Stream movies from home server over internet

[illy123]

Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and I have got a VNC, FTP, SSH, Apache server running on it. I would love to setup a media server on it so that when I'm away from home I can stream my movies rather than download them via ftp (made even worse by my slow upload speed).

I installed fuppes however I think that only streams to xboxes, playstations, etc :/

Is there a piece of software that I could put on top of apache? So that when I'm out and about I can just open my website and from there open my password-protected media server and stream any movie file I chose?

I guess tversity but for linux.

Thanks

I have a symlink in my www folder to my ~/Movies directory.

I can stream my divx encoded movies using this method - http://labs.divx.com/WebPlayerCodeGenerator.

Its not the most efficient way, I know, but it works...
