Media server configuration: QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server

The Content Server default installation supports only HTTP-based on demand streaming of MPEG-4 for QuickTime from its local IIS web server. An external server must be set up for live unicast and true (RTSP) on-demand streaming of MPEG-4 for QuickTime. Only QuickTime and Darwin Streaming Servers are supported for streaming MPEG-4 for QuickTime content.

Saving the Media server configuration checks that the server is available at the specified server address and displays the server type, if the information is available. Unicast live streaming from QuickTime or Darwin servers (RTSP announce) is also tested when the Media server configuration is saved.

You can set up a Media server configuration for a QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to do live and/or on demand streaming. There are two options for configuring the Media server for live MPEG-4 for QuickTime streaming:

Live unicast streaming: This requires an external QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server to relay streams to clients.
