How to use StarPlayrX with QuickTime Player

Open StarPlayrX, Quicktime Player and Terminal:

try this in terminal first:

curl http://localhost:9999/api/v3/ping

If it returns "pong" this verifies StarPlayrX's internal web server is up and running. If not try incrementing the port#, IE 10000.

Once you get 'pong', the endpoint to stream a channel in QuickTime player is similar:

http://localhost:[portNumber]/api/v3/m3u/[channelNumber]

Open Location in Quicktime player and try:

http://localhost:9999/api/v3/m3u/1

if it doesn't work try incrementing the port # by 1

http://localhost:10000/api/v3/m3u/1

You can always verify the endpoint using terminal with:

curl http://localhost:[portNumber]/api/v3/m3u/1

Which should return a playlist.

or

curl http://localhost:[portNumber]/api/v3/ping

Which should return pong.

Provided the StarPlayrX is running and the portNumber happens to be correct. StarPlayrX will always try to start on port 9999. If that port is not available it will go to 10000, and so on.
