Streaming video

I have a media server at home. It contains about a TB of my favorite movies/clips in DivX/XviD format. It also has a FTP server running, so that I can access these files when I'm visiting friends. Is there a way I can setup these files to be streamable to other locations? So that I wouldn't have to download the whole movie when I'm away from home, but rather stream it to my remote Windows Media Player, VLC, Whatever...?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Re: Streaming video

This is probably possible. The easiest way is probably to use VLC or something similar. You have to initiate the streaming of a clip on the "server" though, as it seems. You should be able to control VLC from the command-line, as far as i know, but i've never tested this myself. Perhaps these links will be useful to you.

VLC can do streaming, and also transcoding on the fly:

I guess you could also have a look over here:
