    How do I verify that QuickTime Streaming Server has been installed?

DISCUSSION

    To verify the released version of QTSS has been installed:
    In a terminal window, the command ' QuickTimeStreamingServer -v ' should result with:

    [hostname:~/updates_4.21] root# QuickTimeStreamingServer -v
    QTSS/v66 Built on: Apr 16 1999 , 18:10:07
    -d: Run in the foreground
    -l: For each RTP stream, write a log of all timestamps & sequence
    numbers
    -r: Don't append any random offsets to timestamps & sequence numbers
    -p XXX: Specify the default RTSP listening port of the server


    To verify the location of the Movies directory:
    The Movies directory contains all files that will be made available via QTSS. The location of this directory is listed in the Admin application:
    • Under the Apple Menu, select Administration, then select QuickTimeStreamingServerAdmin

    Place selfcontained, hinted movies in the Movies directory.

    Notes:

    1. QuickTime Streaming Server requires MacOSXServer patch 1 installed.

    2. Settings for the QuickTimeStreamingServer are held in the NetInfo database under services/QuicktimeStreamingServer. Several of the settings can be set via the Admin app (under the Apple Menu, in Server Administration, select QuickTimeStreamingAdmin.app). Any setting can be manipulated via the NetInfoManager.app or manually using niutil (see the man pages).

    For any changes to take affect, the QTSServer must be restarted.
