This caused the player's initialization to be inconsistent, and sometimes take longer, depending on the video. For the Netstream 2 decoder, an additional fix is required in the VideoCharger player in order to display the video duration correctly. FILESETS: avs.applsrv.server.rte 2.0.0.7 SUPERSEDED PTFS: ---------------- IY03068 supports NAT Tool This feature disables the client address checking when it is enabled to allow users to use the NAT tool. A new configuration option is introduced in the ISC.INI (/var/avs/config/ISC.INI) configuration data. This new value "APP_SERVER_NAT" can be set to "ON" or "OFF". A value of "ON" configures the application server to relax some security features of the server, and allows use of the NAT facilities. A value of "OFF" (default), allows the server to run in normal mode. IY03036 Cannot stream from server on different domain Users cannot request stream from the server that has the different domain. The fix is to set the domain in the response from application requester. IY02907 Multicast QuickTime 4 Added support for multicasting QuickTime 4 videos IY00421 Quicktime movie support Support for Quicktime media type IY00408 Resource leak in Application Requester VideoCharger is consuming mbufs. This can be confirmed with the command "netstat -m". Once mbufs reach a 64MB limit the server crashes. Stopping and restarting VideoCharger will cause the mbufs to be released.
