problem with rtsp using QuickTime server on Linux

Post by Conrad Franklan » Fri, 10 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hello,

We've got the QuickTime server running and it will stream files
over http, but not over rtsp - eg for the url
rtsp://server.domain.com:554/filename.qt the browser just tries to
look rtsp up as a domain name. We have configured /etc/services
port 554 as follows:
rtsp            554/udp

Have also tried tcp but the documentation (what little there is)
indicates udp to be the best option.
Any ideas?
Has anyone successfully installed and run this server on Linux?

cheers, Conrad.

#1 QT Movie files typically end in .mov, not .qt. Your server may not
recognize .qt as a valid mime type, most use .mov
#2 Your browsing software may not be configured properly or may not
support what you intend to do with RTSP. When in doubt, feed that URL to
QT Player and see if it cann connect. Check the MIME type settings for
QuickTime and make sure that RealPlayer, etc. are not hi-jacking QT's RTSP
protocol handlers on your machine.

And when in doubt, hire a streaming expert :) You may not have a multicast
kernel (unlikely- these days most are), your routers  may not support
RTSP....

1. Bug in apple quicktime rtsp proxy for linux

Hi,

I have tried apples rtsp proxy and found the following bug in it - core
dump sig11. I saw a couple of posting regarding it, but no one seemed to
research in the problem...well here it is (see end of mail).

Does anyone know how to contact Apple formerly known as progressive
hardware suppliers ?

Or perhaps there is someone that can make a patch for me ?

Relevant data:

OS: RH 5.2 kernel 2.2.10 intel x86 family (586) - all software is RH
compiled, because it runs on a production server.

Kind regards

Nino
