Remote streams allow you to access most <span class="application">MPlayer</span>
stream type from a remote host. The main purpose of this feature is to make
it possible to directly use the CD or DVD drive of another computer on the
network (provided you have the required bandwidth). On the downside some
stream type (currently TV and MF) are not usable remotely because they are
implemented at the demuxer level. It is sad for MF but TV stream would anyway
require an insane amount of bandwidth.

After having compiled <span class="application">MPlayer</span> go to the
<tt class="filename">TOOLS/netstream</tt> directory and enter
<span class="application">make</span> to build the server binary.
You can then copy the <span class="application">netstream</span> binary
to the right place on your system (usually
<tt class="filename">/usr/local/bin</tt> on Linux).
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="use_mpst"></a>3.5.2.Using remote streams</h3></div></div></div><p>
First you have to start the server on the computer you intend to remotely
access. Currently the server is very basic and does not have any commands
line arguments so just enter <tt class="filename">netstream</tt>. Now you can
for example play the second track of a VCD on the server with :
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer -cache 5000 <em class="replaceable"><code>mpst://servername/vcd://2</code></em>
</pre><p>
You can also access files on this server :
</p><pre class="screen">
mplayer -cache 5000 <em class="replaceable"><code>mpst://servername//usr/local/movies/lol.avi</code></em>
</pre><p>
Note that paths which aren't starting with a / will be relative to
the directory where the server is running. The <tt class="option">-cache</tt> option is not
needed but highly recommended.
</p><p>
Be aware that currently the server is not secure at all. So do not complain
about the numerous exploits which are possible through this. Instead send
some (good) patch to make it better or start writing your own server.
