Recording a HTTP livestream from an iOS device using Quicktime Movie Recording

Hi,


I'm working on an iOS video player that uses an AVPlayer object to play a HTTP livestream. For testing purposes I'm hoping to be able to use Quicktimes Movie Recording functionality to record the device output from my test suite, however when I try to do this the video output just shows a black screen. I understand that this is due to the copy protection functionality embedded in the AVPlayer functionality for HTTP livestreams but I'm wondering if there's some way to get around this in a development environment for testing purposes?

I'd also appreciate any further information regarding the HTTP livestreaming copy protection with regards to Quicktime movie recording; I've been having a tough time finding information on it online.


Cheers,

Paul
