How to display a recorded video as repeat as an'n' number of times like in Vine Application.
Here I use the MPMoviePlayerViewController, and works great display the recorded video. But the problem is, it doesn't repeating.
Here the currently using code is,
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath];
playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playerController];
[playerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
playerController.view.frame = CGRectMake(200, 402, 300, 200);
playerController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
playerController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
playerController.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
playerController.moviePlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
[self.view addSubview: playerController.view];
[playerController.moviePlayer play];
NSLog(#"repeatMode: %d",playerController.moviePlayer.repeatMode);
[playerController.view addSubview:customview];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:[playerController moviePlayer]];
And the NSNotification code,
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification
{
NSLog( #"myMovieFinishedCallback: %#", aNotification );
MPMoviePlayerController *movieController = aNotification.object;
NSLog( #"player.playbackState = %d", movieController.playbackState );
}
Can anyone please give the solution..
Note:
I'm using the XCode 4.5.2 tool and ios simulater 6.0
Try this code. It is working.
NSURL *fileUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Video" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:fileUrl];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer setRepeatMode:MPMovieRepeatModeOne];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
you can try this code
-(void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification *) aNotification
{
if (aNotification.object == self.moviePlayer) {
NSInteger reason = [[aNotification.userInfo objectForKey:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey] integerValue];
if (reason == MPMovieFinishReasonPlaybackEnded)
{
[playerController play];
}
}
}
You have to keep the MPMoviePlayerController object as a member, otherwise the app would lose context to it and the movie will not loop.

i have one button in MPMoviePlayerController called done when i click on done button i need to come back to my tableview plz help me any one
MPMoviePlayerController *myPlayer declare global and init . and
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(doneButtonClick:)
name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification
object:nil];
And selector method:
-(void)doneButtonClick:(NSNotification*)aNotification{
[myPlayer stop];
}
I imported the MPMoviePlayerController in my VideosView.h.
In my VideosView.m i embed the following code:
NSString *path2 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myVideo" ofType:#"mp4" inDirectory:#"images"];
NSLog(#"%#", path2);
MPMoviePlayerController *myPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
myPlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
myPlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
myPlayer.fullscreen = YES;
myPlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
myPlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
myPlayer.contentURL =[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path2];
myPlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 500, 500);
myPlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
myPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlModeDefault;
[self addSubview:myPlayer.view];
[myPlayer play];
I've found this example on Stackoverflow, but can't get it working. The link to my video is correct (yes it's in the images folder). I get a 500 by 500px black rectangle on my screen (the frame ofcourse) but no video is playing.
Some help would be great.

Define myPlayer object globally
in your code, the life of the myPlayer ends with the scope of the variable. If you have created inside a method. The player ends with the scope of that method.
#property(nonatomic, strong) MPMoviePlayerController *myPlayer;
then init from anywhere you want,
_myPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
self.moviePlayerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:videoURL];
movie = [self.moviePlayerView moviePlayer];
movie.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
[movie setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
self.moviePlayerView.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
[movie prepareToPlay];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(playbackStateChanged)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
self.moviePlayerView.view.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 304.0f, 221.0f);
[[self.moviePlayerView moviePlayer]play];
add bewlow..
- (void) playbackStateChanged
{
self.moviePlayerView.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
MPMoviePlaybackState playbackState = [self.moviePlayerView.moviePlayer playbackState];
switch (playbackState)
{
case MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped :
break;
case MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying :
break;
case MPMoviePlaybackStateInterrupted :
break;
}
}
I have a MPMoviePlayerViewController to play Movies in fullscreen. I checked the movies they play fine via Quicktime.
The Problem is, that using the MPMoviePlayerViewController (Simulator and device) the Movie doesn't start playing(it's a video that is stored locally on the iPad btw).
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:resource ofType:#"mov"];
self.mpviewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:path]];
[self.mpviewController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = [self presentModalViewController:self.mpviewController animated:YES];
NSLog(#"%d",self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.loadState);
[self.mpviewController.moviePlayer play];
Any Ideas what I am missing ?
tia
well, I dont know what it was. I ended up writing a new view controller with this code - that worked:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:self.urlPath];
self.playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 748);
self.playerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeNone;
[self.playerController.view setFrame:bounds];
[self.view addSubview:self.playerController.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayerDidExitFullscreenCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.playerController];
self.playerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[self.playerController setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[self.playerController play];
How To play Server URL Video in Iphone ?
how to play video from url using MPMoviePlayer ?
(void)loadVideo {
videoUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://movies.apple.com/media/us/mac/getamac/2009/apple-mvp-biohazard_suit-us-20090419_480x272.mov"]];
if(videoUrl) {
if([videoUrl scheme]) {
[self playVideoStream:videoUrl];
}
}
}
-(void)playVideoStream:(NSURL *)movieFileURL {
MPMovieSourceType movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown;
/* If we have a streaming url then specify the movie source type. */
if ([[movieFileURL pathExtension] compare:#"mov" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch] == NSOrderedSame)
{
movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
}
[self createAndPlayMovieForURL:movieFileURL sourceType:movieSourceType];
}
-(void)createAndPlayMovieForURL:(NSURL *)movieURL sourceType:(MPMovieSourceType)sourceType {
/* Play the video! */
[moviePlayer setMovieSourceType:sourceType];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];;
moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(10, 20, 280, 210);
[customVideoView addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer play];
}
You need to set contentURL property at fisrt
moviePlayer.contentURL = urlVideo;
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayer play];
try this:
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"//name of your video here" ofType:#"//format e.g. mp4, m4v"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playerController];
playerController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[playerController.moviePlayer play];
// When movie finished loading you can have a notification and do extra code
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(MovieDidLoad:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];
[playerController release];
playerController = nil;
}
-(void)MovieDidLoad:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSLog(#"logged and notification is %#", notification);
// extra code if needed
}
One of the easy way is to load that video url into a UIWebview.
I am recording the video in my application. I am saving that video inside Documents directory. After taking the video if I try to play the video using the following code. The player opens and quits in one seconds. However if I Quit and then open my app fresh the video I took earlier is playing.
+ (void) playMovieAtURL: (NSURL*) theURL :(id)sender{
NSLog(#"playMovieAtURL");
//senderID = (id *)sender;
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] doubleValue] >= 3.2) {
NSLog(#"> 3.2");
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:theURL];
if (mp)
{
// save the movie player object
//self.moviePlayerViewController = mp;
//[mp release];
[sender presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
//mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[mp.moviePlayer play];
}
[mp release];
}
else if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] doubleValue] < 3.2) {
NSLog(#"< 3.2");
MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: theURL];
theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
// Register for the playback finished notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver: self
selector: #selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object: theMovie];
// Movie playback is asynchronous, so this method returns immediately.
[theMovie play];
[theMovie release];
}
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *aMoviePlayer = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:aMoviePlayer];
// If the moviePlayer.view was added to the view, it needs to be removed
if ([aMoviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
[aMoviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
This is the code I use for storing the video inside documents.
NSURL *videoURL = [imageInfo objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSData *webData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
self.itsVideoName = fileName;
[webData writeToFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",dataPath,fileName] atomically:TRUE];
I finally figured out the answer after few hours of searching. This is the code I am using now..
-(IBAction)playMovie:(NSString *) theURL
{
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURL];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
//After putting the following line the problem solved.
moviePlayerController.useApplicationAudioSession = NO;
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
the code moviePlayerController.useApplicationAudioSession = NO; is used to solve this problem. I am not sure how this problem solved I guess I am using session for audio I guess that was causing problem to this.
Also the code which I originally posted was taking lots of memory like if I opened 2 video it cost 104 mb allocation for me. This new code was perfect and it is taking only less memory. Hope this will help for some one..
*NSURL fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURL];
should use NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:theURL];
