Where is QTSS Publisher in 10.5 Server?

From the Streaming Server FAQ: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/faq.html
"QTSS Publisher comes installed on Mac OS X Server in the /Applications/Server directory. The application can be installed on other Mac OS X computers by simply copying it to those machines; no installer is required. QTSS Publisher is also available on the Mac OS X Server v10.4 Admin Tools CD."

No such application exists in the /Applications/Server/ directory in v10.5...and it's not on the Admin Tools CD, either. Does Publisher not exist anymore after v10.4, or has it moved to where I can't find it?

2.4Ghz MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.5), Also 2x2.66GHz Mac Pro, 2GHz iMac Core Duo, 2.4GHz MacBook Pro

The program was REMOVED from Mac OS 10.5 Server.

But the functionality still remains in an HTML WEB INTERFACE.

First turn on web admin access in the Server Admin app, then you need to ascertain the network address of your Streaming Server, then launch Safari and enter it:

172.xxx.xxx.xxx

with ":1220" at the end, like so:

http://172.xxx.xxx.xxx:1220/

Then you can log in with the web admin password you set in Server Admin, setup Playlists and everything else.

It's weird that they just killed this with no word, but it's okay. QTSS Publisher was buggy never worked well to begin with. The web interface is good at catching problems and alerting you instead of just immediately crashing.

Good luck.
