Gourt Home::Gourt :: Darwin Streaming Server
Darwin Streaming Server (DSS), is the first open sourced RTP/RTSP streaming server. It was released March 16th, 1999 and is a fully featured RTSP/ media streaming server capable of streaming a variety of media types including H.264, MPEG-4 and 3GPP.
It is the open source equivalent of Apple's QuickTime Streaming Server.
The initial DSS source code release compiled only on Mac OS X. But, external developers quickly ported the code to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Tru-64 Unix, and Mac OS 9.
Source code is available as a release download or as development code via CVS
Akamai uses DSS, exclusively, for streaming QuickTime and MPEG-4 content.
As of this writing, the current version is Darwin Streaming Server 5.5.
