 Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:22 am Post subject: HTTP Server Won't Enable |
 |
|
No matter what I have done, I cannot get the "checkbox" to enable on the trial version...
I uploded the entire folder the contains the php script along with, creating a folder named "Live" which is writable...
This would be great and I would purchase this right now if, I could only get it to work...
I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Media Services.... I would like to be able to provide both live and "saved" prerecorded programs on this site... I even have the .tv domain purchased
Am I allowed to use the domain name in lieu of the static IP? I am sharing a couple of other sites with that IP on my dedicated server.... |

I suppose that you entered a wrong IP address into the 'HTTP Server > IP Addresses' box. The program checks the address and disables the feature, if the address doesn't reply. You should select an available address from the IP Addresses pull-down list.

The HTTP Server doesn't have any php script. I think you used the template for the HTTP Upload feature. They are absolutely independent.

You can use the DNS name, not the domain name, if you don't have a router.

OK - I cannot use the HTTP Upload because I do not allow HTTP web publishing to my server, only method of publishing is either FTP or WebDav....
To answer your question regarding the DNS issue, I use virtual hosts on my dedicated server hence, the one IP I want to use resolves to at least three other host names at the DNS server, and forwarded to the proper virtual server on my machine so, I need to resolve to say worldnewsvine.tv
I do not know.... maybe just finding something else is the way to go... I am simply looking for an answer not some high school level answers regarding this software...
Is there an easy step by step method to which, I can get this to run FTP style on my dedicated server AND with the other "Chosen few" being allowed to broadcast from this location, will they need to run this same software?
A nice, step one, step two, step three will work.... the HTTP issue was an afterthought since I only allow FTP or WebDav publication to the server... |

I have figured out how to get the FTP upload functioning however, when I switch to "movie" mode I am now getting an "exception" error...
Is there another "piece" to this puzzle that must be loaded onto the remote webserver (java wise) to have the webcam page refresh thereby, emulating Live broadcast? |

How to build a good protection against upload attacks:

The HTTP Server feature consist of two parts, the program as a video source and the java applet in the web page on web hosting. The applet sends requests, gets images and views them on the web page. So the program operates by local IP addresses, if you have a router, and by Internet IP addresses (or DNS names) in other case.
http://www.willingsoftware.com/help/HTTP%20Server.shtml
Where is the program running?
By the way, it's possible to use IIS from your Windows Server 2008 and save images for it by the Picture feature.
If IIS is working already, it can cause problems, blocking the local ip address with a port. By default, the port is 80.

Mainly all features are independent and you can run a few of them at the same time. Besides you can run a few WW copies from different directories to keep their settings (they will need only one license on the same computer).

Do you mean the HTTP Upload feature? http://www.willingsoftware.com/help/HTTP%20Upload.shtml You can protect the target directory by a password.

The 'Movie save' feature is independent.
Try to disable the 'Movie save > Enable Text/Time Captions' option.
If you mean the 'Video Device > Video Source > Movie' option, you have to use only MPEG4 video files.

Please take a look at the 'Program Files\Willing Webcam\Web Pages\FTP Upload\index.html' webpage template. You are free to change the template to meet your needs if you want to. Its java script is used to refresh the webcam image only without affecting other webpage elements.

So in other words.... it is impossible for me to send a live streaming feed to the server, or anyone else for that matter...
I know all about refresh rates and the like... however, that is limited to a one second (fastest rate) and since the naked eye sees something like 33 frames per second... that's hardly live... |

The max rate for the HTTP Server feature is 1 frame per 2 seconds for the Net. Usually it equals to 1 frame per 3-4 seconds. The rate for the FTP Upload or for HTTP Upload is worse, because they don't have double buffering. I suppose you will be able to find a software with a rate better than that, but with the hard image compression.
