It seems like playing an asr stream is still a bit of a conundrum for many people. Apple has added the ability to leverage asr streams in NetBoot images in Mac OS X Server (aka NetRestore), but no tool for actually serving up a stream. That’s why I decided to write a little app to wrap your asr and fire up a quick and dirty multicast asr stream. When you open it, it will ask you a couple of questions and let you select the dmg file that you’ll be serving up. Main points, the data rate, which you can see here.
Then the multicast address that your stream will be served from:
Overall, a little, quick application thrown together. If there is interest I’ll post over at Google Code; otherwise it’s just here for your use if anyone wants it. I’m not much of a graphics guy, so no flashy whatnot by the way…
