How can I use Livestream player in iOS/Android app?

You can watch video streams on Livestream by using their player.

Can it be embeded in iOS/Android application to track only one channel?

Solution

  • Yes, you can do this via HTML for mobile with LiveStream's Mobile API.

    For example, in iOS you can do that like this via html:

    <html>
<body>
<h1>iPhone Example:</h1>
<video width="300" height="225" 
   src="http://xmashablex.is.channel.livestream.com/onDemand/ls/mashable/pla_2bc0bbfa-cc39-4f80-b9ef-376b97da94a4/playlist.m3u8" 
   poster="http://www.livestream.com/filestore/user-files/chmashable/2010/06/08/d333a646-94aa-4035-a66e-1185bd885622_1.jpg" 
   controls="" 
   autoplay="true" 
   tabindex="0">
</video>
</body>
</html>

    And android/blackberry:

    <html>
<body>
<h1>Android Example:</h1>
<a href="rtsp://xmashablex.is.channel.livestream.com:1935/onDemand/ls/mashable/pla_2bc0bbfa-cc39-4f80-b9ef-376b97da94a4" id="thumbnail">
