I don't have good idea about where to start. Any way, most of us have use a DVD player, what we do is to put an disc in that and it plays video(or Audio, but my concern is video). All controls like play pause, forward, rewind can be handled at DVD player end. With remote or buttons on the player. These effect reflect on TV screen.
Now, what I need to do is create a same application for iPhone. In that iPhone will be the DVD player and system monitor connected to that will behave like TV screen, all controls on iPhone screen will be equally effective on playing monitor. But my point is video content should be stream, not screen, of playing iPhone.
Please tell me from where should I start?
You can do this with Airplay and an AppleTV as secondDisplay (DVD playingScreen) and specifying another external screen (video) than your internal one (control)

I came across this ans to avoid fullscreen video player in iPhone.Can we use this module to create video player custom controls.
I have using jwplayer and have own custom video controls (fast forward/backward, transcript, slow/fast, volume control, fullscreen).This controls gets hidden in iPhone and native iPhone video player is shown.
Is there any way to avoid this iphone fullscreen and still bring own custom controls.
Can this module be used for jwplayer? to bring own custom video control with jwplayer.
I have not seen that particular library in use with our player, so you're more than able to try it - but I cannot guarantee any success, nor can we provide support for its use.
With that being said, iOS 10 is slated to bring inline video playback to Safari for iPhone and the good news is our player is already set up in the way it needs to take advantage of this. Obviously, iOS 10 is in beta and not final yet so things are subject to change, but this is good news for those customers looking for inline video playback in Safari on iPhone.
Scenario: My app is running in the background. An iPhone/iPad user launches the iPod app (or Pandora or another program that plays audio) on their device and starts playing music. My app detects that that music is now playing, and records or in some way does things with the current playing audio (like stream it to a server), all while still running in the background.
Is this possible? Can anyone point me in the right direction in the SDK on how to do this?
You can't do this. And that is that.
In my iPhone app, I am using the UIImagePickerController with source type UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera. When the user takes a picture, the phone plays the familiar camera shutter sound. How can I replace this with my own custom sound? I know it's possible because I've seen other apps from the App Store do it (e.g. Red Laser).
I am quite certain it's not possible. AFAIK, Red Laser doesn't actually take a "normal" picture but uses UIGetScreenImage() (undocumented but nevertheless allowed for App Store apps) to make a screenshot of the live video feed. Since the OS does not play sound on this occasion, they are free to play their own sound.
Edit for clarification: As of OS 3.1, you are free to substitute the standard camera interface with your own controls. So you could place your own shutter button on the screen and play your own sound when the user taps it, but AFAIK there is now way to get rid of the OS's standard shutter sound.
AFAIK the standard camera shutter sound cannot be changed via SDK.
This answer supports that. You can replace your own sound by switching sound files, but not in an app.
Some answers such as this one suggest using AVCapture, but this method takes video screenshots, which reduces the image quality. I
t appears that you can't change the shutter sound because you could make it a silent sound, and capturing images covertly is against the App Store policy. See this answer.
TLDR:
The only way to change the shutter sound is to use a video screen grab.
