I came across this ans to avoid fullscreen video player in iPhone.Can we use this module to create video player custom controls.
I have using jwplayer and have own custom video controls (fast forward/backward, transcript, slow/fast, volume control, fullscreen).This controls gets hidden in iPhone and native iPhone video player is shown.
Is there any way to avoid this iphone fullscreen and still bring own custom controls.
Can this module be used for jwplayer? to bring own custom video control with jwplayer.
I have not seen that particular library in use with our player, so you're more than able to try it - but I cannot guarantee any success, nor can we provide support for its use.
With that being said, iOS 10 is slated to bring inline video playback to Safari for iPhone and the good news is our player is already set up in the way it needs to take advantage of this. Obviously, iOS 10 is in beta and not final yet so things are subject to change, but this is good news for those customers looking for inline video playback in Safari on iPhone.

I am making a video streaming application. I want my application to show the video player in a tiny window when the app is minimised while playing like amazon prime app.Is there any way to implement this
This feature is known as pictures in picture mode. I used this plugin pip_flutter to implement this feature.
I'm shipping a quicktime .mov video encoded with H.264, low quality. It's about 2 MB small. Not full-screen.
The video must be embedded in a view. Is MPMoviePlayerController state-of-the-art for this purpose, or are there better (easier) options?
It's important that the video plays in the non-fullscreen view, and that playback controls are either overlayd on top of the video or can be customized. I'm not sure if MPMoviePlayerController is good for this.
MPMoviePlayerController and MPMoviePlayerViewController are two classes you can use to play video in iOS SDK.
MPMoviePlayerViewController is supposed to be presented as a modal view controller, so it's not what you're looking for.
MPMoviePlayerController plays the video onto a view (UIView) which you can add in your view hierarchy, which is what you need.
Be aware that on iOS < 3.2, MPMoviePlayerController is fullscreen only (not a problem if you're targeting 3.2 or newer).
Although you can do customizations by adding your own buttons (for play, pause and stop controls), sliders (for volume and seeking) and labels (to display duration and length), Apple encourages the use of standard video controls. The reason is that users are used to the standard UI (which is also pretty advanced, supporting features such as fine scrubbing), plus if Apple ever adds new features to it in future versions of iOS, you won't have to add them yourself in your customized implementation.
MPMoviePlayerController is the most straight forward way to play a video, you can do other things including
Play it on a web view
Use AVFoundation and AVPlayer to play the video
With MPMoviePlayerController the video isnt "embedded" in the view rather another view pops up and plays the video, with AVFoundation and AVPlayer you can actually embed it into your view...check out this stack over flow question which details how to use the AVFoundation to play a video here
I am building an application that implements a custom view on iPhone's native media player. I want your help in deciding directions to lay this effort. At present I have find out that iPhone SDK doesn't support APIs to customize media player.
I need these things in the player:
I would like to have custom views i.e. want to change all control buttons on player like Play/Pause, seek bar etc. The background of player will also need to be different. The player has to play audio or video file from local/remote location. Can i use MPMoviePlayerController if it can be customized (How to do it ??). However, any other third party player approved by iPhone which has an ability to download and play the media file from local/remote location is also fine.
It will be great to have an access to media player buffer so that it can be encrypted.
I have following questions:
Any help in building/customizing player.....
Do you see issues in signing of application?
Does Apple have any restrictions on customizing media player?
Any sample iPhone application where media player is customized
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
When we call MPMoviePlayerController.play method, the movie player is opened and the video is played in a separate full screen. is it possible to play a video in a custom view, that is I have an image added on a view, when this image is clicked, the image has to be removed and the video has to play there itself as the feature in iPad.
Non-full screen playback of video is possible in iPhone OS 3.2 for iPad.
If you are porting an application that uses the MPMoviePlayerController class of the Media Player framework, you must change your code if you want it to run in iPhone OS 3.2. The old version of this class supports only full-screen playback using a simplified interface. The new version supports both full- and partial-screen playback and offers you more control over various aspects of the playback.
On the full-screen question, see this section of the iPad Programming Guide for further information, and this property of MPMoviePlayerController specifically.
Bear in mind that you can still only play one video at a time, and that this is only currently possible for iPad.
Not using MPMoviePlayerController, no.
You might be able to achieve this using a custom movie player, but I haven't seen one in the wild yet, and I don't know how it would be done.
I would like to play a video from inside the rendered page with an iPhone/Safari.
When I put a <video>, it's always opened and played in a separate full-screen Quicktime window. Is there a way to play the video directly from the page?
(a similar question Play video not in full screen mode suggests it's not possible)
Yes, it's possible to play video within the browser, but as you said, in the Quicktime fullscreen application, and the HTML5 sound API is not available (in iPhone OS 3.x).
But in the coming iPhone OS 4, it will be possible (used for iAd), so you will have to wait until this summer (or play with the beta SDK now).
No, with the current SDK compatible media will always play in full screen and there is no way to avoid that.
