Check the error log. |
|
Make sure the movie file is supported by the Darwin Streaming Server. Check the list of compatible file formats. |
|
Try streaming a sample movie to see if the server can stream it. You can download a sample prehinted movie from the Apple Software Updates Web site:
/asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11357 |
|
|
If the server streams the sample movie, the problem you're having may be with the way your movie file is prepared. Recreate the movie. |
|
If the sample movie doesn't stream, the problem you're having may be with the server computer or the network. |
|
|
Try hinting the movie again with the Optimize Hints For Server option selected. |
|
Check streaming server activity and if necessary, reduce the number of connections or throughput. |
|
If the problem occurs on a Mac OS client computer, open the TCP/IP control panel on the client computer and make sure MacIP is not selected. |
|
If the problem occurs on a client computer, make sure the user has the appropriate settings in the Streaming Proxy and Streaming Transport panels of the QuickTime Settings control panel. The administrator for the client computer's network should be able to provide the correct settings. |
|
If the problem occurs for media streamed using PlaylistBroadcaster, try hinting the movies again with the RTP Payload Encoding set to QuickTime and Smooth Data Rate enabled. |
|
If you are reflecting more than one live stream, make sure each stream uses a separate UDP port. Otherwise client computers will show a message with error 500. You set up ports in the relay configuration file. |
