HTTP LIVE Streaming, the Holy Grail of Internet Media Delivery, is working already and running in our Lab, uploading multi-bandwidth data-files with clock videos which can be seen on our iPhones and iPads via the HTTP LIVE Streaming Example. We expect this system to be completely implemented in the next month, April 2011.
For the techno-nuts who want to try this at home and want to get this whole procedure chain working themselves, here is the available HTTP LIVE Streaming Howto. Be warned, it is quite a time consuming, extremely frustrating and even headache-inducing excercise until all pieces talk nicely together.
But what a rewarding Moment when you see the final m3u8 video on the iPad or iPhone. ( m3u8? Who came up with that file extension and at what late hour?)
