An Objective-C Video Streaming Framework

Apple's video streaming solution is very limited - it supports only http streaming and h264 video codec, while being closed-source, rendering the task of streaming video much more difficult than it should be. This framework extends the native solution with the following:

• Supports streaming protocols not supported natively
• Supports additional codecs not covered by Apple's solution
• Can be customized, configured and fine-tuned (such as buffering duration, audio or video raw data)

• Detailed documentation with integration instructions.

• Fully automated FFmpeg build scripts that will build universal static libraries for the armv7, armv7s and i386 architectures.

Requirements


iOS 7.x SDK or above is needed to compile VideoStream SDK however, if you need under 7.x, VideoStream SDK can be built with small modifications.
The VideoStream SDK requires the following Apple frameworks:

• MediaPlayer (needed by MPVolumeView)
• AudioToolbox (needed by AudioUnit)

And the following frameworks for connecting to stream, decoding Audio and Video packets and similar functionality:
• libz
