Welcome back! I trust that 10 weeks of monkish existence achieved the dsired result.
What did you miss? Azkay and Smartcam got off to a flying start - that much you witnessed- but things then....lagged. Smartcam certainly works and well too over the WAN, but is camera centered in the sense that the camera phone calls the shots. Phonestreamer has a real strength there, as the viewer PC can make the connect.
So. I guess WAN functionality is one area of investigation.
With house moving my experiments lagged.... I am still trying to get 4g to work with my preferred router/firewall. So far the modem still taunts me..
I got a very bad result with vlc on the n900 and vlc on a PC over WAN. But it reached from n900 to the PC at the very least. Gst solution seem more tricky. Damn! I need to refocus again once I have stable internet access.
