I'm looking for a piece of software that I can run on a server that can transcode video files in a directory and stream them via flash to a client. Think MythstreamTV from Mythweb but instead of listing myth recordings, give me a directory listing. I click on one of the files in the directory and it transcodes and streams it to me via flash.
Doesn't seem like rocket science to me but I can't come up with anything packaged up to do this. I've found many components to do this from the transcoding side to the streaming side but nothing I can just pop on a server and access. VLC needs you to make playlists and the like from what I see. ORB and TVersity let you do it through their servers - I don't need that.
The goal is to access my 'movies' folder from the road over VPN where I may not have the bandwidth to play back at default bitrates or formats. This is pretty much the norm in a hotel from what I've found even though I have plenty of upstream bandwidth from my side.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
