How to achieve Live Streaming of videos in iOS (iPhone/iPad) using Kaltura?

Question

i m able to play Live Streaming Video in iOS using following code :

NSURL *mediaURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8"];

MPMoviePlayerController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:mediaURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                           object:nil];

mp.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[mp setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
[mp setMovieSourceType:MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming];
//[mp setFullscreen:YES];

[self.view addSubview:[mp view]];

[mp prepareToPlay];
[mp play];

what i m passing is .m3u8 file format url to the MPMoviePlayerController, and i m able to play Live Streaming. but how can i achieve it using Kaltura's Live Streaming ?

according to http://corp.kaltura.com/company/news/press-release/kaltura-%E2%80%98cracks-code%E2%80%99-reliable-hls-video-streaming-android-devices there is Android SDK for live streaming of videos using Kaltura, is there any iOS Kaltura SDK for Live Streaming ? or Do i have to use iOS built in MPMoviePlayerController for Live Streaming , if yes then what is the way ?

Please Help.
