Is iPhone supports RTMP (Real Time Media Player) Video format to play into iphone/ipod or ipad?
On website, it is working with flash player, like JWPlayer, but i doubt whether its supported with iPhone as we will be generating APIs parsing XML.
Any ideas, would be appreciated.
Thanks !
No...
There is no RTMP streaming to IOS devices. Apple is keen on HTTP Live Streaming, which is closely related to MPEG-TS.

I have a app where I used to show video streaming and the app player it. Until IOS 5 everything was working like a charm.
With the new update to IOS 6, the player to reproduce the video doesn't work when the video streaming is this format: h.264. In other format of video, still working.
Any idea,
Thanks in advance.
You need to explain how you are trying to do video streaming, live streaming (HLS), rtsp or some other.
live streaming should not have any issues under ios 6 and as far as I know non of the 3rd party rtsp libs I am aware of have any issues with ios 6. And of course non streaming h264 (progressive download) works as well as it ever did
I am trying to implement streaming video on iPhone with RTSP protocol.
On Mac, the QuickTime support RTSP and I tested streaming video with this.
This means iPhone can support RTSP, I think.
But I could not implement on iPhone with MPMoviePlayerController.
Who knows about this. Regard!
A quick search on google revealed dropcam https://github.com/dropcam/dropcam_for_iphone for iphone where an RTSP client was implemented. I would advise taking a closer look at that project.
Just wondering what format is accepted as "the best" to have your video content on. We currently have our videos in FLV format being played by a JW Player. Are FLV's iPhone compatible or should we be encoding in another format? Thanks!
FLV video is not supported on the iPhone. H.264 should be you choice if you plan on targeting the iPhone.
If you're looking into streaming the video have a look at Apple HTTP streaming which is supported by the iPhone.
HTTP Streaming Architecture - Might need Apple ID to view it.
According to the iPhone SDK, You can use -
Media Player framework to display
full-screen video from files in either
H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
format or MPEG-4 Part 2 video (Simple
Profile) format.
So I gather that the FLV video is not supported on the iPhone and you should encode the videos in one of these two formats. Also note that only full-screen video playback is supported on the device, with a fade-in transition to the player when video is started.
I want to play H.264 video streamed from network. To play video iphone provides the media player API. Does anyone one aware of any documented or undocumented API for decoding and playing single video frame?
Is it Live video or on demand ?
If live the only way is to use iPhone OS 3 with MediaPlayer.
take a look at the discussions group from apple there is some interesting thread.
is it possible to stream video to iphone/ipod touch over http without a proper streaming server with .net? may be some sort of progressive download?
The best way that I suggest is to use HTML 5. The iDevices (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) doesn't support Silverlight or Flash.
I think the mobile devices you are trying to watch the videos from have a 'video size limit' because when i test my website i test everything over wifi for real world scenarios and when i reach a certain video size i am not able to watch the video on that mobile device. videos under 1gb work great, but when i try watching a 2.5gb HD video it will not open the video on my ipod/ipad/iphone/android devices....
