[gentoo-user] [OT] Video streaming solution

[Rafael Bugajewski]

Hi all,

I search for a open source solution for video streams. What I want to do is to 
have a server with a simple GUI on which I can control several video streams 
that get distributed. The streams have to be distributed to thin clients or 
video projectors. In the case I would use video projectors I have the 
question: Are there some video projectors with a network interface? If yes, 
which protocol do they speak, is there a standard?

The clients (or projectors) should work this way that I turn them on and it 
just works, no configuration, no clicking, _nothing_. I know, that I can 
realize it with scripts, but I completely dunno what software to use. The 
whole controlling process should be done from the server.

The server itself should have a simple user interface (for users which dunno 
much about computers). They can configure which stream to show on which 
client and also disable the streams.

Does anybody has an idea how such a configuration can be realized and with 
which software?

Greets,

Rafael

for this part, you'll most likely have to look at network booting (if
you're using thin clients or workstations).

 The server itself should have a simple user interface (for users which dunno 
 much about computers). They can configure which stream to show on which 
 client and also disable the streams.

It sounds like you're going to have to integrate a few packages
yourself, to do just what you want.  I don't know of anything that will
do the whole lot for you.
