Hi I am setting up HTTP live streaming for iOS. It is a RTSP stream that I will get on UDP and pass it on to the MediaStreamSegmenter. My questions are:
-Do I need a Mac based server so that mediastreamsegmenter tool can actually do it job? If yes开发者_Python百科 then do I have any alternatives?
-Can pass a remote machine address to mediastreamsegmenter to store the segmented files and Index file?
I cant really afford a server and a Mac server for that matter....
Replies appreciated.
You don't need a Mac server. In fact, if you use Amazon S3, you can combine that with cloudfront to do RTMP streaming of your files from S3 to the user. check it out: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/#highlights
You can simply pass the stream address to the media stream segmenter, and you're good to go.
I found a cheap and easy way of doing it using VLC player. I had to compile VLC for this but you can look for latest nightly builds to get the LIVEHTTP plugin.
