title: iPhone Live Video Stream Media Player
body: <p>I'm hoping to make an app that streams live video that has a view placed on top with labels and a button on it. </p>
  
  <p>From my research and testing of the http video streaming feature (available since iPhone 3.0 OS), it seems that you create a webview that points to the index html that contains the converted video stream, and this displays as a quicktime video in the app. This means that I don't have control over the Media Player that is opened. Does anyone know how you can control this?</p>
  
  <p>I know that the Apple's MoviePlayer sample code shows you how to place views on top of a MediaPlayer video, but how can this be done with a http live stream?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
