iPhone HTTP live streaming

Question

Have been researching the best way to tap into a live stream already being broadcast by S4C here -

mms://media7.unique-media.com/s4c_uk_live (will open in something like quicktime)

Need to know best practices to get this streamed to iPhone in development.

Any pointers?

You will need to take a look HTTP Live Streaming Overview document for the full outline of the specs needed to do live iPhone streaming. Basically, MMS isn't going to work and you will need to implement the adaptive http protocals/segments required by the iphone. Hope this helps!
