QTSS broadcaster can't connect using Automatic...

I have the latest version of QTSS set up on my G4-iMac and it is running. I have QTBroadcaster running on the same machine and I can watch the feed in the preview window. I have the correct host name ie the ip address of the QTSS (This machines ip address) everything else is blank.



When I click the broadcast button I get 'Prerolling', the I get a box asking for username and password. I don't know why because broadcaster and QTSS are running on the same machine.



To try to overcome the problem I have added a file in HD/LIBRUARY/QTSTREAMING/MOVIES called qtaccess and added a user, I then used the sudo qtpasswd command to add the password for that user. I stopped QTSS and broadcaster, started them both again and re-tried to connect, but no luck. I just keep getting asked for username and password.



What am I doing wrong?

    Use the administrator user and password?

    Tried that no go. Logically that wouldn't be it anyway. If you set up a streaming server and you let people have access to it you wouldn't want them to know the admin password of the server.

    I set up a user and it worked for me...ever since the preview, though I did have to chuck my old prefs when the 1.0 release came out.

    It won't accept any username or password.
