Live Streaming on iPhone / Android: RTMP - HTTP

We plan to develop a mobile application that will allow users to watch live broadcasts, stream video from iPhone / Android.

We have red5 configured on the server for streaming RTMP on our website. But I'm not sure if we can use RTMP streams on iOS / Android. I read the Apple documentation that says we need to use HTTP Live Streaming.

This is a bit confusing how to implement real-time streaming in the case of RTMP and HTTP.

Scenario one: How to view RTMP streaming video [Initiated from swf file] on iPhone / Android devices. How to convert RTMP to HTTP. I heard about Xuggler, but not sure what it recommended.

Scenario two: How to stream streaming HTTP streaming video from iPhone / Android? Is there an API available? Also, how to view streaming video streaming (initiated from iPhone / Android) on a flash swf file website. Can swf file player play HTTP streams? I have not tested this yet.

I wonder how an iOs application, such as ustream, implemented streaming, but we don’t want to use a third-party streaming service. We are looking for our own solution.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can view the live stream initiated from the Android phone in a browser using the flash plugin. Even I am working on a similar project, and I managed to transfer the video from the device to the browser. You can check this open source project for reference -

Hope this helps!

Try a look at

Flvstreamer

This is a replacement for the C library for one part of your question. Check if this C library is compatible with LLVM and see if this works for you.
