Step 3: Start Broadcast Service

To start and stop broadcasts, return to the Playlists Settings pane in Streaming Server Admin.

Click the Play button in the Controls column to start broadcasting a playlist, or click the Stop

button to stop broadcasting a playlist.

Step 4: Tell Users How to Connect to the Broadcast

To connect to the broadcast, users need software that can play QuickTime media, such as

QuickTime Player.

For best results, users should have the latest version of the QuickTime software installed on

their computers.

If you set up a Web page to show streamed media, users can connect to a broadcast using a

Web browser that has the QuickTime Plugin installed. You need to provide users with the

URL for the Web page and properly embed the link to play the media when clicked (see

“Setting Up a Web Page With Streamed Media” on page 10).

If users tune in to the broadcast using QuickTime Player, you need to provide them with the

URL for the SDP file that connects to the playlist broadcast.

Solving Problems With Playlists

If you enable logging, you can use the log ﬁle to troubleshoot problems that occur during

the broadcast.

If the media in the playlist is not being broadcast:

m Check Streaming Server Admin to make sure the streaming server is running.

m If the streaming server is running, open ProcessViewer on the server computer and make

sure a process called “PlaylistBroadcaster” is running. If it is and the media is not being

broadcast, stop the broadcast, delete the SDP file for the broadcast from the Darwin

Streaming Server movies directory, then restart the broadcast. A new SDP ﬁle is generated

when you restart the broadcast.

If the media in the playlist is not being broadcast randomly:

Make sure the Weighted Random play mode is speciﬁed.

If the media plays once and then stops:

Make sure the play mode is set to either Sequential Looped or Weighted Random.

If you broadcast the playlist as Weighted Random and set a value other than zero for

repeated items, make sure the number is less than the number of media ﬁles in the playlist.

If some media in the playlist is not played:

Check the weight you have assigned to each media ﬁle in the playlist. If you change the

playlist, you must stop and start the broadcast for the changes to take effect.
