OK, I tried before with air 2.6-2.7, a live video app VP6+MP3 to the AppStore and it got rejected, because of the http-live-streaming requirement.

So today, I installed FMS 4.5, and created stream h264+AAC, to the rtmp://myserverip/livepkgr  with stream: mystream?adbe-live-event=liveevent


I tried openning it on iphone safari with this url and it playes with default player: http://myserverip/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/mystream.m3u8


Then I tried with same url in my iphone app (Air 3.0 sdk) to open the stream and it doesnt work, I tried f4f and f4m extensions, dont work.


What is the URL I have to load from my app as3 to load this HLS stream into my Air3 iOS App?


I read somewhere now it is possible, or is it not possible yet to make app that plays HLS now?

And after 2 years, the situation is the same. There still seems to be some problems with NetStream with AAC on iOS. There are said, that Apple messes with Flash purposelessly. Apple want's users to use XCode instead of other frameworks.

Hi khundaga,

Thanks,

Oh well, it's interesting to get response after exactly one year since someone replied to this topic.

No, I dropped my effort to bring Air based video streaming app to iOS platform. Within last 1.5 year, market share of Android platform has skyrocketed and making too much effort to make something for a platform that has less than 25% of the market doesn't seem like worth it at all.

I would be interested to find out what other people have to say about the current situation with the iOS platform and Flash media server live video streaming solutions though. ?

OK, I just made it work (kind of) with StageWebView. In a way with the iphone default player it is working smoothly with h264 video and AAC audio.

- Is this the only way to bring HLS (http-live-streaming) live video to the  Air3 sdk based iOS Apps? I looked through the HLS and HDS documents, it doesnt say anything about how to load the stream into AS3 code with rtmp://ip/live/stream kind of URL.

- Is there any live tv apps approved to Apple AppStore with this StageWebView implementation? I am worried that that it will rejected, because it is basically just loading a html page.

Appreciate the help in advance.

Is your app approved with StageWebView ?

I try to make HLS work too. I'm note sure but I ask myself if StageVideo must be used.
