Hi

I am starting to play with my N900 and am trying to use gst-launch to capture and stream live video/audio. But due to my lack of understanding am not sure if/how I can do this so I can view the stream in RealPlayer, VLC Player, Windows Media player and a web page. In short I dont want to force the viewer to have to download any extra software to view the stream but allow them to use their player of choice.

Is this possible without any 3rd party software. I have downloaded OpenJDK and have implemented a basic http server to listen to incoming requests and start gst-launch which currently just captures a JPEG image and sends it using MJPEG format. This can be viewed in firebox and chrome but not in IE.

Anyway any tips or advise as I dont fully understand how gst-launch works and if it can create a stream accessable to the above players.

PS. I am currently only interested in running this on a WIFI LAN so I would know all the relavent IP addresses, but any advise of how to allow internet access would also be great.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I always used an application called "Bambuser"
Lets the user view it straight through the browser.

I used it to stage a racing tournament on DiRT2 online, The users seemed to enjoy it.....

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Is it the repository?

Also I am trying to develop somthing without 3rd party software so i can sell it as a solution. I am not too hot on the legal side of things so I am not sure if I could do that if I use someone elses software.

Also I was hoping that I couid do this with gst-launch and handle the rest in code using OpenJDK as my main programming language is JAVA.

i managed to create a rtp stream and viewed it on my dektop using the vlc player plugin in firefoc,chrome and ie.

so far so good but will this work over the internet. if i am at work will i receive the stream through the company nat.

any ideas would be great. also is there any way to get the stream viewsble in windows media player
