iPhone MP4 Video Playlist

I have a library of footage encoded as H.264/AAC inside MP4 containers. Right now I can successfully stream the footage to the iPhone using Apache and mod_h264. What I'd like to be able to do is tell the iPhone to play three clips back to back. The natural solution seems to be to create a .m3u8 playlist and point the player at that, however when I do I get audio and no video. I'm not sure if this is because the iPhone only supports playlist video thats encoded as an Mpeg2 Transport Stream (.ts) or if I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone had any experience streaming MP4 files to the iPhone in a playlist? Source: Tips4all

Like button in iOS application

Does anybody know how to place Facebook "like" button into iOS application? I've tried the method described in this blog post . But I do not really like this method, because its ugly Login dialog. And, what is more important, it makes user login twice. For example, user wants post a message to his wall if he isn't logged in I call standard FBLoginDialog, after that user posted a message he may want push "like" button and he have to login again - it is really bad user experience. How to be? How can I give user "like" feature in my iOS app? Source: Tips4all

Compile PHP with GD for iPhone OS 4.1

The Goal: have a working version of PHP with the GD library working on an iPod Touch 4th Gen. The Status: PHP is working on the iPod (lighttpd + PHP 5.2.8 + sqlite3) without GD. When trying to compile PHP on the iPod I get this error: http://pastebin.com/kUmgq70G The Proposed Solution: Can anyone point me in the direction of how to compile PHP with GD and then package it up nicely as a .deb file for everyone else to use? The best situation I believe is to compile the latest version of PHP with the GD library included and enabled. Second best would be to settle for compiling GD as a module and then installing that into the currently working PHP that is available from Cydia. However to compile GD you would have to do this with the SAME source that was used to create the php_5.2.8-3_iphoneos-arm.deb available from Cydia - I think it would be easier and safer for everyone in the future to just compile a fresh PHP with GD already enabled and then pack it up as a .deb Here...

What are some great iPhone questions for exercise?

In a small team where everyone is coding away on a project for a little while I want to encourage some different thinking to keep people increasing their iOS knowledge as well as to get a bit more variety in their daily activities. I'm not looking for interview questions involving manhole covers, nor very specific questions about whether drawRect: is part of UIView or UIViewController. I'm looking for questions more along the lines of UIImagePickerController, UIImage, Memory and More! - which has a lot of questions and a lot of great information. I voted it up. I'm thinking of sending out one of these topics about every week and then having a discussion about it towards the end of the week with some examples. Maybe assign a short presentation on a rotating basis so someone gets the job of delivering a 10-minute presentation about the topic, prizes awarded etc. - then when some task comes up involving that topic we may not have an expert but we at least have someone who...

UIWebView - When (or how) does CFData get released?

after multiple days of banging my head against the wall and having sleepless nights I'm hoping to find some help here. I've gone through various posts here, but none of the answers seem to provide a resolution for me. In short, my problem is that my App crashes after heavy usage (>10min) of the UIWebView (e.g. opening larger news paper sites in series - one after the other). To give more details: I am writing an iPhone App and from the MainViewController I push a browserViewController on the navigationController. The browserViewController loads a nib which contains a UWebView (I do not create the WebView programatically). The UIWebView is wired up using Interface Builder. When going back to Main and then going again to the browserViewController, I only recreate the browserViewController if it is nil. (I want to keep the content that is loaded i the UIWebView - only if there is a memory warning shoud this view be unloaded and release all memory used). In both, MainV...
