Hi Lars,

I'm pretty sure that you need a streaming server.

This might or might not be the case. I didn't had the time to set up a QT/DarwinStreamingServer but I checked the functionality using the following stream:

rtsp://a1303.l1857048516.c18570.g.lq.akamaistream.net/D/1303/18570/ v0001/reflector:48516 (this is NASA TV - I asume they're using a QTSS or similar)

that stream works fine in QuickTime Player but doesn't work using the Movie Loader patch (I get that hang again). A hang is a serious problem IMHO and should be fixed. But I doubt that Apple still will release a fix for Leopard. Should I file a bug report nevertheless?

Then you say you had success on SnowLeopard. Maybe it's time to upgrade for me. Until this is possible (I have some SW that is still problematic under SnowLeopard) I think I can live with using a beta of my v002 Movie Player from vade (http://002.vade.info/) which works like a charm even without a QTSS.

QT Broadcaster, as far as I understand it, only records/provides the unicast/multicast, but not an (RTSP) stream, which is what QC needs.
This is where the QT/Darwin Streaming server comes in.

Another option would be using the excellent Wirecast app (http:// www.telestream.net/wire-cast/overview.htm), which contains an integrated streaming server. Using this setup, I had no problems displaying streaming video (coming from a URL beginning with rtsp://) inside Quartz Composer*.
Unfortunately its a tad expensive.

* tested in SNL/QC4, though


regards,

        Lars

Hi,

I am new to the list and I don't know if this has already been discussed here. At least a search in the archives brought up nearly nothing on this topic.

I did the following: I wired up one Movie Loader patch and a Billboard patch by simply connecting the Image outlets. Everything worked so far when entering a path to a normal self contained movie. But as soon as I entered the path of the streaming movie I saved from QuickTime Broadcaster the whole Quartz Composer Application locked up so that I had to force quit it. I tried using a .sdp file and a reference movie instead - same result. The streaming movie and the .sdp file worked fine in QuickTime player.

This makes me wonder if I missed something obvious. Below the Asynchronous Mode checkbox (which I had checked) it says: "This allows audio playback as well as support for streaming movies". It didn't work in my case :-(

I use Quartz Composer 3.1 on Leopard (10.5.8) and did run QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.3 on the same machine (for testing purposes, the final setup will have QTB on a different location of course).

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,

        Lars
