Hello,
A church wants to include a live streaming video to show their services over their website. Is there any documentation or thread available so I can learn how to do it in Freeway? I’m using Freeway 6 now.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Streaming live requires a special server, capable of running RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). The camera sends its feed to that server, which acts as a “reflector” to all subscribed streaming viewers.
All versions of Mac OS X Server come with one, and there’s an open-source version of QuickTime Streaming Server for Linux and Solaris, too. But this has nothing at all to do with Freeway, or even HTML. You would place a QuickTime Streaming movie on your page, which would simply be a redirect to the real server, running elsewhere.
If you don’t want to set this up yourself, I believe that Dreamhost has QTSS on their regular shared accounts, all set up and ready to go. Not sure if that does reflecting, though, it might just stream already compressed movies to the world. In that case, all it is doing is ensuring that you can watch the video, but not save it locally.

That’s correct. No live broadcasting, only properly prepared and hinted .mov files, according to their wiki. I have a client on DH but haven’t yet tried streaming. They also offer Flash streaming.

Hi Walter and Todd,
Thank you!
I didn’t have the time Yesterday to answer to this thread. I got it now.
I will take a look at the open-source version of QuickTime Streaming Server for Linux and Solaris.
Again,
Thanks a lot,
