Is that possible to stream mms,ASX,RTSP stream on iPhone?

Question

I am developing one music streaming application.

I can stream mp3 using a method described here. Does anybody know approach to stream other formats(ASX, RTSP or mms) using Core Audio or other framework.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

mms, ASX, and RTSP are historically somewhat proprietary protocols (by microsoft and real, in particular), so you may have trouble finding an official apple implementation.

There's a LGPL implementation of the mms protocol here: https://launchpad.net/libmms Or you can get the documentation for the protocol from microsoft here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/E/95EF66AF-9026-4BB0-A41D-A4F81802D92C/%5BMS-MMSP%5D.pdf

ASX is just a metadata format in XML; you'd use it to get a mms or http URL to stream from. The official reference for it is on microsoft's site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb249663.aspx

RTSP has an LGPL implementation here: http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/ It's a standard protocol (RFC 2326 and RFC 3550) but is apparently often used with proprietary extensions such as Real's RDT transport, so again it might be easier to just use a library if you're able.
