Web stream video player (received from vlc)

[zecas]

Hi,

I'm creating a web page to list some contents to clients, and I want to reserve a space for video play.

The video is planned to display some publicity videos, and so I was planning in using vlc to send a rtp/http/"whatever_way_it_works" video across the network, and the webpage would, for example, include an applet to display the videos thrown at it.

Now it looks like vlc works fine, and I was planning to use the console interface to stream videos on background, but I need a player ...

Can anyone name a free player that can do the job?

Since I'm making the webpages using Java, an applet would be great ... but I really need a solution that works. I need no commands at all, just a simple stream player.

I like vlc since I could for example, throw any video at it, and them stream in a specific format, so for example if vlc can read a movie format, it would then transcode the stream to say MPEG1 encapsulation and mpv1 transcodiong video codec, so it's great as I can just use a player that reads that specific format ... correct me if I'm wrong.

Now I just have to find a way of displaying it.


Thanks.
