Answer 1

You can use MPMovieplayerviewcontroller. It is perfect for streaming audio/video. I am also

use this for streaming audio in one of my App & also it looks like default player of iPhone.

Ok here is coding for use of this player as I am doing in my project:

    NSString *geturl = [[radiotablearray objectAtIndex:btntag]objectForKey:@"iurl"];
    NSLog(@"geturl..%@",geturl);
    NSURL *fileURL=[NSURL URLWithString:geturl];
    NSLog(@"fileURL..%@",fileURL);
    moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
    [moviePlayerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
    moviePlayerController.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
    moviePlayerController.view.frame = self.view.frame;
    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer play];

Also add mediaplayer & Avfoundation framework in App.And add or import these two in .h file:

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

& import #import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>this in .m file. also make property of player like below in .h file:

MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerController;
 @property(strong,retain)  MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerController;

And add method where you want but also make changes in code according to your need I am just send you my implement code you just change it with your requirement. Best of luck.
