iframe embed mobile compatibility

Hey guys, first post. I'm designing a site for a non profit and we have a premium account for media broadcast. My question is, a HUGE concern they have is compatibility with iOS devices like the iphone/ipad and on your "Grab Embed Code" is states that the embed code will function on mobile devices soon. I was hoping for a more solidified date that just soon. Is there a roadmap/timeline for this super important feature?

Thanks for any and all help.

From what i can tell just poking around real quick in the m.livestream code i can impliment the video stream directly to my website with the <video> tag to at least play whats currently live on the channel. Using that combined with a browser type meta tag redirect i could create a site that would be "compatible" on most all viewing platforms. is there any documentation on how to get the channel to queue up the last broadcasted event if there is no current live stream on the channel? Thanks much for your help!

Have you had a chance to play around with this and does it work? At this time we do not have any documentation, but you should be seeing more about this in the coming months.

Has any progress been made on this? Thanks.

We do not have an ETA on when this would be available, however it is a feature our mobile team is working on.

lineket,

You can watch live or on-demand embedded video in the browser of your iPhone.

Best,

I'm not getting, what is wrong?

- (void)embedStream
{
NSString* embedHTML = @"\
<html><head>\
<style type='text/css'>\
body {\
background-color: transparent;\
color: white;\
}\
</style>\
</head><body style='margin:0'>\
<embed id='yt' src='%@' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='%0.0f' height='%0.0f' autoplay='true'></embed>\
</body></html>";

CGRect frame;
frame.size.width=320;
frame.size.height=155;
frame.origin.x=0;
frame.origin.y=0;

link = [link stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];
NSString *parametro = link;
NSString *encoding = [parametro stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8St ringEncoding];
NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://xthbsousax.is.livestream-api.com/livestreamiphone/thbsousa/playlist.m3u8", encoding];
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML,url, frame.size.width, frame.size.height];
UIWebView *videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[videoView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:nil]];
[self.view addSubview:videoView];
NSLog(@"%@",html);
}

Has any more progress been made on this project? Looks like it has been several months since any updates have been made.
