streaming video handoff

Hi,

I am new to gstreamer framework, I just finished reading the Gstreamer Application Development manual (0.10.20.1) I want to know if it is possible to do the following and any suggestions on how to start:

I want to transfer the ongoing streaming media from a computer to another computer. the media should continue playing on the new computer and stop playing on the old one without loosing any frames. I also need to be able to control the frames on the streaming server.

please send my any suggestion...!

Regards

Majdi

if you also do the client, the client could connect to the new server
and drop the connection to the old as soon as it has received data from
the new. This all requires some effort on your side, so this won't be
out of the box.

hi Stefan,

Thank you for your reply, as I stated before I am still new to gstreamer is there any document or tutorial that show me how to stream video using gstreamer ?
Is there any existing code or application that I can use as starting point and then change the codes to suit my needs?
what do you suggest to read after I finished /Gstreamer Application Development manual (0.10.20.//1)/?

Thanks again
Majdi

Hi stefan,

Just to explain exactly what I am trying to do I have a mobile user watching video on computer A after a certain time the user wants to continue watching the same video on computer B - the video should start at computer B from the current video position not from the beginning of the video- keep in my mind i do not want to loose any frames when I transfer the video session.

Hopefully this gives you an idea what I am trying to develop using gstreamer .

Thanks
Majdi

Ah, I misread this a bit. That should be possible too, but you would
need a session. When you continue on the 2nd computer, you would need to
tell the sever what session to continue. I have no idea if a feature
like this existing already in session protocols (rtsp).
if so, you still have the issue how to transfer that
session-identification from computer 1 to 2.

I can't really provide you with a receipe for that. Study streaming protocols
like RTSP. Setup a pipeline that plays from a rtsp source. You could e.g. then
add some avaihi (bonjour/zeroconf) service that announces on the local net which
cleint plays what video and then provide the means to take over the session from
a different client.
