QuickTime Streaming Server: Configuration File Syntax Changed in Version 2.0.1

In QuickTime Streaming Server 2.0.1 (QTSS), the syntax of the configuration files has changed. When entering a string that contains spaces in a configuration file, the string must be enclosed in quotation marks.

QuickTime Streaming Server 2.0 syntax

• relay_source in_addr=224.98.98.45 src_addr=17.98.45.45 in_ports=5000 5002 5004 ttl=15
• relay_destination dest_addr=17.254.98.45 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=1980 1982 1984
• relay_destination dest_addr=226.91.45.78 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=10010 10012 10014 ttl=15

QuickTime Streaming Server 2.0.1 or later syntax

• relay_source "in_addr=224.98.98.45 src_addr=17.98.45.45 in_ports=5000 5002 5004 ttl=15"
• relay_destination "dest_addr=17.254.98.45 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=1980 1982 1984"
• relay_destination "dest_addr=226.91.45.78 out_addr=17.98.45.45 dest_ports=10010 10012 10014 ttl=15"

If QTSS has been updated to QTSS 2.0.1 from an earlier version, existing configuration files must be edited manually to include the necessary quotes.

• The path to the QTSS Relay configuration file is: /etc/qtssrelay.conf
• On Darwin Streaming Server platforms, the path to the default Relay file is: /etc/streamingrelay.conf
