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](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…
```auto
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?
```auto
Cupertino Streaming
```
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.

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.

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](http://myIP:1935/wowza_app/mp3:test/playlist.m3u8)”

Thanks (could you edit the name of the wowza application too - after ip/port) ? 🙂
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 :
> [@Working with Cupertino HTTP Streaming and iPhone AudioQueue](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/34486):
>
> I am writing an iPhone app, which is going to play an audio stream from Wowza Media Server 2. Since the wowza server description said that I should use HTTP streaming to play the audio stream on iPhone, I prepared an AAC format audio file and set the server up. I found that my audio stream can be played well by entering the stream URL on Mobile Safari. I also found that I can play the stream via ‘MPMoviePlayerController’ as well, but it has been figured out that we cannot use MPMoviePlayerContr…
But it seems that there is not solutions… Any idea ?
