Install and configure the streaming media Helix Server in Linux

DocumentHelix. server (that is, the open-source version of The REAL server), RM media stream server, without any restrictions. supports RTSP and RM, MP3, and other formats, even for commercial use. you can download it here.

2. Install

Decompress: # tar-zxvf helix_dn_server_10.1.tar.gz

In the current path, the directory helix_dna _server_10.1 is obtained.

# Cd helix_dna _server_10.1

There are two files. The installation command is as follows:

#./Servinst_plus_linux-2.2-libc6-i586-server.bin

The following describes the installation process:

Directory: [here the system will provide a default installation path, that is, the current Directory]: You can enter the specified installation path here. Or press enter to use the default path;

Username []: Enter the Administrator Login Name

Password: The administrator Password. Press enter and enter it again;

You can press enter to use the default port. Note that port [80] should be changed to 8080 or another unused port number, because the default port of APACHE is 80, otherwise, it will conflict with your APACHE port.

Port [80] and press enter, such as port [29902]. This is the port number for your administrator to log on to the server. Remember to use it later.

Next, we will provide a list of the parameters you set above:

... Back to the previous prompts: [F]: Enter F here to confirm the preceding parameter settings and install the tool immediately. Enter P to reset the parameters.

Installation is complete.

3. Start the server

Go to the Bin folder of the installation directory.

# Cd Bin

Start the server

#./Hlxserverplus ../hlxserverplus. cfg

Hlxserverplus. cfg is your server configuration file.

If no error is prompted, go to the following operations.

By the way,

1. If you want to automatically load the helix server when LINUX is started. Start Menu ---> preferences ---> more preferences ---> session ---> start the program --> Add ---> Start the command, specify the browsing on the right ---> OK

Do not forget to add parameters. Example:/home/root/helixserver/Bin/hlxserverplus/home/root/helixserver/hlxserverplus. cfg

/Home/root/helixserver is the installation path of my helix_server

2. Add a shortcut to the desktop. On the desktop, right-click ---> New Initiator ---> name: helixserver command and Click Browse to specify. Do not forget to add parameters. Example:/home/root/helixserver/Bin/hlxserverplus/home/root/helixserver/hlxserverplus. cfg

/Home/root/helixserver is the installation path of my helix_server

4. Server Management Configuration

Start Mozilla and enter in the address bar:

Your Server IP Address: the Administrator Login port number/admin/index.html

Normally, a dialog box is displayed. Enter the administrator login name and password you set during installation. If correct, go to the server configuration page.

The following describes the basic configurations:

1> Server IP Address binding

Server Setup ----> IP Binding -----> click "+" on the right of IP Address, and enter the IP Address of the Server to be bound under Edit IP Address -----> Apply ----> Pending Changes

2> Create a mount point

Modify the default root directory

Server Setup ----> Mount Points -----> click Helix Content ---> modify the Content under the Base Path to the actual full Path of your movie files, for example, my options are/mnt/dos/vod ----> Apply -----> Pending Changes.

Client Access: rtsp: // server ip/001.rm For example: rtsp: // 192.168.0.200/001.rm

001. rm is the file name of your movie. It can be named in Chinese.

Create a mount point

Click "+" next to Mount Point Desription"

The following describes the Mount POint Description in Edit Description. You can enter the Description at will.

Mount Point: Your Mount Point, which will be accessed by the client later, for example:/film/

The content under the Base Path is modified to the actual full Path of your movie file, for example,/mnt/dos/vod ----> Apply -----> Pending Changes

Client Access: rtsp: // server ip/film/001.rm For example: rtsp: // 192.168.0.200/film/001.rm

After setting the restart server, you 'd better disable mozilla and log on again to see if the setting has taken effect. Otherwise, try again!

After completing the preceding operations, you can watch a movie. Of course, you can also configure the number of client connections, multicast, IP address limit, traffic limit, and control access users and groups. I will not introduce it here.

In addition, you are advised to delete all the original files after re-installation. Otherwise, port configuration is annoying.
