---attached: How to troubleshoot ERROR 15

Question : turn yourself into a. mov file is not streamed playback (ERROR 15 wrong)

cause: the. mov file does not have a designated hint track

exclusion Method: mp4creator (Program in MPEG4IP) to hint track

Operating Environment: Fedora 7

Step 1. Installation FFmpeg (Tools & Codecs)

RPM-IVH http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm

Yum Install FFmpeg

Step 2. Installation MPEG4IP (for hint track)

Yum Install Mpeg2dec id3lib ffmpeg-devel

mpeg4ip.rpm Download Web page

RPM-IVH--nodeps--force mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1-1.fc4.rf.i386.rpm

Step 3. File (if you've already skipped this step with another tool)

Ffmpeg-i INPUT.WMV-F mov Output.mov

Step 4. Empower hint Track

Mp4creator-hint=1 Output.mov

mp4creator-hint=2 Output.mov

Hint track as long as it's done one at a time, no need to get this wrong message: Mp4error:mp4file::findintegerproperty:no such property-moov.trak[1] ... It will destroy this file for many times.

The above-mentioned Output.mov can be normally broadcast by Darwin streaming Server

Ways and steps to install the Darwin streaming server under Linux-2

1. Download Darwin from Apple's site:

Http://www.publicsource.apple.com/projects/streaming/release/DarwinStreamingServer5.5-Linux.tar.gz

2. Unpack The TAR package:

# tar Xvzf darwinstreamingserver3-linux.tar.gz

This will generate a darwinstreamingsrvr3-linux directory in the current directory to enter the directory.

3. Installing the Install script installs Darwin:

#./install

After the installation is complete, the directory structure is as follows:

/usr/local/sbin/quicktimestreamingserver– Stream Server program directory
/USR/LOCAL/SBIN/STREAMINGADMINSERVER.PL-QTSS WEB Management Server
/usr/local/sbin/streamingservermodules/-QTSS Plug-in
/usr/local/bin/playlistbroadcaster– Playlist Broadcast
/usr/local/bin/qtpasswd– password file for access control
/USR/LOCAL/BIN/SPAMPRO-RTSP Client Tools
/etc/streaming/-QTSS configuration file
/usr/local/movies/-Media File placement Directory
/var/streaming/-User Manual
/var/streaming/logs– Log Directory
/var/streaming/playlists–web Managing playlist files

4. To configure the server:

After the installation is complete, streamingadminserver.pl will run automatically, and you can manage the Darwin streaming server through the Perl script, which is actually a small Web server. For ease of administration later, you can add a line to the/etc/rc.d/rc.local script:
/usr/local/sbin/streamingadminserver.pl
This allows administrative scripts to be automatically allowed after each system startup.

Enter in the browser of any client computer that can access the server:
http://your_server_name:1220
Your_Server_Name is the hostname of your streaming server, and you can use IP addresses, of course.

You will then be able to access the Web management interface.
Default Administrator user name: Streamingadmin
Default Administrator Password: default

After entering the Web management interface, you can configure some of the following:
A. Server Snapshot: Server status monitoring;
B. Movies Directory:
Place the directory setting of the media file, the default is/usr/local/movies/;
C. Authentication Scheme:
Set the user authentication scheme, the default is digest, if you use QUICKTIME4 client, you must select Basic;
D. Streaming on Port 80:
Set whether to use port 80 for the Server service port, or specify a different port in the/etc/streaming/streaingloadtool.conf file if you choose No;
E. Maximum number of Connections:
Maximum number of client connections, default is 1000;
F. Maximum Throughput:
Maximum usage bandwidth, default is 100M;
G. Start/Stop Darwin streaming server;
There are also log file settings and playlist creation, among others.

5. To install the client:

Download QuickTime from Apple Inc
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Then follow the prompts to install under Windows XP.

6. Test:

After the installation is complete, there will be a Sample.mov file in the/usr/local/movies directory, which we can use to test the file. First, start QuickTime on the client, and then click in the Menu
Fileàopen URL in New player
In the popup dialog box, type: Rtsp://your_server_name:554/sample.mov
(This assumes that 554 is used as the service port)
