Hi,

I would like to stream some video files(which can be supported) from Internet, can i use MPMoviePlayerController class and do that? Does MPMoviePlayerController do streaming and giving us the video?

Yes, MPMoviePlayerController works with streaming videos. Apple recommends using WiFi if you're going to be streaming large videos.

you don't stream images, you download them and put them in UIImageViews.

Ok. I got NSURLDownload class to download a file from a URL.

Thanks.
