hls-vod and main.asc

When playing back video using a RTMP-stream you can do various server side stuff using the main.asc file.

How can I do the same when using the hls-vod (or hls-live for that matter) playback on iOS devices?

Or said in another way, how can I have playback initiated on an iOS device run server side code?

It is bascially Apache that recieve and serve the request to play back the content in case of HLS/HDS. FMS bundled apache comes with the custom apache modules those know how to serve the HTTP content. FMS server service in that case is unware of the subsribed clients for the HLS and HDS.

Though it is sad that you can't use your existing fms' server side infrastucture with the Apache as both are different techlology ( I mean FMS and Apache), but I am sure you can achieve a lot of similar things in Apache.

In Apache you can write your custom modules that can intercept the request and their you can do all the cool stuff. Other than this, apache configurations are very wide enough to provide you all sort of adminstative/security facilities..
