rtp and rtsp player integration to browser

Question

I am trying to build a web service that will stream music over a web browser. I got a server running to open up a web page that says "hello world". The problem is that I do not understand what I need to put in the web page to start a rtp session. I understand that I need some sort of player on the web page I'm opening but I do not understand how to make that player or how to show it up on the web page. can someone help me?

A little late to the party here, but ...

You will need a player of some kind.

Currently, the browsers do not support playing a live RTP stream. I've done some work in this area and it has required that I transcode the video to FLV for it to be viewable in many of the free flash players (i.e. JWPlayer, Flowplayer, etc.).

You could also write a custom browser plugin to read the RTP stream and display it in the browser but that would be sizeable undertaking.
