Losing count

I'm away preparing for my CISSP certification, and as such I haven't had time to work on the streaming, although it's nice to know others are having fun on it. Debbie from CTI was able to post a page up....pretty sweet...I need to find out if I can use linux tools to create MPEG4 files so I can stream this crap....

Day 4-5 : new frustration

I used mencoder to transcode some Windows media video to MPEG4 so I can try to stream using the Quicktime Streaming Server. Creating the web page from which to stream was really easy, but the video didn't play....I wonder why...and what settings I can use in order to set that up...

Day 2 & 3 - Progression

I was able to get OSXVnc installed, which I was more comfortable with in terms of remotely logging onto the Xserve. Runs really nicely. I retrieved a video file from the Computer Technology Integration (CTI) department at our institution, and am using my laptop to transcode it to an MPEG4 file I should be able to stream using the installed QuickTime Streaming Server...let's see how that goes tomorrow....

Restart: Day 1 - Resuscitation

After discovering that the server we got was bad (apparently it's the demo unit that goes to just about everyone) we shipped that one back and got another one.... I was able to get it set up and working so that I can SSH into it, but I'd like to get the Apple Remote Desktop going so I can do some of the other things I've been wanting to do with it....
