Specifically, I want my app to access the subtitles (or other timed text stream) coming in on live TV, whether it be via cable or over the air. Is this even possible? If not, is it on the roadmap for a future release?
This is not supported. You could file a feature request at:

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 want something similar to this:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-download-ibolt-downloader/id481606548?mt=8
I want to detect there is any video in web page and want to download that stream into iphone device.
In console media players tells that it is setting the movie path to some URL. There must be a way to download stream and save in local device.
P.S: I know how to download a video file. I want it using online streaming or from sites which does not provide a download link.
P.S++: Video download from HTML + UIWebView is not helpful.
Thanks.
The post is old but it might be worth to clear this
Those apps are probably using undocumented API. Apple doesn't accept private API when apps are submitted to the app store, however they might not be looking for usage of undocumented notifications
You can find more information in here and here
Those apps show you the download button after you click video, and after the video starts. So probably they are listening for media playback notifications and get the url from MPMoviePlayer instance.
By the way, apple doesn't allow apps that download videos from youtube. There might be some apps on the app store that does that, but I recently got rejected because of this. It might not be worth the hassle, as most big video streaming websites don't want people downloading their videos and work hard to make sure that they don't.
So, I recently submitted my first iphone app to Apple.
I did not stream my videos and they are over 10 minutes long, so my app was denied because I did not use HTTP Live Streaming.
So, we stream live videos every week. Those files are stored somewhere, but I am a little unsure of where. I want the video files that I made a feed for to be converted into streamed videos. But I don't want to use Apple's HTTP Live software. I do not know how to code into streamed video.
Is there anyway to either figure out where my streamed files are storing or is there a software that will convert videos into streamed video? Will take any suggestions.
Thanks
The main problem is that you must use HTTP Live Streaming if you wan't your app to be approved, and also be aware of the Apple restrictions (you must set different bitrates, one of 64kbps or lower).
If you don't want to use Apple tools, you can use ffmpeg. Take a look at ioncannon.net http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/
With Apple tools is easier. You just need mediafilesegmenter/mediastreamsegmenter.
There is also professional services out there, but not free, that will take care of all the process.
If you don't know where are your files, maybe you can use a sniffer and check where is your computer "listening to".
The easiest solution is to simply require that your users be on WiFi in order to watch the videos. The 10 min. / 5MB restriction only applies to video that is sent over Cellular networks, not WiFi. See Apple's "Reachability" code for an example of how to test the user's network connection at run-time.
I have a video stream that I used in an iPhone application. I'm now working to port the application to Android so I want to use the same stream.
As Apple requiered, I created a HTTP Live Streaming (media segmenter, m3u8 file, etc.). You can find the stream here: http://envue.insa-lyon.fr/smartphone/aloun_stream/prog_index.m3u8 .
I want to use this same stream on Android. Did someone have the same a resembling experience?
Honeycomb/Android 3.0 has limited support for HLS. Anything before that does not have built in support, but there are supposed to be third party SDKs that will do it, but searching shows a lot of people that can't ge a hold of the third party dev.
Check the Android dev docs to find out what is not supported.
I've given up on the m3u8 stream. I just used mp4-s with android-streaming capabilities.
you have to use webscoket to continuously get TS files as Apple defines, and send to a player to decode the H.264+AAC within TS packet
Check android 4.0 - it claims to support HTTP Live Streaming 3.0 fully, including HTTPS. For older versions I've seen some people reommening it,but haven't tried myself
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. :)
