Has anyone found a way to easily embed videos using ustream in an iphone or ipad app? I sent emails in support of ustream but did not reply. I really don't want to run ffmpeg or anything else.
The easiest way is to simply open the embed URL (e.g. http://www.ustream.tv/embed/10638475 ) using UIWebView. This will use HTTP Live Streaming on iOS.
Alternatively, you can use the URL-address, for example http://iphone-streaming.ustream.tv/uhls/10638475/streams/live/iphone/playlist.m3u8 , to initiate AVPlayerItemand use AVPlayer, and AVPlayerLayerto play a stream in an application's user interface ( very useful if you do not want it to be fullscreen).
AVPlayerItem
AVPlayer
AVPlayerLayer
Try:
<iframe id="UstreamIframe" src="http://www.ustream.tv/embed/10638475"></iframe>
