Using Automatic Unicast (Announce) With QTSS on a

Separate Computer

You can broadcast from QuickTime Broadcaster to QuickTime Streaming Server. This

setting can also be used to receive Announced UDP streams from another QuickTime

Streaming Server via a relay using the Automatic Unicast (Announce) transmission

method. To do so, you need to create a broadcast user name and password on the

streaming server.

To create a broadcast user name and password on the streaming server:

1 In Server Admin, click QuickTime Streaming under the server in the Computers &

Services list.

2 Click Settings, then click Access.

3 Select the “Accept incoming broadcasts” checkbox.

4 Click Set Password and enter the name and password.

5 Click Save.

Advanced Management Tasks

In addition what is available via the Server Admin user interface, QuickTime Streaming

Server also includes a number of advanced features that allow for even further

customization of the server but are only available from the command line. These

features include creating QTSS users and groups with qtaccess files, controlling access

to content, and setting up multicast relays.

Controlling Access to Streamed Media

You can set up authentication to control client access to streamed media files. Two

schemes of authentication are supported: basic and digest. By default, the server uses

the more secure digest authentication.
