Answer 1

Look into VLC as it has strong streaming capabilities, and support for probably any video/audio format. You will need to integrate libvlc in your app and pass command-line options to the libvlc.

Answer 2

If i understood your question correctly, you want to set up a video streaming server. The mostly common video streaming format for internet is HLS, which uses m3u8 playlists. You can start with ffmpeg using this tutorial (or any of tens of the others):
