Can AVFoundation be coerced into playing a local .ts file?

Question

Clearly, AVFoundation (and Quicktime X) can demux and play properly encoded .ts containers, because .ts containers underly HTTPS live streaming.

This problem was annoying for us too for a long time. We have finally decided to write a tool to convert a list of ts to an mp4 file. It consists in using TSDemux to demux and concatenate videos/audios and then generate a mp4 file with GPAC.

It does really answer your question, but it may be a way to do what you want to do. This tool is on Github, feel free to try: https://github.com/Keemotion/TS2MP4
