Hi

I am trying to use gst-launch to view a live video stream over the internet. So far I have been able to stream to VLC and quicktime players using sdp files, but only when running on the same LAN.

The normal approach is to use a media server. I dont want to do this for such a simple task ( I hope its simple ). I can write python and java ( and if not too complex C and C++).

Can anyone suggest the easiest way to implement a live stream between gst-launch and a media player over the internet.

Please only reply if your reply does not suggest using a media server or other products. I want this to be 100% my own implementation.

Thanks in advance..

Just want to make sure I was clear about what i am asking.

I want to stream from my N900 camera which will be at my home to a media player I use at work. So I can open any ports needed on my home router but have no control over the companies firewall/NAT.

Lastly, I will be the only one viewing the stream so I dont have to handle multiple clients.

Thanks
