Question

Hello all,

I am trying to play a streaming audio from a link where i get .asf file. But my program is unable to play it. I found the below link, where they are talking about the samething.. http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/31117-asf-streaming-iphone.html Seems like, some apps are able to play it. I got confused now.

Could someone guide me whether it is possible to play *.asf file or not on iPhone, if yes, how can i achieve it?

Hello,

To stream to the iphone, you will need to implement the standards that Apple has set forth to do HTTP adaptive streaming. They have create a create spec that works well with the changing network conditions that surround the iPhone. The key is the segment files that split up your stream into multiple qualities to give that adaptive experience. Hope this helps!
