I'm implement http live streaming video from my webserver to iPhone. Will I get rejected for bandwidth?

Apache webserver setup

added:

AddType application/x-mpegURL .m3u8
AddType video/MP2T .ts

to "httpd.conf" file.

Movie file preparation

• I have 3 movie files (9mb - 25mb each).
• U开发者_开发知识库sed QuickTime to convert movies into iPhone format.
• Used mediafilesegmenter to convert .m4v into 10-second segments of .ts files, with an accompanying .m3u8 file.
• Placed these in a folder on webserver.

iPhone App implementation

• Created UIWebView whose URL points to http://71.190.235.29/~yujean/stream.html
• Simulator accesses the site and streams the movie-files just fine.

Question

• Will I still get rejected by apple for bandwidth issues over the 3G and/or Edge network?
• Do I need to somehow check which network the end-user is on first? And then provide a different movie accordingly? If so, how do I do that ...?

Thank you in advance,

Eugene

We were rejected when we first submitted our mp3 streamer to the app store for excessive bandwidth use. Then we hobbled the app to limit its downloads to 4.5 meg in 5 min, which was accepted by Apple.

You can review that thread for more info on the issue.

To answer your second bullet-point first, the SDK does that all for you. Determining what quality to stream is not the concern of the developer.

To answer your first bullet-point, I haven't submitted my Live Streaming app so I don't know for sure, but I believe you will be rejected if you don't have a 64k stream. To be sure, check out Requirements for Apps, which is as definitive a list of requirements that you could probably get.
