Would someone be able to provide a quick yes or no answer to this question? I am starting to feel there's a conspiracy from Apple to stop people using their hardware decoder for H.264.

The question:

Can you decode H.264 frames using the CoreMedia type CMSampleBuffer and its API?

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Cthutu - 6 years later I am researching how to play raw, non-container H.264 video stream at 5 frames a second on ios. I found this post and a few others, but no good answers yet - so I was wondering if you ever got anywhere on playing h.264 on ios? If you had any links or pointers? – Chuck Nov 15 '18 at 19:01
  • No I didn't because I've long left that job that dealt with that problem. However, a year after I asked this question, I think iOS now exposed the private API that can decode single frames. I can't tell you any more. – Cthutu Nov 26 '18 at 15:47
