I have an application with a TabBarController containig two TabBars with a NavigationController.
In the first tabbar, I have a ViewController containing some buttons. One of these buttons enable the user to play video. And all run fine for the moment.
My problem is that when the video is being played and I move to the second TabBar, the video continue playing (I hear the sound), then if I come back to the first TabBar (where there is my buttons) the application crashes without any notification.
I don't understand if it's a memory problem or something else.
Any suggestions?
Here is the function used :
-(IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
videoView = [[UIViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"video" bundle:nil];
videoView.title = #"title";
NSString *urlStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"video.mp4" ofType:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr];
moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
testbtnAppDelegate *appDelegate = (testbtnAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
videoView.view=moviePlayerController.view;
[moviePlayerController play];
[appDelegate.navController pushViewController:videoView animated:YES];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
[moviePlayerController pause];
before u go to secondtab pause.

I have a ViewController which displays the information about the selected show, and the play button of the MPMoviePlayerController is there. Now, the issue is when I clicked on the full screen of the player then clicked done. It is supposed to go back to the ViewController which displays the info, but it isn't. But it is going in to the viewDidLoad of the ViewController and it doesn't display anything at all. I feel like something is on the top of the ViewController or something like that
Here's how I remove the player controller
- (void)dealloc
{
self.delegate = nil;
self.activityIndicator = nil;
[self deregisterMoviePlayerNotifications];
[self.player.view removeFromSuperview];
[self removeFromSuperview];
[self stopVideo];
self.player = nil;
}
You should use AVPlayerViewController as MPMoviePlayerController is deprecated. You can use this code on play button
-(void)playButton{
AVPlayer *player = [[AVPlayer alloc]initWithURL:urlVideo];
AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init];
controller.player = player;
controller.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:) name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification object:player.currentItem];
controller.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect;
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
[player play];
}
-(void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification*)notification{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
Note : Don't forget to add AVFoundation.framework.
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;
I tried to launch a movie by clicking in a button. When I click the Movie player appears and works fine. The movie plays until the end and the Movie player disappears. After it disappears, my app crashes...
I use my View Controller in Tab Bar Application with this code :
- (void)moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification *) aNotification{
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[player setFullscreen:NO animated:YES];
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
[player stop];
player.initialPlaybackTime = -1.0;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[player release];
player=nil;
}
- (IBAction)playVideo:(UIButton *)playButton{
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Teaser 04" ofType:#"mov"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
player.shouldAutoplay = YES;
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0., 44., self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-44);
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
}
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I just want configure a button that start the video and when the video is finished, the MoviePlayer View disappears and the app come back to my initial .xib
Thank you for your help
I found the solution, I don't know if it is the best but for what I want it's working :
- (void)movieFinishedCallBack:(NSNotification *) aNotification{
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
[player stop];
[player release];
}
- (IBAction)playVideo:(UIButton *)playButton{
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Teaser 04" ofType:#"mov"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallBack:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 950, 600);
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
}
I could be wrong, but my guess is that the player gets used somewhere in the backtrace for the call to moviePlayBackDidFinish: ... If I'm right, then deallocing the object there - which it looks like you're doing - is bad news, since the object is still needed somewhere up in the stack.
Check out this post for more details: How to release MPMoviePlayerController?
I'm trying to use the MPMoviePlayerController class on the iPad.
Here's my code:
multimediaPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
multimediaPlayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeDefault;
[multimediaPlayer play];
and this works very well on the iPhone but it don't want to run on the iPad. I hear the sound of the video, but the movie doesn't playing.
Why it can be this problem?
Below code working perfect for my application. Hope it would do same for you.
The main thing is to set the frame of mpMoviePlayerController's frame. if you don't do it, it would almost not show the video.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
// Register to receive a notification when the movie has finished playing.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
// Register to receive a notification when the movie scaling mode has changed.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieScalingModeDidChange:)
name:MPMoviePlayerScalingModeDidChangeNotification
object:nil];
kDomain = [NSString stringWithString:#"http://www.virtua-book.com/"];
[navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
NSURL *ur=[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"IPAD" ofType:#"mp4"]];
mpMCtr=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:ur];
mpMCtr.fullscreen=YES;
[mpMCtr setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeFill];
[mpMCtr setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[mpMCtr setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
[mpMCtr setMovieSourceType:MPMovieSourceTypeFile];
mpMCtr.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);
[mpMCtr setRepeatMode:MPMovieRepeatModeNone];
[mpMCtr play];
[ur release];
// Override point for customization after app launch
[navigationController.view addSubview:mpMCtr.view];
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
// Notification called when the movie finished playing.
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
[mpMCtr.view removeFromSuperview];
}
To fix back/forward (or previous/next) buttons you should do the following:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChange:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
...
- (void) moviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChange: (NSNotification *) notification {
if (moviePlayer.playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped) {
[moviePlayer setContentURL:[moviePlayer contentURL]];
[moviePlayer play];
}
}
Something along these lines is probably what you want to do:
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mpvc = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentUrl:movieUrl];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewController:mpvc];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:movieURL];
mp.moviePlayer.controlStyle = 2;
Ok, guys, I found that this: is deprecated.
The solution is multimediaPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault; but it still doesn't work.
