show stream in webpage

[R C]

Hello Simon,

I am by no means an expert on using gstreamer, the applications nor
libraries, and I somewhat struggled to get things going.

I might be way off, totally wrong, but from what I understand is that
tcpserversink is more like a mechanism/feature one uses to create an
endpoint for (a) stream(s). (of course you can change that stream with all
kinds of options). I believe it's intended use is more for when you have a
whole bunch of streams and want to make one stream of it with multiple
"channels" so you can direct that stream or it's channels elsewhere, as if
it were an object as in coding. (I am sure I am totally wrong with the
exact terminology).  You would still have to "tap into it" by embedding it
in some HTML object (regardless if you would use HTTP or HTTPS, because it
is still a stream and not some well defined thing a browser would
understand.  At some point I was actually looking at apache server plugins
to connect to a tcpserversink (I tried some other sinks too), but that got
too complicated, I just wanted something that could display IP cameras in
an HTML window/object and was not looking into moving around video streams
most efficiently

I actually tried using it, and couldn't figure it out.  That why I decided
to use the thing that I sent earlier, it was easier for me to understand,
and did what I want,  embed a stream in to a browser, that most (preferably
all) browsers would understand.

The stream I converted it into looks like a URL to a "movie file" and is
"HTTP",  I can do that because I access those cameras over a separate
network, and nothing else is on it.  Serving it just depends on how you set
(for example) your apache server up. I guess you could stream using a HTTPS
URI instead of a HTTP one,  but it sounds like you would need some extra
filters, a certificate etc etc etc. (and I didn't want to go there either.)

anyway,  the thing I posted earlier seems to work for me,  I never
reallygot the tcpserversink mechanism to work for embedding a stream into a
web page.
