The VideoLAN Forums

Hi i saw my friend has a vlc player on his iphone and it was also able to play rtsp links with it.....
can you tell me how did u manage to do that? if im not mistaken iphone dont have a built-in rtsp stack does this mean u implemented rtsp protocol in objectve C ?

VLC has its own RTSP reader.

vlc4iphone is not a VideoLAN project (not same people, etc), and requires a JailBroken iPhone. Information on the project, along with the source code is available here: http://www.zodttd.com/wiki/index.php/Vlc4iphone . We do not sanction jail breaking your iphone. There is no official VLC player for the iPhone and if one is made available in the future it an announcement will be made, though no work is being done in this direction as far as I am aware.

do you mean he ported all of vlcs c/c++ code to objective c???
all i see in his svn project are header files for vlc and no implementation...

I haven't really looked at the code, so I can't comment on the specifics.

From what I know the only code that needs to be in objective-C is anything that interacts with with system API. There are plenty of applications out there that mix Objective-C and C++.
