iPhone video streaming a no go currently.
After doing many tests with my buddy who has an iPhone I was unable to get any sort of streaming working via the Safari browser.
I have encoded and tested the following:
mpeg4 + aac (hinted non hinted)
- doesn’t work via DSS or direct html link Safari doesn’t understand RTSP and http:// linked videos it wants to load into memory.
h264 + aac (hinted non hinted)
- doesn’t work via DSS or direct html link Safari doesn’t understand RTSP and http:// linked videos it wants to load into memory.
Asking my buddy to visit m.youtube.com via safari and test a video from the page also doesn’t work for him either.
Error: safari can’t open the page because the address is invalid
So, unless you can develop your own custom application like the youtube one right now looks like we are out of luck.
User Agent String for iPhone is:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3
If anyone comes up with a solution I would love to hear it.
