Adding an RTSP streaming track

The client movie, which is the movie you're creating for RTSP streaming, resides on an HTTP server and references a streaming movie on an RTSP server. The URL to the streaming movie is stored in the client movie's streaming track.

To add an RTSP streaming track:

1. Drag a Streaming Track icon from the QuickTime set  of the Objects palette into the track list area of the Timeline Editor. (See Adding tracks to movies.) On the Basic tab of the Streaming Track Inspector, set the properties such as the position and size of the streaming track. (See Setting the basic track and sample properties.)
2. In the RTSP tab of the Streaming Track Inspector, enter the URL for the streaming movie in the Link text box.
3. Click the Get Streaming Properties button to open a connection to the RTSP URL and then obtain important attributes about the streaming movie, such as dimensions and duration. (If the streaming content is a live broadcast, it has no specific duration.) You can cancel your connection in GoLive to the RTSP server by pressing any key.

Use the Get Streaming Properties button to test the link to the streaming server.

4. Choose a duration from the Timeout menu to specify when you want GoLive to stop attempting to connect to the streaming server. This setting applies only when you're working in GoLive, and does not apply to the streaming movie in a Web page when a viewer's client movie attempts to connect to the RTSP server.
