A "reflecting" server, one that is to receive your broadcast stream and reflect it, must have a Broadcast User name and password set separately for broadcast reception and reflection. This is separate from the QuickTime Streaming Server Admin user account and password that the original installation Setup Assistant requests. Follow these steps:
1. Open a web browser and connect to the reflecting server's streaming server admin at port 1220 (for example, http://address_of_reflecting_server:1220 ).
2. Log in using the QuickTime Streaming Server Admin user name and password originally configured in the Server Assistant. If this is the first time you have done this, a web-based Setup Assistant will open. This assistant will prompt you for a Broadcast User password and confirmation, but it may not give you an opportunity to assign a Broadcast User name.
3. If you are not prompted for the Broadcast User name, you need to make some additional settings in QTSS Admin. Select General Settings from the list of options, then Change Movie Broadcast Password, which will let you define the Broadcast User name as well as the corresponding password.
4. At the broadcast source server, open QuickTime Broadcaster, and select Show Details. Click the Network tab, and enter the new name and password information into the Username and password fields. Be sure that the file name is what you want it to be (the default is "mystream"), then start QuickTime Broadcaster.
To connect with QuickTime Player, connect to the reflecting server using this URL format:
rtsp://address_of_reflecting_server/my_stream_name
