Has anybody any idea how to make UITableView the way how it is done with Youtube app?
I mean, in the cells there are thumbnails and some text. This part I have already done.
But still cannot realize how to trigger video. I know how to trigger it from web view, but this is different case.
any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: My observation is that the cells behave like UIWebViews in the native YT app.
Did you have use UITableViewCell for the cell template?
There is MPMoviePlayerController
Overview:
A movie player (of type MPMoviePlayerController) manages the playback of a movie from a file or a network stream. Playback occurs in a view owned by the movie player and takes place either fullscreen or inline. You can incorporate a movie player’s view into a view hierarchy owned by your app, or use an MPMoviePlayerViewController object to manage the presentation for you
You can see also in the detail in Apple's Multimedia Programming Guide by using Video .

We need to open the iPhone camera, to take images that will be saved to the camera roll.
I have read many examples here that all of them opens the UIImagePickerView.
Besides the fact that i cant understand why i have to open the picker view in order to open the camera , i just can't do that- i dont want the picker view, because i have my costumed photo album that we build, and we just need to have a little button in it, that opens the camera to take an image . without opening any other views above it .
Is that possible to use the camera without this pickerview that will cover my scene ?
or can i lead the user to the camera app and than take him back to my app ?
Thanks.
Instead of high level (i.e. Apple supplies the UI element) classes, you have to go to a more foundational (lower) level of API's, which would be AVCaptureDevice and AVCaptureDeviceInput.
And Apple has some nice source code available in their AVCam project.
If you want to display camera stream in you app without UIImagePickerController than you should you AVFoundation framework.
Here some some examples and tutorials:

I have created an overlay to an MPMoviePlayerController using the following code, which essentially adds a subtitle in my iphone xcode project:
[_mpMoviePlayerController.view addSubview:lblOverlayView];
I want to now be able to save the video (and eventually facebook, but I don't NEED help with that, just the saving would be fine) with the subtitles. It is playing a preloaded video, and the dynamic part is the subtitle, which is whatever text the user enters (which becomes the value of lblOverlayView. If you have any other ways of adding text that can very over the top of a preexxisting/preloaded video and then saving/emailing/facebooking it, that would also be great! Just some way of doing it!!
Any help I can get will be hugely appreciated.
I am creating a bit of a video mash up app (like imovie) and the first function I am tackling is the ability to drag a thumbnail from a video library and drop it on a time line. I was able to add the drag code to the video thumbnail class so when you touch it, it creates a drag proxy view which moves around when you move your finger. Next I want to be able to drop it on the time line.
My Timeline is also a uiview and I am unsure of how it can receive notification that the thumbnail is being dragged over it! It will need the position of the thumbnail so that it can show it on the timeline and the duration of the clip and such (information that I have attached to my video thumbnail object)
How would you approach this issue? The App is for ipad and is on ios 5.
Thanks for any pointers!
You will most likely want to subclass the UIView. You can look at this post:

Mainly you will want to see if the My Timeline view is being touched, and then see if you are in the middle of a drag or not.
I've looked through the Apple documentation but have seen no mention of how to do this, nevermind if it's even possible or not. I'd like to make it so that an iPhone/iPad begins video recording automatically when a certain view is loaded, and stops and saves when the view is dismissed. Is there any way that I can do this or am I just going to have to use the normal UI for video recording?
Use AVCaptureSession

What I want to achieve here is a screen with 2 or more different videos on at a time. I know in the apple documentation it says you can't have more than one video playing at a time and thats fine, I don't want to do this.
All I want is to have the 2 videos on screen and when you press on it, it starts to play, you can go fullscreen if you want but as soon as you press on a different video, the old video stops and the new one starts.
I already have three MPMoviePlayerController set up with the correct position, size and video and the 3 boxes are all drawn to the screen but at the moment, only the last one to be drawn to screen can actually be watched.
Does anybody know if there is any way to achieve this or not and if so, how would I go about it?
Thanks,
Matt
As for as I know, you can only have one active movie player at the same time. It's a limitation from MPMoviePlayerController. Message in Apple documentation :
Note: Although you can create multiple MPMoviePlayerController objects
and present their views in your interface, only one movie player at a
time can play its movie.
