live stream help

[AKsteve]

Hi,
I need to take a URL for a live stream and have it pop up in a designated
media player.

For instance, the QuickTime stream will be coming from:
rtsp://catstream1.cat.uaf.edu/ruralhealth.sdp

I will have a link on a webpage that should open the QT player and start
playing the live feed from the above URL.

(I also have to do this with windows media from another URL.)

Anyone know how to do this?

I need to take a URL for a live stream and have it pop up in a designated
media player.

Leave the choice of media player to the user, concentrate on the
content.

For instance, the QuickTime stream will be coming from:
rtsp://catstream1.cat.uaf.edu/ruralhealth.sdp

I will have a link on a webpage that should open the QT player and start
playing the live feed from the above URL.

The average user is unlikely to have QT installed.

(I also have to do this with windows media from another URL.)

Anyone know how to do this?

<a href="rtsp://catstream1.cat.uaf.edu/ruralhealth.sdp">Media</a>

I would normally do this, but it is for a client at the local University and
certain things just have to be...
