I am trying to find FFF9 hex representation in and NSData object that I get with NSURLConnection when I type the url address to my web browser and download the file to my mac then I open it a text editor I get following values which seems true

Which is obviously not the same.
When I run the following code on the file I downloaded via webbrowser it works
NSDate *start = [NSDate date];
// The magic start data object is only created once safely and
// then reused each time
static NSData* magicStartData = nil;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
static const uint8_t magic[] = { 0xff, 0xf9 };
magicStartData = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:(void*)magic length:2 freeWhenDone:NO];
});
// assume data is the NSData with embedded data
NSLog(@"data %@",audioData);
NSData* subdata;
NSRange rangeCost = [audioData rangeOfData:magicStartData options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [audioData length])];
if (rangeCost.location != NSNotFound) {
// This assumes the subdata doesn't have a specific range and is just everything
// after the magic, otherwise adjust
subdata = [audioData subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(rangeCost.location, [audioData length] - rangeCost.location)];
NSLog(@"Sub data %@",subdata);
NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate:start];
NSLog(@"Execution Time: %f", executionTime);
}
Obviously same code cannot find FFF9 in NSData I get via NSURLConnection
My connection code;
(void)downloadDataWithUrl:(NSURL *)url andFileName:(NSString *)fileName
{
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
if ( !error )
{
//NSLog(@"data %@",data);
[self audioFileReaderWithData:data andFileName:fileName];
} else{
NSLog(@"downloadDataWithUrl failed");
}
}];
}
Any idea whats going on and how can I solve this problem?
EDIT:::::::::
I feel like I need to explain exact story here.
I download following url first
http://playlists.ihrhls.com/c5/1469/playlist.m3u8
Parsing that link gives a .m3u file link which something like this
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=49000,CODECS="mp4a.40.5"
http://playlists.ihrhls.com/c5/1469/playlist.m3u8?listeningSessionID=54868da4e3b93b4a_5943659_OcMl11nw_0000006Uz93&downloadSessionID=0
Downloading this
http://playlists.ihrhls.com/c5/1469/playlist.m3u8?listeningSessionID=54868da4e3b93b4a_5943659_OcMl11nw_0000006Uz93&downloadSessionID=0
here it gives 3 chunks of .aac files.
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10,title="Spotblockend",artist="Spotblockend",url="song_spot=\"O\" MediaBaseId=\"0\" itunesTrackId=\"0\" amgTrackId=\"-1\" amgArtistId=\"0\" TAID=\"0\" TPID=\"0\" cartcutId=\"1\" amgArtworkURL=\"\" length=\"00:00:00\" unsID=\"-1\""

http://chunks.ihrhls.com/1469/iE906eJEm2i-241376-10031.aac
and I need those .aac files in NSData format.
So as I explained in my question when I type http://chunks.ihrhls.com/1469/iE906eJEm2i-241376-10031.aac link in my web browser it sends me the actual .aac file but when I use same link with NSURL connection NSDATA response is an html page with The page is not found response.
Why is that happening!?
Note: that m3u file and .aac files expires every other two hours so by the time you read this those links wont be available, so you need to check this link again http://playlists.ihrhls.com/c5/1469/playlist.m3u8
Update from question additional information (again):
Test code:
NSURL *url;
NSMutableURLRequest *request;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;
NSData *data;
NSString *string;
NSRange range;
// First get the current URL
url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://playlists.ihrhls.com/c5/1469/playlist.m3u8"];
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// Get the audio URL
range = [string rangeOfString:@"http"];
string = [string substringFromIndex:range.location];
string = [string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
url = [NSURL URLWithString:string];
NSLog(@"url:\n%@", url);
// Get the Audio info
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"string:\n%@", string);
// Get the first chunk URL
range = [string rangeOfString:@"http"];
string = [string substringFromIndex:range.location];
range = [string rangeOfString:@"#"];
string = [string substringToIndex:range.location];
string = [string stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
url = [NSURL URLWithString:string];
NSLog(@"url: %@", url);
// Get the first audio chunk
request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
if ( !error ) {
NSLog(@"data: %@", [data subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, 20)]);
NSLog(@"data+296: %@", [data subdataWithRange:NSMakeRange(296, 20)]);
// [self audioFileReaderWithData:data andFileName:fileName];
}
else {
NSLog(@"downloadDataWithUrl failed");
}
}];
Output:

That is the first 20 bytes of the aac data desired and 296 bytes in is the value "FFF9" you are looking for.
Answer to initial question: What you have after converting the hex in the question is:

Note in particular the title: "The page is not found".
The URL is probably incorrect.
