[streaming] streaming over tcp vs udp

[Brandon Dohman]

i have been trying to implement a video streaming solution using the 
jvlc, and have been successfull in streaming rtp.  but with rtp being 
sent over udp, the stream gets blocked by many routers and firewalls.  
is there another way i can do this so that the stream will be sent over 
tcp.  i know i could lose parts of the video, but the video would still 
be possible.  i am wanting this stream to be played in a java client.  i 
haven't tried this, but could it potentially work using jvlc to play an 
http stream from vlc streaming http?

thanks for your help
