I need to implement iphone video streaming to server. I've googled a lot but I found only receiving video streams from server. It is made using UIWebView or MPMoviewPlayer.
But how can I stream my captured media to server in realtime?
How can it be done?
check out this Apple sample code. this is using a AVFoundation.

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 am streaming video(H264) across network on iOS.I am getting the data in buffers.Is there any way to play this streamed video on iOS? I cannot use AVPlayer or MPMoviePlayerController as these need the URL.
Why not just create a local "web server" and hand AVPlayer the URL to that? It's probably under 100 lines of code and pretty trivial to do with Apple's built-in classes. You'd then just hand out your buffers via the web server.
I have a query regarding showing a video (which is stored on server) on iPhone.
I want show a video in an iPhone Application.
This is not live streaming.
So how the video can be shown?
I have read the Apple's documentation for HTTP streaming of video.
Do I need to call a Web Service?
Is there any tutorial for this?
I have seen the Apple Sample code for MPMoviePlayer.
While the locally stored video works fine, there is problem while showing the video stored on server.
Thanks in advance..
See the movie player sample code from the apple docs.
I'm trying to stream video with static IP : http://38.117.88.148/GemTVLink
via iPhone. Can you show me some information as to how I could implement this? I see an apple video stream app but it seems it can show only .mp4 movies? Am I right?
I want my app to load the HTTP address and play the movie, that's it.
This link works on media player.
The iPhone does not support all streaming video formats.
You should start by reading HTTP Live Streaming Overview
iOS native video player (AVPlayer, MPMoviePlayerViewController ...) can stream from http server in m3u8 format.
I looked at the link, that you mentioned(GemTVLink), it's an mms stream, iOS can not stream from microsoft streaming servers (mms), if you want to do that, you should use ffmpeg library, as this library can connect any streaming server (supporting rtsp, mms, tcp, udp ,rtmp ...) and then draw pictures to the screen.. (for drawing you can use opengles or uiimage also works)
First of all, use avformat_open_input to connect to your ip address then use avcodec_find_decoder & avcodec_open2 to find codecs and to open them (you should call them for both audio & video)
Then, in a while loop read packets from server by using av_read_frame method When you get frame, if it is audio then sent it to AudioUnit or AudioQueue, if it is video, then convert it from yuv to rgb format by using sws_scale method and draw the picture to the screen.
That's all.
look at this wrapper also (http://www.videostreamsdk.com), it's written on ffmpeg library and supports iOS
How can I stream video data from the network and play it on an iPhone?
First, are you developing a Web app optimized for iPhone or a native application ?
In the first case, your only option is to transcode your video files to Quicktime H.264 (m4v or mp4 extension). You can use Quicktime Pro (use the export menu) or VLC (as a free alternative). Then simply add a hyperlink to the video file on your HTTP server. Make sure it presents the right content-type and stuff (read Safari Web Content Guide for iPhone OS: Configuring Your Server). That'll work for web and native apps (in a native app you would use the MPMoviePlayerController view). So can "stream" (technically called progressive download of a Quicktime movie file).
If you're talking about streaming live content (i.e. content that you produce live or transcode a live feed) there is currently no official way of doing it (as of iPhone OS 2.2). iPhone OS does not support RTSP/RTP streaming. A number of native iPhone applications (such as UStream.tv and Orb Live) have created their custom live streaming solution (most of them transfer a delayed streams with many seconds of latency over HTTP then somehow decode it on the phone using FFmpeg or other libraries).
Are you trying to stream video in your app or just streaming on your iPhone? For streaming video through an app, use the MPMoviePlayerController and pass the URL of your video to it. The MPMoviePlayerController will itself stream the video and play it for you.
If you're looking for a server based solution (with a very affordable Amazon EC2 option), be sure to check out Wowza at http://www.wowzamedia.com/advanced.php
It streams directly to iPhone/iPod Touch without a custom app.

edit: Just noticed how old this question was. :)
