I am able to view this streaming video on my Ubuntu machine, but for some reason I can't view it in Windows XP using Firefox or IE, all I get is this: Firefox Screenshot | IE Screenshot

I've even hinted the movie as per the Dreamhost Wiki

Any idea's?

Looks like you figured out that you needed to link to a "reference" movie and not the RTSP URL.

cool openvein.org -//-

Yes, I got it now, the "SRC" needed to be changed to a HTTP accessible file (not RTSP) so I needed to create a dummy file "motion/poster.mov" (0 bytes) and set that as the SRC and leave the "QTSRC" as the RTSP file.
:-D

Now I am having more problems, I am trying to embed a audio file using QT Streaming Server.

It plays fine in Ubuntu Linux, but won't in XP using firefox or ie :(

Any idea's?
