I am using iOS libRTMP to connect to an RTMP server. Now my problem is, how can I send the audio and video to an RTMP server? I've seen that CMSampleBufferRef is used for processing and sent to the server. The data is being processed with some flash video like metadata.
I tried VideoCore but it fails with the server I am using(Evostream) but works with other servers. Medialibs works but I need an open source option.
How do we convert CMSampleBufferRef to a format that RTMP understands?

So I currently have a RTSP Stream that is ran with the MobileVLCKit library's. I am able to receive the video stream with no problem, what I need to do now is record that RTSP stream onto the iPhone its being streamed to. Essentially I need to save the incoming RTSP stream to the phone while also letting the user view it live.
I have been exploring on how to live stream from iPhone. I will have to publish a stream at URL to Wowza server that I came to know. Other thing is that I will require a library for iOS to encode and compress the camera output and will have to send that stream over RTMP protocol to the Wowza server. At the receiving and, there should be a player which can decode, decompress that stream comes from the Wowza to the device like iPhone (a user who wants to see live stream).
My question is, if encoding is done through particular iOS SDK, RTMP has a role as a Protocol, a player at receiving end has a role of decoding, then what is the role of Wowza ? What is its function that makes it very important in the live streaming process ?
I have been searching on the function of a Media Streaming server since 3 days, but I could not understand the exact function of Media Streaming server like a Wowza.
I am desperate to the answer..
Any explanation will be appriciated, thanks in Advance !!!
I actually did a year-long project involving media streaming on iOS and I used Wowza. The role of Wowza is to function as a media server that can receive the video that is broadcast from an iOS device over the RTMP protocol. With Wowza, you have options to send http parameters that instruct the server to begin or stop recording the live video that is being streamed. You also have the option of embedding video players in websites for live view.
I configure the wowza Stream server for vod and live streaming. Then I try to stream rtsp url in vlc In my machine, it’s work fine. But I try same vod rtsp url in my android mobile phone it doesn’t work. I try different machine vlc player to stream same url it also doesn’t work. Why it happen. How can I configure wowza server in android rtsp mobile streaming.
I have an issue to stream a video conference for many mobile device(Andriod, iPhone etc) and I have troubles with streaming.
RTMP stream uses a flash and didn't work with this devices.
What stream can I use? and how can I convert rtmp to this supported stream?
For mobile devices you would need to convert your video to HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). If it's truly a live stream, you could use something Zencoder live streaming to convert it. If the RTMP stream is just reading from an MP4, you could use Handbrake or Zencoder to transmux it to HLS.
I need to play an RTMP streaming in a website.
I want to run on iOS devices, but I know RTMP does not run on it.
So, my idea is to convert RTMP to some audio file (mp4, for example) and send it to the user and to play with HTML5. Do you have a better idea to do this work? I have PHP5 at server, but I have no idea about how to convert a continuous data (streaming) in a HTML5 compatible audio. For now, it's only an idea I have...
Thanks in advance.
There is currently no live format that works with html 5 . Mp4 can not be used as a live source as it is not a streaming format. The only built in support for Live audio/video on iOS is HLS.
