    How can I view current status and administer a QuickTime Streaming Server remotely?

DISCUSSION

    You can display the QTSS server status and stats via HTTP by following these steps:

    1. In NetInfoManager, locate the settings for QuickTime Streaming Server.
    2. Locate the property named:

    web_stats_url:

    3. Give this property a value such as "privatestats" (or whatever you prefer).
    4. Stop and restart the QuickTime Streaming Server.

    This enables real-time status and stats to be viewed via HTTP. From a web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), use the following URL to access this information:

    < http://yourserver.ip.com:554/privatestats >
    (substitute the IP or DNS name for "yourserver.ip.com")

    To administer the QuickTime Streaming Server remotely, you can use "niutil" from a telnet session as root. For example, use the following command to replace steps 1-3, above:

    # niutil -createprop . /services/QuickTimeStreamingServer
    web_stats_url privatestats

    (this is one-long line, press [RETURN] at the end of "privatestats")

    For further information on niutil, consult the man pages via the command 'man niutil'
