How to display a video stream from an IP address in a webpage?

I have been given a network IP address. In the format of http://192.168.1.15

When I enter this address into VLC Player, it streams fine.

The stream itself is a DVB/MPEG TS stream transcoded to MP4.

What steps do I need to take to display this in a webpage?

You should use some sort of plugin like Flash or Java.

There could be an existing player which you can use to play the stream, but I don't know any.

Look for the Apple QuickTime MP4 codec add-on for your browser. That should allow you to view any MP4 streams.

I tried this:<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="256" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" align="middle" > <param name="src" value="http://10.93.1.154" /> <param name="autoplay" value="true" /> <embed src="http://10.93.1.154" width="320" height="256" pluginspage=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ align="middle" autoplay="true" bgcolor="black" > </embed></object>browser requires a plugin that it can't find (I've installed Quicktime). It it tries to download the stream as "application/octet-stream"

I misunderstood the question! Sorry about that!Try this, and then replace the file with yours:<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" width="340" height="320"> <param name="src" value="http://streaming.umd.edu/academic/li/myvideos/test-mp4.mp4" /> <param name="autoplay" value="false" /> <embed src="http://streaming.umd.edu/academic/li/myvideos/test-mp4.mp4" type="image/x-macpaint" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" width="340" height="320" autoplay="false"></embed> </object>

You could also use the VLC plugin activex/mozilla plugin. Not widely used but promising.

Ive put some examples here
