Darwin Streaming Server on Ubuntu

[jaysazua]

Start Server

During power of the computer is not of the Darwin server automatically, but servers and web interface must either in a terminal on the following two lines of command

sudo /usr/local/sbin/DarwinStreamingServer
/usr/local/sbin/streamingadminserver.pl

Or by corresponding entries in the Start menu manually invoked. As servers and web interface can also start automatically, is contributing startup. In addition, there are init scripts for the Darwin server and the admin interface.

I downloaded and followed the instructions in the tutorial but I got stuck in the part where I can view the server on the ipaddress:1220 part. I'm using Ubuntu JeOS 8.04 and I think it has something to do with that... I'm not sure though... I've tried to use the above instructions in starting the server but there's no file there that says DarwinStreamingServer or the other one. All it says is:

root@ubuntu-jeos:~# ls /usr/local/bin/
createuserstreamingdir PlaylistBroadcaster StreamingLoadTool
MP3Broadcaster qtpasswd

Any ideas?

Edit:

I got it to work by using:

useradd -g qtss qtss

thanks anyways!

With the Darwin Server,
can one insert dynamically created audio content and
send it to the streamed mp3 file? This would be useful
in broadcasting one's voice (from a mic) or even
inserting output from a text-to-speech translator
into the stream. Thanks!

Yes, you can use the Darwin as a reflector, in which case it can accept broadcast of rtp stream (produced by vlc) and rebroadcast it as an rtsp stream. For that vlc can be run as follows (for broadcasting both video and audio):

/usr/local/bin/vlc $VideoFile -Irc --sout '#transcode{vcodec="H263",width='$width',height='$ height',vb="'$vbitrate'",fps="'$fps'",acodec="samr ",ab="'$abitrate'",samplerate="8000",channels="1"} :rtp{dst="'$LocalIP'",port-audio="22002",port-video="22000",ttl="6",sdp="file:///usr/local/movies/vlc.sdp"}'

Here's working tutorial getting Darwin Streaming Server up and running on hardy - http://www.jusupov.com/2009/06/13/ho...-ubuntu-hardy/

I simplified the start/stop script to make it work for DSS 6.0.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 (no need to start DSS and admin separatly as pl script is doing it).

#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: 35 92 12
# description: Quicktime Streaming Media Server
#
# init script to start up the quicktime (Darwin) streaming server

case "$1" in
        start)
        if test -r /var/lock/dssd
        then
                echo "Lockfile /var/lock/dssd exists. Server not started."
                failure
        else
                echo "Starting Darwin Streaming Server: "
                /usr/local/sbin/streamingadminserver.pl
                touch /var/lock/dssd
                echo "Darwin Streaming Server started..."
        fi
        ;;

        stop)
        echo "Stopping Darwin Streaming Server: "
        [ -f /var/lock/dssd ] || exit 0
        echo "stopping..."
        killall streamingadminserver.pl
        rm -f /var/lock/dssd
        echo
        ;;

        restart)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
        ;;

        *)
        echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop|restart]"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0

Hi,

I have a problem with DSS, I'm unable to stream over internet but i have no problem to stream into a my local lan.

I have installed DSS versions 5.5.5 and 6.0.3 on a Ubuntu 9.04 Server and
Desktop editions. I try combinatiosn over 4 diferent servers.

The streaming works's fine with this clients on a local lan:

Quicktime ( Windows )
Mplayer ( Linux 1.0rc2-4.3.3 )
Vlc ( Linux 0.9.9a)
MP4Player ( Linux 1.6 )

But DSS only works fine with VLC client over internet ( with artifacts),
all other clients fail.

Is not a ports problem.

I can't get this to work in ubuntu 9.10 server.
At the end of the installation; after the administrator username and password is entered,
I get the message:

./Install: line 408: /usr/local/bin/qtpasswd: No such file or directory
./Install: line 416: /usr/local/bin/qtpasswd: No such file or directory

also my usr/local/sbin only contains a map called StreamingServerModules with nothing in it..

The /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml and the binarys to start the server are also nowhere to be found...:'(

[DAFORZE]

Okay so i tried it again, but this time on ubuntu desktop 9.10 and desktop 10.04.
But i get the exact same errors as i mentioned above??
I don't understand what am I doing wrong....? anyone?
