A system for remotely offering home media contents, and a remote playback terminal and a method thereof are provided to search the home media contents by a request of the media playback terminal connected from the outside of the home network through the Internet and offer the media contents selected through the media playback terminal by a user in real-time. A location information register(101) detects change of an IP(Internet Protocol) address assigned to a home server(100), and manages and registers the latest information of the IP address of the home server to a DNS(Domain Name Service) server. A content list searcher collects media content list information in the home network by receiving a search request from the remote playback terminal connected with the IP address information registered to the location information register, converts storing position information among collected content meta-information into an official IP address/port, and feeds back a converted content list to the remote playback terminal. A media forwarding processor(103) transmits the media contents to the remote playback terminal by setting port forwarding between a home terminal and the remote playback terminal.
