Matthew Kaufman, one of the engineers who brought us RTMFP but who is no longer with Adobe, has written and published an AS3 library which adds support for Apple HTTP Streaming (draft-pantos-http-live-streaming) to OSMF. The classes constitute a plugin for OSMF's HTTPNetStream that supports Apple's m3u8 index files and MP2 transport stream media file.
Matthew outlined his efforts on the FlashMedia List:
"I've put the initial commit of this code up at http://apple-http-osmf.googlecode.com with an open-source license (MPL).
No guarantees that it is complete or optimized, but it does appear to play most of the things I've been able to throw at it. Supports H.264 video and AAC audio... adding MP3 audio support is on the list, just need a sample stream to test with and a couple hours to do it."
Thanks Matthew!

...Are there any builded swf ready to download or some web page to see it in action? (I don't know how to build from AS3 source!!!)

So you can definitely play these back on iPhone, iPad, etc.

I come to find out that AIR 2.7 and under don't support h264/AAC decoding, only VP6 and a few audio formats like MP3, speex, etc.
I tried AIR 3.0, and I still can't do it. Can you give details of what worked? Using AIR 3? h264? Which version of iOS?

There is not much documentation for streaming video for AIR for iOS so any help is appreciated.
Thanks
