while loading a QuickTime-Stream

I'm not able to watch a QuickTime-Stream. The video seems to load forever and while loading my interntet connection on my Mac mini breaks. Same situation on any other computer at home. I fear there's a problem with my router. Can you help me?

Definitely has to do with the iPhone. Haven't left it connected lately and have not experienced any connection problems at all. The model is 837jp. I'm not worried about it now that I know what is causing it. I'll just charge the phone with the power outlet and only connect it when backing it up. Problem solved. Thanks, PC Tester, for your help.

Problem with QuickTime streaming

Hi there
I got an IPad 2 3G , but I have a huge problem. I have a website, which contains some quicktime stream video. but IPad cannot play them at all. Movies have a black screen, in the middle there is QuickTime logo.
Can you help me, how to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Did you repair permissions & restart your computer after installation? If so, then go into your browser's Preferences & map either VLC or Perian as the browser's web plug-in.
I would also go into QT Preferences & check its streaming preferences.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
==============
To make VLC your default .avi player:
Highlight an .avi file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select VLC.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

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!

How to stop QuickTime Streaming messages in secure.log?

The secure.log of the server is flooded with these kind of messages:
Jan 25 12:13:08 server com.apple.SecurityServer[41]: Succeeded authorizing right 'com.apple.server.admin.streaming' by client '/usr/sbin/QuickTimeStreamingServer' for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/ServerManagerDaemon.bundle'

I have tried to adjust the idle time setting in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.servermgrd.plist to 300, the supposed Maximum above which idle time defaults to 60 seconds. In my experience this initially works after which the flooding starts all over. The default interval is also a lot smaller than 60 secs.
How to effectively eliminate these messages apart from disabling QuickTime Streaming all together?

I would. (Ignore it.) OS X logging has long had this misfeature; various versions of applications have been far too chatty, others have log ominous messages that are harmless, and there's the occasional innocuous-nasty message logged.
If this particular message bugs you — I have several similar "favorites" in my own logs — add it onto a grep --invert-match pattern or such, and filter it out of the logs before you review them. When you're running OS X or another Unix box in production, message filters based on grep or similar are used to reduce the chatter, and also to flag the nasty messages.

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).
