another way which I can think of is,, make a dedicated service in any programming language that will serve the file.
So, you will try to access a http based file insteam of rtsp or qtss based file, which will deliver byte by byte data,, which can give u kind of streaming effects. This is what I do for my streaming application. We have a dedicated Quicktime streaming server for lectures. If the user is on mobile device such as iPhone/blackberry/windows,,, I redirect them to my http service where I get the URL of the http resource and then using a file serve mechanism (build by our team) we serve the resource. The main problem with qtss is it is build over rtsp protocol,, which I stated in the starting is not supported on iPhone safari and many other mobile devices uptil now. The new version of iPhone os 3.0 shows they gonna have that capibility so wait uptil then or use the above described method,,, Youtube I think,, they do the same thing,, they would have developed a standard http resource reading method in iPhone, which they use to read data on the remote server,,, they have some methods such as NSDATA which has these capabilities,, Hope I was clear Arun On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:27 AM, shelly <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Mar 27, 6:20 pm, arun chhetri <[email protected]> wrote: > > iPhone safari does not support rtsp protocol for right now,,, you have to > > use http resource instead of streaming sever,,,, > > so good luck,, > > > > cheers > > Arun > > > > > > > > On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 5:05 AM, lukenukem <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I try to create a simple server streaming to perform video and audio > > > streaming on iPhone safarai browser. > > > > > I install Drarwin Streaming server on a Windows2003 server. > > > I test it in firefox (directly via myserver:80/sample.mp4) and via > > > internal plugin in a HTML page following the guide example and its > > > works fine. > > > > > But when I try to perform the same operation from my iPhone browser it > > > doesn't work! > > > > > Where is the error? > > > It's possible to do it? > > > Everyone has a document that describe the correct working > > > configuration? > > > > > Many thanks to all- Hide quoted text - > > > > - Show quoted text - > > > I tried every possible way to stream using quicktime streaming server > but its virtually impossible to stream from qtss to the iphone.
