RSS Consumer

An RSS consumer that utilizes AJAX technology to consume and display RSS feeds on web sites. Additional effort is required to make this script ADA compliant.

Quicktime Streaming on CSUN VOD Server

Currently vod.csun.edu (nighthawk) has two methods of making media available for consumption, streaming through Quicktime Streaming Server and being served as a file by apache.

To share a movie via apache on port 80, put the movie in the ~username/Movies folder in the users home directory on the vod.csun.edu server. Apache has been configured to serve contents in that folder via the http protocol (port 80). When a movie is shared in this manner the browser will download the content locally for viewing which can then be saved.

To set up a movie for streaming the source movie should be put in ~username/Sites/Streaming and will be served by the Quicktime Streaming Server via port 554 using the rtsp protocol. Streaming movies will not be downloaded locally.

If there are movies that are intended to be provided to users with different data rates it is recommended to create a reference movie to consolidate all movies into one movie "wrapper". It is also recommended to wrap all streams in a reference movie to prompt the browser to load the quicktime object for streaming. Read a short tutorial on how to create reference movies.
