30 Chapter 3 Managing Your QuickTime Streaming Server
Changing the Streaming Media Directory
QuickTime Streaming Server has one main media directory (/Library/
QuickTimeStreaming/Movies/). If you have a reason to specify another directory for
your streaming media (for example, you might want to switch the directory to another
hard disk), you can do so. You must ensure that the owner of the new directory is the
system user “qtss”. The owner can be changed from Workgroup Manager, the Finder, or
the command line.
To specify another media directory:
1 In Server Admin, click QuickTime Streaming under the server in the Computers &
Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Enter a pathname in the Media Directory text field or click the button next to the field
to choose a folder.
4 Click Save.
Binding the Streaming Server Admin Computer to an IP Address
If your streaming server admin computer is multihomed (for example, if you’re also
hosting a web server), you can specify what IP address QTSS should bind to.
To specify an IP address:
1 In Server Admin, click QuickTime Streaming.
2 Click Settings, then click IP Bindings.
3 Select the Bind checkbox for the desired IP address.
4 Click Save.
Hosting Streams From Multiple User Media Directories
QuickTime Streaming Server can have only one main media directory. By enabling
home directory support, however, users can stream on-demand files or playlists from
their home directory.
To configure QTSS to stream movies located in users’ home directories:
1 In Server Admin, click QuickTime Streaming.
2 Click Settings, then click Access.
3 Select “Enable home directory streaming.”
4 Click Save.
