Streaming the PiCamera

[boylesg]

I have seen raspivid examples where you stream the picamera to an external website such as youtube.

But my situation and goals is this.

I have created a record on FreeDNS and ADLS modem port forwarding entry such that I can access a web page hosted on my RPi via boylesg.privatedns.org:81

In that web page I have embedded a VLC player thing via
<object classid"............>
<embed type="application"..........
</embed>
</object>

How would I stream the Picamera to this embedded player on demand when a user views that web page?

The above HTML tags require a src for the video.

There are several thread on similar topics on this forum:

I think embedding a VLC player is somewhat unnecessary in the age of HTML5 and websockets.

Thank you VERY MUCH folks.

I ended up landing on this page and successfully installed it all.

It is EXACTLY what I wanted and all without having to build it all from scratch.

It is always much more convenient to gain an understanding of things like this by reverse engineering it rather than having to start from a position of little or no knowledge.
