Streaming Wowza MP3 in objective C for iPhone

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

I’m new to iPhone development and i want to stream mp3 file located on my wowza media server.

The server is correctly set up because i can play the mp3 within safari using an url like http://myIP/wowza_app/mp3:song/playlist.m3u8

I can correctly play the file with the same address in objective c if i use the AVPlayer class…

NSString *mp3URLString = @"http://myIP:1935/wowza_app/mp3:test/playlist.m3u8";
NSURL *mp3URL = [NSURL URLWithString:mp3URLString];
AVPlayer *player = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithURL:mp3URL];
[player play];

But this class is very limited (for example : impossible to control volume)

So, how to do that in objective c ? I have found an example with CoreAudio, but it doesn’t work with Wowza.

Is there anywhere a sample work that work with wowza ?

Does it work in HTML5 video tag in IPhone?

<html>
<head> 
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>

<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/[app-name]/mp3:test/playlist.m3u8">
</video>

</body>
</html>

This will give you a volume control.

Make this an HTML page on your web server, and load it in IPhone. I tested the above, the mp3 works, there is a volume control and seek control.

I think I have that feature turned off, so I didn’t get a PM. If you want to write off forum, send email to support@wowza.com, attention to me. Include a link to this thread.

Done.

I edited the app name too.

I don’t have experience with objective c and iOS apps. My experience with IPhone is around HTML5 pages and some light javascript using video tag attibutes.

I send you a private message. This is very important.

OK. Please just edit your previous post and change my server wowza url to something anonymous like : “http://myIP:1935/wowza_app/mp3:test/playlist.m3u8”

Thanks (could you edit the name of the wowza application too - after ip/port) ? :slight_smile:

About your tip : i cannot use HTML5 tag because i need to build a music player into an iphone application. Is there a way to do that ?

I want to do the same thing related in this post :

But it seems that there is not solutions… Any idea ?
