Hi All,

I’ve followed the instructions here to generate an App Store compliant audio-only stream for my live video feeds: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-apple-app-store-compliant-streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-apple-app-store-compliant-streams)

I have also used the “attach picture” modules to inject a poster image as an ID3 tag for the audio-only rendition, as described here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-poster-frames-to-apple-http-streams-id3-metadata-for-app-store-audio-renditions](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-poster-frames-to-apple-http-streams-id3-metadata-for-app-store-audio-renditions)

I confirmed that:

- audio stream is created

- image is loaded properly from disk

- ID3 tag is present in the stream (readable on iOS)

As you mentioned, this does not sound like a Wowza issue.

It sounds like you need to update the player view when the stream switches. Check out the [MPMoviePlayerController API](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPMoviePlayerController_Class/)

You can send a notification to the player

> When the load state for network-based movies changes

and update the view accordingly.

I hope this helps.
