iPhone Streaming Radio Application(repost)(repost)

Build a proof-of-concept iPhone radio streaming application which uses the custom built FFMPEG & libMMS libraries provided by TuneIn Radio's LGPL source code (see project details for links). The proof-of-concept should use the RadioTime Directory via their open API and allow the user to browse and search for any of their radio stations. Upon selecting a radio station, the application should be able to play and stream the radio station. This proof-of-concept application will not be submitted to the App Store, so there is no need for a fancy custom UI. The standard iOS navigation controller and table views will suffice. The important part is the quality of the radio playback. Buffering will have to be implemented to compensate for temporary network issues (via 3G or WiFi) such as packet loss, etc. Compatibility will all possible RadioTime stations (different streaming protocols & codecs) and the stability of the application as a whole (doesn't crash or freeze) is also extremely important.

## Deliverables

Build a proof-of-concept iPhone radio streaming application which uses the custom built FFMPEG & libMMS libraries provided by TuneIn Radio's LGPL source code.

The application needs the following features:

-iOS SDK 4.2 application using Objective-C (and C/C++ if necessary)

-High quality radio playback. Buffering will have to be implemented to compensate for temporary network issues (via 3G or WiFi) such as packet loss, etc.

-RadioTime Directory integration via their open API.

-allow the user to browse all station by category, and location

-allow the user to search their radio station database

-show the user the current song title, artist, & artwork, via the API, if info is available

-Upon selecting a radio station, the application should be able to play and stream the radio station

-Note: no client-side caching is necessary for this application. The coder can assume that every direct action such as browsing and searching will perform a web-API call and wait for the results

-i.e.: **No server side code development is needed for this project**! All server side code is provided directly by the RadioTime servers :)

-Compatibility with all possible RadioTime stations is required. Please see the following link for the different possible playlist+codec+protocol combinations.

**This proof-of-concept application will *not* be submitted to the App Store as is, so there is no need for a fancy custom UI. The standard iOS navigation controller and table views will suffice.

We are a small team of developers. We will take the completed project and modify it for our needs.

**Reposting this project. The worker from the original project simply disappeared and I did not hear from him for weeks. vWorker banned him from the site because he had multiple accounts.**

**This project does not require fancy custom UI -- simply robust radio streaming code with TuneIn Radio's FFMPEG & libMMS LGPL build.**

## Platform

-Objective-C / C / C++ & iOS SDK 4.2 For iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad (iPad specific support is not necessary, however the application should work and will be tested on several iOS devices including the iPad) AND -PHP / Ruby on Rails & MySQL for server side component OR -C# / .NET / [url removed, login to view] 2008/2010 & MS SQL Server 2008 R2 for server side component
