Hi everyone~ English is not my native language. 🙂

I make a Server Module use onHTTPCupertinoStreamingSessionCreate method

(for ipod/iphone/ipad)

When I connect stream it has twice connection

#1 Mozilla/5.0

#2 AppleCoreMedia/1.0.0.8C148a

then, #1 is disconnect shorly later

What is AppleCoreMedia?

My conjecture is “Mozilla/5.0” is polling playlist, “AppleCoreMedia” is native quick time player…

Is it sure?

Plz give me some advices…

This happens when you use direct link in IPhone to the playlist.m3u8 url using an anchor (a) tag.

Use HTML5 video tag instead, and link to the html page:

```auto
<html>
<head> 
  <title>Cupertino Streaming</title>
</head>
<body>
<video controls src="http://[wowza-address]:1935/vod/sample.mp4/playlist.m3u8">
</video>
</body>
</html>

```
