Old code but it converts the M4A to CAF which is supported by the audio streamer. I have "possible" in the title due to being unable to test the code at the moment, however I will edit this post shortly once I have.

I implemented the above blog and I got the files converting to CAF and streaming but they are not playing on the other end. Did you ever try this out yet?

I'm currently digging in to see why they aren't playing on the other end. I'll post whatever I find.

@wesselj1 anything?

@karadza3a I never found a direct cause. I haven't had much time for this dev project recently. I did notice however in a previous issue several people said that it did not work with devices running iOS 8, but only devices running iOS 7. I have been running iOS 8 beta since before the project I'm trying to use this in, so that could be the case. Unfortunately I've only got one device still running 7 :/

Essentially, yes it is converting and streaming, but nothing plays on either of my devices. Might be a compatibility issue with iOS 8. I believe I've tried both ways, streaming from 8 to 7 and vice versa. If I had a second 7 device handy I could try that.

Did you ever get this to work @wesselj1 ?
