I have Media Services 9 running Windows 2003. I have http, mms and
rtsp control protocols all enabled. It works great when using Windows
Media Player, but I want to be able to support Quicktime and Real
Player if possible using RTSP. I have the default port of 554 enabled
for RTSP. Trying to get Quicktime to access the publishing point and
I get "unsupported transport". I'm using a server side playlist on
this publishing point. Any idea if this is indeed compatible?
Thanks.

Steve

It's not compatible. The version of RTSP used in WMS is marginally
standards compliant, but not enough for players which actually follow
the documented standards (i.e. Real and QT)

You'll have to use Darwin or Helix streaming servers instead.
