Hello,

i need to use a streaming radio .pls inside the app.
iPhone Safari can open the radio with quicktime flawless.

is there a way to open this radio inside the app with Quicktime?

I only know that i can open Quicktime streaming HTTP video…

Thank you

quicktime does not exist on the iphone.

?

I use iPhoneUtils.PlayMovieURL that internally use MPMoviePlayerController.

Is not that a Quicktime player?? ( of course is not identical to the desktop player )

When i open .pls Streaming Radio on my iPhone i see Quicktime logo… so i suppose that there is Quicktime on Iphone.
The same when i open video.

So what do you mean when you say that Quicktime don’t exist on iPhone?

Thank you

With that I mean that it is not QuickTime as you know it from the desktop. It has some similarities and supports specific QT movie profiles, but it is nowhere near the desktop one in “general capabilities”

Thank you for the explanation.

yes,of course, is not the same of the Quicktime desktop.

in any case with the iPhone “QT player” i can open this .pls streming radio
on my iPhone with Safari .

I just ask if someone know a way to open this radio inside the app?
For now i need to exit from app to listen the radio.

Thanks

I think you potentially could do it through the AVAudioPlayer and something like initWithContentsOfURL, but not sure on that

Thank you again.

So, nothing simple without Native Objective-C and Xcode …

without XCode usage there isn’t a way at all. Unity only offers fixed sound file loading from the outside, no stream sources.
