Darwin Streaming Server
Welcome to Darwin Streaming Server, the open source version of
Apple’s QuickTime Streaming Server technology that allows you to send
streaming media to clients across the Internet using the industry
standard RTP and RTSP protocols. Based on the same code base as
QuickTime Streaming Server, Darwin Streaming Server provides a high
level of customizability and runs on a variety of platforms allowing you
to manipulate the code to fit your needs.
Who should use Darwin Streaming Server?
While sharing the same code base as QuickTime Streaming Server,
Darwin Streaming Server is an open source project intended for
developers who need to stream QuickTime and MPEG-4 media on alternative
platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Solaris, or those developers who
need to extend and/or modify the existing streaming server code to fit
their needs. Darwin Streaming Server is only supported by the open
source community and is not eligible for technical support from Apple.
Apple hosts a number of email discussion lists for Darwin Streaming
Server users and developers to share ideas and discuss deployment
scenarios.
Darwin Streaming Server is available as a free download under the
APSL.
QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) is Apple’s commercial streaming
server delivered as part of Mac OS X Server. QTSS provides users with
enhanced administration and media management tools as a result of the
tight integration with Mac OS X Server; these tools are not available as
part of the open source project. Technical support is available for QTSS
as part of the AppleCare support plans provided for Mac OS X Server and
Xserve.
Both DSS and QTSS are built on a core server that provides state of
the art quality of service features with Skip protection and Instant-On,
and support for the latest digital media standards, MPEG-4 and 3GPP.
