Streaming Mpeg over TCP/IP Network
hi,
im currently researching about streaming mpeg transport streams over ip networks. i was thinking of making a server that broadcasts mpeg-2 or 4 and a client which will listen, recieve, decode then play the video streams. so the idea is pretty much like iptv only i will be using java for both the server and the client and source could be an mpeg file(like a vod) or recieved broadcast from satellite.
right now im having troubles finding resources from the internet that i might be needing since i have no idea what things should i look for. i heard about mpeg-j api but i cant seem to find the package. i also looked into JMF but i didnt went further since i heard that it only supports mpeg-1 and quicktime and it uses something that they call RTP to transport stream over the network. what i need is something standard that normal set-up box can recieve like ATM/IP or things like that.
so to make the story short my questions are:
1. does the mpeg-j api exist?
2 if it does where can i find it and its documentation?
3 can i use it(mpeg-api) to broadcast mpeg stream over IP netwroks?
4 if it doesnt then what other api's can i use besides that?
5. any other links, reading materials, sample application, technology, api's that i should look into?
my advance thanks to all of you.....
