How do I set up a media server in Linux which streams video over the internet?

Is it easy to do this? I want a server that will actually encode video in real time to allow it to stream over sometimes slow or unreliable networks. Basically, I want a server that works on the internet.

I have a directory with a bunch of video files, and want to make this accessible to myself remotely.

For other situations, I found great and useful software (such as the PS3 media server). I'd like to find something equally as useful for streaming video over the internet.

  • VLC possibly might work for you here.

    PLEX: plexapp.com SubSonic: subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp Both are easy to setup and will stream video, music, etc over the internet to your phone or web browser.

  • @Atari911 I've actually been using Plex for a while now. It's hands down the best solution I've found.
