Quicktime streaming question

I am setting up quicktime streaming on my server I can access this from inside my firewall. But I cannot access it from outside the firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions.

After 10 forums and over a week of trying different suggestions, I still have not solved the issue with the present navigation system and it's relation to the QT movies.
I'm now converting some QT files into Flash FLV files. So far the pages I've converted do not exhibit these problems and many people have reported suddenly being able to see the videos whereas before they could not. For example see this page:
http://www,idriveinmovie.com/bltrailer_medium.htm
When encoded properly, a flv file can compare to the quicktime format in quality while decreasing it's size by about 50% and the JS used to access the file for the webpage seems to handle the caching of the page data differently than the Quicktime embed tag so that the buttons work fine as the flv downloads, which of course is a solution to my original problem.
Although Quicktime is my favorite web video media, for internet delivery without a streaming server it would seem the Flash FLV is the smarter choice right now.

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,

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.

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:-

Photo stream questions, sharing, etc.

Shared photo stream questions
Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
Here's where I'm (further) confused...
On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... " image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
Thanks!

You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

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):

None of them work and they screw up the layout of my site horribly so I've had to remove the entry. When I look at the coding for it, it changes it to just this:

Can anybody help me?? I just need some simple code to stream some MOV files on my site. Any help ASAP would be GREAT!! Thanks in advance...

I�ve got the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

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.
