I am checking one question in SO, which is this, and I thought a question can iPhone also play this files or it will only support M3U8 for live streaming.
I recommend checking out the RadioTunes SDK. You may have a one time payment, but it's a great streaming solution library you can drop into your application. I used it for one of my previous clients who wanted to create a Radio Streaming app and he was very satistifed

I am trying existing to stream music/video on an iphone using HTTP Live Streaming. I read the apple docs on HTTP live streaming (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StreamingMediaGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html), and I get how it works.
What it doesn't say is how one would use iphone as a server? Do I have to add the tools to my ios app(mediastreamsegmenter, variantplaylistcreator) and run it as a NSTask or is there some kind of native support to stream media files.
If you really want to stream from an iPhone app you can't do this with the iPhone acting as a server. You need a separate server where you can send data from the iPhone app. So you can use the camera or the microphone in the app to get live content and then you can send asynchronously data to the server, which using mediastreamsegmenter and variantplaylistcreator will convert the data to ts segments and then will append them at the end of the m3u8 file and meanwhile another iPhone app can act as a client and watch the live content that you are streaming from the first app.
From my experience this is the only way to achieve that. Hope that helps.
I'm looking for a way to create an app that will allow captured camera video to be streamed on a computer. For example, one person could be walking an iPhone around a room and another person could have that video streamed on their computer. Something kind of like a one-way Facetime except the receiver is on a computer. Also, I can't just use an existing app as later I would like to change the program to do some computer vision processing on the incoming data.
At the moment, I've found that AV Foundation should be the correct option for the video capture (from this question). However, I'm having difficulty finding the method by which I can actually stream this data. In particular, searching for how to create the apps on the iPhone frequently results in existing apps that do the task, but not how to create the app.
Can anyone give me a pointer to the information on how to stream the video capture from the iPhone? Thank you much.
You can use "Wowza media Server" for Streaming purpose
For wowza media server doenload :
Wowza Download
After installing wowza Now you need to set up live setting in wowza for that purpose you need:
Setting Up Live Application
For iOS side there is library is useful for video streaming using RTMP connection
You can get Library at
RTMP library for Streaming
Library example
RTMP library for Streaming example
In this good example of Streaming from iOS side
I had success with ANGL lib and Wowza media server. It gives smooths RTMP stream.
I just started work on live streaming on iPhone. So any help of how to do live streming in iPhone. I think if I can add video tag in HTML5 and then load that html in UIWebView will work.
Am I right? If not what is your sugestion to do live streaming. I want to embed some news channel live streaming link in the application so from where I can find those links.
You have to go through HTTP Live streaming document provided by Apple.There are some sample live streaming URLs.The file extension will be .m3u8.If you want to configure your own webwserver , you have to configure FFMPEG server in your webserver.The links which will help you
1)Apple document
2)stackoverflow

If you're making a web app in html5 then the video tag is a good choice.
But, If you're developing a native app then MPMoviePlayerController would be a much better choice. There are many example of how to use it online.
iOS doesn't support RTMP or RSTP, so your stream would need to be a HTTP Live stream. From memory the codec choice is very limited too, eg if you supply H264+mp3 you won't get any sound despite iOS supporting mp3.
Also remember that streams from other people (such as the BBC) will normally be protected by international copyright law, so unless you have prior permission to use their stream in your app you may be breaking the law.
Apple has some nice resources on Http Live Streaming.
Is there any third party frameworks for streaming audio form network server/ web server?
I need to implement audio streaming functionality in my new project
The framework StreamingKit from Thong Nguyen works very well for streaming audio
https://github.com/tumtumtum/StreamingKit
It's not third party. You need to use Apple's HTTP Live Streaming framework if you want to be approved in the app store to stream over 3G.
Have been researching the best way to tap into a live stream already being broadcast by S4C here -
mms://media7.unique-media.com/s4c_uk_live
(will open in something like quicktime)
Need to know best practices to get this streamed to iPhone in development.
Any pointers?
You will need to take a look HTTP Live Streaming Overview document for the full outline of the specs needed to do live iPhone streaming. Basically, MMS isn't going to work and you will need to implement the adaptive HTTP protocols/segments required by the iPhone.
