Currently, Microsoft Windows Media is the mainstream Streaming Media Server.

Streamingserver is a cross-platform open source Streaming Media Server software developed by Apple. Its quality is free of charge. So we chose to set up a Streaming Media Server.

Darwin Streaming

Icecast is compatible with HTTP to transmit standard MP3 files to MP3 clients.

I. Software Installation

First download http://dss.macosforge.org/Source code,
The latest version is 6.0.3, but I chose version 5.5.5 because it provides installation scripts for Linux. Downloaded
After the DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux.tar.gz file, decompress and run the following command to install:

~ /Tmp/darwinstreamingsrvrlinux-Linux $ chmod + x install
~ /Tmp/darwinstreamingsrvrlinux-Linux $ sudo./install

Installation Complete

Darwin Streaming Server SETUP

Inorder to administer the Darwin
Streaming Server you must create anadministrator user [NOTE:
Administrator user name cannot containspaces, or single or double quote
Characters, and cannot be more than255 characters long].
Please enter a new administrator user name: keensword007

Youmust also enter a password
The administrator user [Note: theadministrator password cannot contain
Spaces, or quotes, either singleor double, and cannot be more than 80
Characters long].
Please enter a new Administrator password:
Re-enter the new Administrator password:
Adding username keensword007
Chown: invalid user: 'qtss'
Setup complete!

From the prompt information, it should be caused by the failure of the qtss user. After checking the install script, we found that the script for creating a user is as follows:

If [$ install_ OS = "Linux"]; then
/Usr/sbin/useradd-M qtss>/dev/null 2> & 1
Else
/Usr/sbin/useradd qtss>/dev/null 2> & 1
Fi
However, useradd does not have the-M command line parameter. It should be-M. Modify-m to-M, and then execute the install script. The installation is successful. At this time, the service has been started. You can use the following command to determine whether the service has been started:

~ /Tmp/darwinstreamingsrvrlinux-Linux $ PS aux | grep Darwin

Root 10963 0.0 0.0 4368 456? SS/usr/local/sbin/darwinstreamingserver
Qtss 10964 0.0 0.0 38032? SL/usr/local/sbin/darwinstreamingserver
1000 11003 0.0 0.0 3004 760 pts/1 R + grep Darwin

If you want the server to automatically run the Streaming Media Server after startup, enter the following command:

~ /Tmp/darwinstreamingsrvrlinux-Linux $ CD/etc/rc3.d

/Etc/rc3.d $ sudo ln-S/usr/local/sbin/streamingadminserver. pl s20streamingserver

. To manually start the service, run streamingadminserver. plProgram.

Ii. Configuration

The Darwin Streaming Server adopts the Web management mode. You can enter http: // 127.0.0.1: 1220 in your browser. Enter the user name and password set when installing the Streaming Media Server.

The setting wizard appears when you log on for the first time. The first is an MP3 broadcast password Setting Dialog Box. In its "new password" and "re-enter new password", enter your desired password. Click "Next" to continue.

To ensure data transmission security, you can select "Secure Administration (SSL)" here, provided that you have an available SSL certificate. You can choose not to select, as shown in. Click "Next" to continue.

Next, set the main directory for storing media files. The default directory is ". Remember to add the media files to the directory after adding them to the server. After setting, click "Next" to continue.

Finally, set the default transmission port. If "streaming on
Port80 ", the access to this server can break through the firewall, but if you have an Apache
And other services that occupy port 80. We recommend that you do not set this port. If you have no special requirements, use the default configuration, as shown in figure 9. Click "finish.

Since then, the settings of the Streaming Media Server have come to an end. If you want to make further settings, you can click the corresponding options on the left side of the Management page to set the settings. You can also modify the preceding settings.

Iii. Online playback

After the Streaming Media Server is deployed, we can play it online using our favorite player. For example, open movie player on the local machine and enter:

RTSP: // 127.0.0.1/sample_100kbit.mp4

You can see a quick time Demo Video.
