How to install Darwin Streaming Server in Windows XP

You have to first install activeperl
Refer to my article to get this done.

Then refer to this and this.
Choose earlier version of Darwin Streaming Server at here.
When you download this file, extract it to somewhere.
Browse into the folder, and click install.bat.
Then it will beginning a console and begin installation.
It will ask you to type a user name and a password.
Then it will say "adding userName XXX"
In my case, it will hang there.
I just close the window.
Browse into "C:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server" or wherever else that you install you darwin streaming server, and click streamingadminserver.pl, a console will appear and hang there, then your server is beginning to listen on the port 1220

Open a browser with URL "http://localhost:1220"
A quicktime logo will appear and ask you for username and password.
Then it works.
Follow the steps and choose port 80 to go through the firewalls.

Hope you will enjoy it.
But I don't think it is useful for you. I use it because I need to hack iphone:)

To stream MP4 files in Darwin Streaming Server (Windows) you need MP4BOX to hint the file.

example:
"MP4BOX -hint X: \file.mp4"

if your stream file doesn't work; you maybe forget to hint video file. To hint video, Use MP4Box.exe available on MP4BOX_GPAC.Framework or My MP4Box GUI v0.6.0.6.7z or Yamb. I found it on http://www.videohelp.com/tools/mp4box.

I can stream video on my Nokia C3-00 . And It works very well.

Actually, I'm stuck to how to create a continuous streaming using a playlist
