Handling m3u8/mpeg-ts files in Flash

I am trying to implement HTTP Live Streaming. I have Apache serving the m3u8 playlists and *.ts video segments successfully (tested on iPhone and in VLC). However, I cannot figure out how to handle these file types in AsctionScript ... Does Flash CS5.5 support mpeg-ts files? They contain h264 aac encoded files, so I don't see why it would not; my player can currently play mp4/flv extensions.

Thanks!

One can definitely do that. It involves a lot of byte level manipulations though which very few high level developers would want to deal with. You will have to be very well versed in video formats, encoding and video containers as well.

Look into OSMF code how they handle http streaming fragments.

The truth is, though, that you most probably will not any real help in this forum because this is a very narrow niche specialized skill set that few posses and even care to posses.

Thanks a ton for your response.  I've been looking into OSMF as a possible solution and this will most likely be the path I take.  Thanks again!
