Note: Any reference in this article to Mac OS X Server pertains to version 1.2, which was released prior to May 2001.
You can display the QTSS server status and stats via HTTP by following these steps:
1. In NetInfoManager, locate the settings for QuickTime Streaming Server.
2. Locate the property named:
web_stats_url:
3. Give this property a value such as "privatestats" (or whatever you prefer).
4. Stop and restart the QuickTime Streaming Server.
This enables real-time status and stats to be viewed via HTTP. From a web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator), use the following URL to access this information:
http://yourserver.ip.com:554/privatestats
(substitute the IP or DNS name for "yourserver.ip.com")
To administer the QuickTime Streaming Server remotely, you can use "niutil" from a telnet session as root. For example, use the following command to replace steps 1-3, above:
# niutil -createprop . /services/QuickTimeStreamingServer
web_stats_url privatestats
(this is one-long line, press [RETURN] at the end of "privatestats")
For further information on niutil, consult the man pages via the command 'man niutil'
