  VLC has a server mode that you can use in Linux do this. Using cat to netcat won't make it speak the RTP protocol.

I had been looking for such a solution this weekend.
Since i found one i thought to share it for future researchers.

PC 1 = Server. The PC in my lan having my movie stored

$ netcat -l -p 8111 <mymovie.mp4      # -p 8111 :port 8111. Can be any port

#OR 

$ cat mymovie.mp4 |netcat -l -p 8111  # -l : listening mode

PC 2 = Client. The PC connected to my TV

$ netcat 192.168.1.116 8111 |vlc -         # Change IP accordingly to find PC1

#OR 

$ cat </dev/tcp/192.168.1.116/8111 |vlc -  # in Bash

Instead of vlc you can use mpv or any other video player as soon as read from standard input is supported.

Next Weekend Task:

Serve mymovie.mp4 to client alongside with subtitles srt file

You need execute this command on server:

vlc -vvv zzx.rmvb  --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}'

mms://server_ip_address:8080

As the above，I use mms/mmsh to redirect video by network. Vlc support other stream methods. For example:http,udp,rtp/rtsp and so on.

You need execute this command on server:

vlc -vvv zzx.rmvb  --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8080}'

And then,you can execute this command on client:

mms://server_ip_address:8080

As the above，I use mms/mmsh to redirect video by network. Vlc support other stream methods. For example:http,udp,rtp/rtsp and so on.
