I am trying to develop an iPhone app which will be able to show live stream video on iPhone.The link is in format 'http://192.168.111.18:8002/testlink'.
I went through all the apple documentation and have downloaded mediastreamsegmenter and also it has been installed properly as I can see its details using 'man mediastreamsegmenter' command.I couldn't understand it after that.Please guide me regarding this.
You should use a link with suffix ".m3u8", which contains the TS segments of the live video stream. When you click on the "m3u8" link, then the video player will be launched to request for those TS segments, otherwise, the browser won't know it is a live video link.

I want to download video from youtube. Then the downloaded video should saved and user can also play it in offline mode and user can also trim or edit that downloaded video.
I have searched a lot on Google and i find some answers but they didn't satisfy my question.
This question tell downloading video from youtube may reject your application is this true?
The screen shot from apple. YouTube Terms & Condition are also not allowing to download videos. Read section 5-B.
I have also try to load some examples for video downloading from youtube but they all failed for loading video MyTube , YouTube , SCBTube , PSYouTubeExtractor
Some questions related to youtube download. and for video trimming or cutting i am following this code .
is this downloading is possible or not ?
Downloading is, in some cases, possible, but it's against the YouTube T&Cs...so yeah, don't do it. Furthermore, even if you did implement this not all videos on YouTube are actually available in the appropriate H.264 format (e.g, videos which require advertising or content protection are often not available).
hi everybody i try to develop a web application that can control Smart tv like this guide http://samsungdforum.com/Guide/tut00024/index.html i work fine but now i would like to upload video from computer then it can display on the smart tv like image shown on the tutorial have any one any idea or exemple or suggestion about modification of code that can i do that can help me i would like to modify code of convergence tutorial than can sens message or send video client application to smart tv application
Sending files is covered by the tutorial. You can find API reference for this here.
Sending video file is not exactly a wise thing, because there is a 3MB limit for a file that can be sent using Convergence API. This API is designed for sending messages between TV and external client rather than files. If you want to launch video playback, send video URL from web app to the TV and let the TV download the video by itself.
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.
Why is it that if I pick a video from the library in my application I'm given this horribly pixelated/compressed video but if I take the video with the camera in my application I'm given a nice video file, this is on the iphone 4.
Sample of video taken w/in the app:

Sample of video picked from the library:

Both are 720p. Setting videoQuality to 'UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeHigh' doesn't help, which makes sense really since that appears to be just for setting the recording resolution when using the camera.

i had the same assumption as Shizam till i saw an FTP app upload a video just fine on an iPhone 4. its not the quality of the imported video thats the problem. if you download the app's sandbox and look at the imported video you will see its fine.
go to Window/Organizer and select your device. there will be a list of Applications in the bottom right. select the app in question and click the expansion triangle. you will see "Application Data" click on the little black downward arrow and tell it when to save the data. then go look at the video in the tmp folder. you will see its fine.
the problem comes when you try to send it out via HTTP. for what ever reason Apple decided to add an extra crappy video compression to videos sent over HTTP. if you FTP the file to the server the video quality is actually very good similar to what you get when you email the video to yourself. Apple gives you a working example of how to FTP to and from a server.
See my post here. You can improve the quality by changing some settings.
Avoid Video Compression when Selecting Movie with UIImagePickerController?
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.
