标题: ios - How to let AVPlayer retrieve playlist secured by SSL?

We´re developing a HTTP-streaming iOS app that requires us to receive playlists from a secured site. This site requires us to authenticate using a self signed SSL certificate.

We read the credentials from a .p12 file before we use NSURLConnection with a delegate to react to the authorization challenge.

- (void)connectionNSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallengeNSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
    [[challenge sender] useCredential:  self.credentials forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}

- (BOOL)connectionNSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpaceNSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace
{
    return YES;
}

By doing this initial connection to the URL where we´re getting the .m3u8 playlist we´re able to play back the playlist using AVPlayer. The problem is that this method only works in the simulator.

NOTE: We´re able to download the playlist using the NSURLConnection on device. This must mean that the AVPlayer somehow can´t continue using the trust established during this initial connection.

We have also tried adding the credentials to the [NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] without any luck.

Below follows our shotgun approach for that:

NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace = [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc]
                                         initWithHost:host
                                         port:443
                                         protocol"https"
                                         realm:nil
                                         authenticationMethod:NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate];



[[NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] setDefaultCredential:creds
                                                    forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];

    NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace2 = [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc]
                                         initWithHost:host
                                         port:443
                                         protocol"https"
                                         realm:nil
                                         authenticationMethod:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust];



[[NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] setDefaultCredential:creds
                                                    forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace2];

EDIT: According to this question: the above method doesn´t work with certificates.

Any hint to why it doesn´t work on device, or an alternate solution is welcome!

Best Answer-推荐答案

From iOS 6 onwards AVAssetResourceLoader can be used for retrieving an HTTPS secured playlist or key file.

An AVAssetResourceLoader object mediates resource requests from an AVURLAsset object with a delegate object that you provide. When a request arrives, the resource loader asks your delegate if it is able to handle the request and reports the results back to the asset.

Please find the sample code below.

// AVURLAsset + Loader
AVURLAsset      *asset          = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:url options:nil];
AVPlayerItem    *playerItem     = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:asset];
AVAssetResourceLoader *loader   = asset.resourceLoader;
[loader setDelegate:self queue:dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0)];

// AVPlayer
AVPlayer        *avPlayer       = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:playerItem];

You will need to handle the resourceLoader:shouldWaitForLoadingOfRequestedResource:delegate method which will be called when there is an authentication need and you can use NSURLConnection to request for the secured resource.

(BOOL)resourceLoaderAVAssetResourceLoader *)resourceLoader    shouldWaitForLoadingOfRequestedResourceAVAssetResourceLoadingRequest *)loadingRequest
{

 //Handle NSURLConnection to the SSL secured resource here
  return YES;
}

Hope this helps!

P.S : The proxy approach using CocoaHTTPServer works well but using an AVAssetResourceLoader is a more elegant solution.
