I can't really provide you with a receipe for that. Study streaming protocols 
like RTSP. Setup a pipeline that plays from a rtsp source. You could e.g. then 
add some avaihi (bonjour/zeroconf) service that announces on the local net which 
cleint plays what video and then provide the means to take over the session from 
a different client.
