I am using MpMovieplayer to play mov files dynamically(selecting videos from devices) in ios 5 but it is not playing.It shows blackscreen.I also tried directly movie url giving to player but it doesn't work.Is there any player instead of MPMovieplayer to play mov files.Thanks in advance
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Movie" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSLog(#"movieURL ----%#",movieURL);
movieplayer=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
if([movieplayer respondsToSelector:#selector(view)])
{
movieplayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[movieplayer.view setFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:movieplayer.view];
movieplayer.shouldAutoplay=true;
[movieplayer play];
}
try
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"your movie" ofType:#"mov"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController* tmpMoviePlayViewController=[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
if (tmpMoviePlayViewController) {
tmpMoviePlayViewController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentModalViewController:tmpMoviePlayViewController animated:YES];
tmpMoviePlayViewController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(myMovieViewFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:tmpMoviePlayViewController];
[tmpMoviePlayViewController.moviePlayer play];
}
You should take a look at the AVPlayer class.
MPMoviePlayerController is actually 'derived' from the AVPlayer class so that could make it work.

I can't seem to create the "Done" button at my video. I have attached my code below:
- (IBAction)playVideoButton:(id)sender {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Video1" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url];
AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init];
controller.player = player;
//to view on full UIScreen
self.mc = controller;
controller.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];
[player play];
}
You were not using the AVPlayerViewController class properly. Here is how you are supposed to use it:
- (IBAction)playVideoButton:(id)sender {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Video1" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url];
AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init];
controller.player = player;
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
}
With that, you'll have the "Done" button comes with AVPlayerViewController along with other playback buttons (e.g. pause/resume and etc.).
I am placing an MPMoviePlayerController in my view at a certain size and position. This is working fine. However, in certain circumstances, I want the video to play full screen. My view is part of a UISPlitViewController, so if I just get the view width, it is not full screen. What I need is to show the video as if the user had clicked the double ended arrow in the player controls to maximise the video.
Here is my code so far. Can anyone fill in the missing bit that forces the full screen playing?
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// FIND OUT HOW MANY VIDEOS ARE AVAILABLE
int videoCount = [[self videos] count];
// GET THE FILE NAME OF THE FIRST AVAILABLE VIDEO
NSString* fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.mp4", [self videos] objectAtIndex:0]];
NSArray *arrayPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [arrayPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
// PLACE THE MOVIE AT THE CORRECT LOCATION ON THE PAGE
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[moviePlayer view] setFrame:CGRectMake(100, 100, 600, 360)];
[[moviePlayer view] setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];
[[self view] addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer play];
if(videoCount == 1)
{
-- MAXIMISE THE VIDEO TO FULL SCREEN AND LANDSCAPE --
}
}
Thanks
As per Apple's documentation, you just have to set the `MPMoviePlayerController to go full screen:
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES]
Have you tried this?
Please use MPMoviePlayerViewController Because of MP4 file. When you use MOV then working perfect!!
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerViewController;
-(void)PlayVedioController:(NSString*)videoUrl1
{
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoUrl1];
moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
// Register for the playback finished notification.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer];
//Present
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];
// Play the movie!
moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer play];
}
-(void)myMovieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer];
[moviePlayerViewController release], moviePlayerViewController = nil;
}
I have got a horizontal scrollview like the Springboard with 16 buttons on each of these pages. When you click a button I want to only see the MPMoviePlayerController which plays a video and nothing else, like if you are watching a movie in the videos application. Therefore, I've got the following code:
- (void)button: (id) sender {
NSString *moviePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"video" ofType:#"MOV"];
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
Unfortunately, I only get to hear sound and there is no video showing. Can anybody help me, please?
Update: I found out that you would have to make a frame. I used the following code:
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1004)];
But it isn't in fullscreen that way. Even if I've set the fullscreen property to YES. I can see that because there are no video-controls at the top of the view but at the bottom of the view.
I found the solution. You should use the following code:
NSString *moviePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"1" ofType:#"MOV"];
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
[self presentModalViewController:playerView animated:YES];
I am trying to set up a very simple video player. (iOS 5.1, Xcode 4.3.1)
-(void)playMedia {
NSString *movieFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Movie" ofType:#"m4v"];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:movieFile]];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayer.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
moviePlayer.fullscreen = YES;
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[self.view addSubview: moviePlayer.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(playMediaFinished:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer play];
}
It works fine when called, but it only plays for four seconds, then a black screen appears. If I tap the screen during playback, it will play the entire sequence. If I stop tapping the screen for four seconds, the black screen appears.
What am i missing?

Edited version plays fine.
In the interface file:
#property (nonatomic,strong) MPMoviePlayerController *myMovieController;
In the .m file:
-(void)playMedia {
NSString *movieFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Movie" ofType:#"m4v"];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:movieFile]];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayer.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
moviePlayer.fullscreen = YES;
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
self.myMovieController = moviePlayer;
[self.view addSubview: self.myMovieController.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(playMediaFinished:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[self.myMovieController play];
}
If you're using ARC I believe you need to retain the outer moviePlayer. I just assigned it to a new property myself. HTH
The solution is that the player would have to be an instance variable or property of the view controller.
ie We must use the instance of MPMoviePlayerController
#property (nonatomic,strong) MPMoviePlayerController *myMovieController;
So we have buttons linked up to display images/videos/audio on click depending on a check we do earlier. That part works fine. It knows which one to play, however, when we click the buttons for video and audio, nothing happens. The image one works fine.
The video and audio are being taken for a URL online, they are not local, but everywhere said this was still possible. Here is a little snippet of the code where we play the two files:
if ( [fName hasSuffix:#".png"])
{
NSLog(#"PICTURE");
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:
fName];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData: [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]];
self.view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
// self.view.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"MainBG.jpg"]];
[self.view addSubview:[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image]];
}
if ( [fName hasSuffix:#".mp4"])
{
NSLog(#"VIDEO");
//NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:fName ofType:#"mp4"];
//NSLog(path);
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fName];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[player play];
}
if ( [fName hasSuffix:#".mp3"])
{
NSLog(#"AUDIO");
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fName];
NSData *soundData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
AVAudioPlayer *avPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:soundData error: nil];
[avPlayer play];
}
See anything wrong? By the way it compiles and runs, but nothing happens when we hit the button that executes that code.
I am not sure why they are not playing, does it ever reach the video and audio conditons?
Either way your currently missing before you play the movie
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
You will then need the function to handle the callback
-(void)movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification *)notification{
NSLog(#"MOVIE FINISHED");
if(player == [notification object]){
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[player release];
player = nil;
}
}
