Hello, I have an IP Camera that is able to do RTSP streaming. This stream would go to my server, where it will be forwarded in RTSP format to an iPhone device. I would like to know if Apple allows RTSP incoming streaming (both audio and video); are there any specific guidelines for this? NOTE : - i will use Xcode version 14.3.1 swift version 5.8 Thanks,

I have used ffmpeg to transform a video into multiple chunks, the ffmpeg command works fine and I can play the video. I have created an index.m3u8 that contains 4 qualities, each of those qualities contains the chunks of the video, I can play each chunk, but I can't play anything when using the index.m3u8. here is my index #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=5000000,RESOLUTION=1920x1080 http://cdn... #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=2800000,RESOLUTION=1280x720 http://cdn... #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1400000,RESOLUTION=842x480 http://cdn... #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=800000,RESOLUTION=640x360 http://cdn... here is my quality file #EXTM3U #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:8.341667 #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:24 #EXTINF:8.341667, http://cdn.... #EXTINF:8.341667, http://cdn.... #EXTINF:8.341667, http://cdn.... #EXTINF:6.873533, http://cdn.... #EXT-X-ENDLIST

Hey Guys, I am looking to add VP9 support to an application and am trying to figure out how to access these APIs on iOS. Is it possible to access the VP9 encoders / decoders without using HLS? Looking for some help on this. Thanks, Norris

When streaming HLS files in the iPhone/iPad browser only on iOS 16.5, the bit rate does not switch. The lowest quality bitrate is always selected regardless of the communication environment. This does not occur on iOS16.4 and iOS16.6(beta) in the same communication environment and on the same device, and the bitrate switches according to network conditions. Has anyone else experienced a similar event? Also, does anyone know how to remedy this issue?

Hi, is it possible to force/ensure an automatic license renewal in a Fairplay SPC response? I can find that feature in other DRM systems like Widevine (using specific parameters in the response) Searching in "FairPlay Streaming Server SDK 4.4.4" I can only find parameters related to lease/rental TLLs, but not an explicit renewal request. does this feature exists on FairPlay? Any information will be appreciated. Have a great day!

Hello,When streaming and playing HLS streams on Safari using <video> tag, is there way to be notified at application level (javascript) of the presence of SCTE-35 data ranges in the stream (playlist)?When using the <video> tag on Safari, it is the responsibility of the the native video element to download and parse the playlists, thus there is no way for web application to know about the presence of such tags/markers in the playlists.Does the native video element trigger some events (like cue events for example) to signal the presence of these SCTE-35 data ranges?I tried to listen for cue events but unsuccessfully.

I am simply trying to visualize m3u8 files from my Amazon S3 server while they are playing on my AVPlayer. The basic context of my AVPlayer is that I first create AVURLAsset and attach the cookies required to access it and then subsequently create the AVPlayerItem. I then setup the AVPlayer, play it, and then setup an observer so that I can handle some logic when the audio file is done playing. I just want to be able to get the power data of the streamed file in real time or close to real time. I looked into audioTapProcessor but it does not appear to work with streamed files. I then looked into AVAudioEngine but that also does not work well with streams. Is there any solution to this?

Hi, i have this problem in web app context running in safari 14.0 on Apple Iphone X device. It seems that when i capture the user's microphone via: var opts = { //audio: true, audio: true, video: true }; navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(opts) This causes all audio playback within the page to be played as mono e.g. i have a file that should only be heard through the left headphone and it is heard through both headphones. Setting audio to false above means that the audio files play normally. Seems like some sort of bug where capturing the microphone seems to affect the output audio context. Any advice on what i can do to be able to get microphone input and stereo output simultaneously?

I want to use playback in the case of Radio (FM/DAB) reception using HLS for a commercial product that our company is developing. So I have been checking the software license for HLS for this purpose, but I couldn't find the right person in charge or someone who knows exactly. Our company only knows channels for MFi, but he recommended looking for channels for HLS contracts in this developer forum. Of course, I saw a specific Apple developer's comment through the thread below, but I would like to confirm if this answer is still valid. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/109953 (I already emailed to "Licensing and Trademarks", but I didn't get response)

I need to download encrypted HLS stream in tvos and save it in local file path. But AVAssetDownloadURLSession is not available in tvOS. Is there any alternative?. Thanks

Has anyone else had issues live streaming HLS on XCode 14.3? I am using an IOS 16.2 simulator as it seems the bugs with streaming on the 16.4 simulators still haven't been resolved. I have been able to play on-demand videos fine, although when I try and play a live stream, I just get a black screen with a play button with a cross through it.

Hello, I am trying do a playback test with content stitched together in a HLS manifest using the #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY tag. Im testing on the AppleTV 4k with the VLC player and a hlsjs player with Safari on my MacOS (https://players.akamai.com/players/hlsjs) I get playback issues when my player hits the first discontinuity section in both players. And im not sure how to further debug the issue. The VLC player just exits, the hlsjs player stops playback. I don't get any errors in the javascript console. The hlsjs player does display stats beside the player. The only hint I get is segment length is 5s up until it stops, then it says No segment length found. I've created a stack overflow post with more details here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76285834/hls-discontinuity-manifest-playback-issues-hevc-fragmented-mp4s I was able to get the same test working with h264 encodes and mpeg-ts video files. Does anyone have working examples of a discontinuity manifest with HEVC encodes and fragmented mp4s?

I see it lightly documented that the first variant listed in the manifest is the first variant to play, then adaptive streaming takes over to pick the next variants. When we do this we find the 3rd variant is loaded first. How can I investigate the reason for this? I've run media analyzer and there were some suggestion but nothing that made the 3d variant different from the first 2. #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=14985704,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=6811200,CODECS="avc1.4d4033,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=3840x2160,FRAME-RATE=29.970 clip4_2160p30-6M.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=24835374,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=11211200,CODECS="avc1.4d4033,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=3840x2160,FRAME-RATE=29.970 clip4_2160p30-10M.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=37147462,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=16711200,CODECS="avc1.4d4033,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=3840x2160,FRAME-RATE=29.970 clip4_2160p30-15M.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=49459550,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=22211200,CODECS="avc1.640033,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=3840x2160,FRAME-RATE=29.970 clip4_2160p30-20M.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=74013326,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=33140800,CODECS="avc1.640033,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=3840x2160,FRAME-RATE=29.970 clip4_2160p30-30M.m3u8

I am trying to figure out why there is no audio on my iPhone or iPad, my code is working on other devices. I am on IPad iOS 15.3.1 and I test on my computer using Safari. Video is working, and both the video and audio work on Android, Chrome, etc. This is just an audio problem on iOS. From my WebRTC I have HTML5 Audio Track tracks as such: <audio muted="false" autoplay="1" id="xxxx"></audio> When debugging, I connect my IPad and have run this volume check: document.getElementById('xxx').volume And it returns the value of 1, so the volume is on its loudest (I think according to HTML5 audio tags range from 0, 0.1, 0.2, xxxx 1). document.getElementById('xxx').end The ended returns false. Next I try to run the play() function as such: $('#xxx')[0].play() .then((resp) => { console.log("Success"); console.log(resp) }) .catch(error => {console.log(error)}) And it executes the success response. But there is still no sound. What could be causing this issue on iOS and Safari only?enter code here

We have implemented an optimization feature for HLS VOD streaming in the form of an EVENT Manifest. General manifest hour The bottom line is that on the first request, we return the HLS EVENT Manifest within 30 seconds and launch certain processin mechanisms in the background, as soon as everything has ready, on the next requests we return an EVENT Manifest with an EXT-X-ENDLIST tag What does it look like 1st request: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE: EVENT 1.ts 2.ts 3.ts 2nd req (if background completed) #EXTM3U #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE: EVENT 1.ts 2.ts 3.ts .... .... .... 1000.ts #EXT-X-ENDLIST This approach worked in VLC player and hls.js players but this thing doesn't work in native Safari player It has very strange behavior: Live is shown first in the timeline (which is okay) then, as he has already downloaded the manifest with EXT-X-ENDLIST, it shows the real duration (hour) but literally after 2 seconds it cuts the timeline and leaves only 2 minutes in the timeline by DevTools-> Network, I see that it stops downloading after 8-9 segments And now I would like to know if anyone has encountered such a safari problem and if maybe you need to somehow reconfigure the browser player.

Hello, I am running some simple playback tests. I would like to playback content streamed via HLS manifest on my AppleTV device, ideally with playback metrics. I should be able to use something like the VLC app: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-appletv.html (open to suggestions) But as for metrics, im not 100%. Does anyone have experience on this topic? As for the specific metrics, Im just looking for something that I can use to objectively measure different tests. I was thinking anything related to buffer rates, error rates, and percentage of time playing back specific streams.

Hi Team, I am pre-caching first 5 seconds of vidoes to improve start up playback latency. I am using AVAssetDownloadTask(AVAssetDownloadTask | Apple Developer Documentation) for pre-caching first 5 seconds in movpkg container in local. Now during playback of pre-cache vidoe from local file, AVPlayer start downloading remaining video chunks hence completely download video in local which increase space in device. Is there any way to stop AVPlayer to cache/download chunks in local during playback ?

I am trying to playback live content generated using Apple tools setup with Safari Browser, and having difficulty playing back. Here is more information of my Server setup: %tsrecompressor -c -O 224.0.0.50:9121 -L 224.0.0.50:9123 -P 224.0.0.50:9125 %mediastreamsegmenter --part-target-duration-ms=200 -f /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.23.4/html/ -t 1 224.0.0.50:9121 -D %cd /usr/local/share/hlstools %go run ll-hls-origin-example.go -dir /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.23.4/html -http :443 I am able to playback the content using hls.js demo player and the above Server set-up. I do see a "Failed to load resource: Plug-in handled load" error and don't see any content being played. Any ideas as to how to work around the error? Makes me wonder does Safari support ext-x-part tag at all? Thanks!

I am testing a video stream (HLS) using the Video.js player. After updating my iPhone's iOS to version 16.4.1, the player's subtitles default to 'unknown', and I am using the 'textTracks' function where 'track.length' is equal to 1. However, in other versions (e.g. 15.X.X), 'track.length' is equal to 2 (English and unknown). I want the subtitles to default to English on my device (version 16.4.1). Thanks in advance for your help! Example link: https://codepen.io/wendyhsiao/pen/wvYqeJx
