MPMoviePlayer controlStyle - iphone

Question

I want to hide the controls from the MPMoviePlayer with this code:
-(IBAction)video:(id)sender {
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"Intro" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *movie = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *control = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:movie];
//[self.view addSubview: control.view];
control.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
control.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
control.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[control play];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *movieplayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:movie];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movieplayer]; }
But that does not work.

Answer 1

You are repeating code. MPMoviePlayerViewController has MPMoviePlayerController. So use it as movieplayervc.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;

Answer 2

have you tried this
[videoPlayerobj setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];

Answer 3

My player is set up in the viewDidLoad and this line hides the MPMoviePlayerController. I have intialised my MPMoviePlayer controller as *stream.
stream.view.hidden = YES;
Hope this helps!

Answer 4

You can play video and stop video and remove from your custom view with this code. and MPMoviePlayerController is movie player.
Hope this is useful for you.thank you
-(void)playMovie:(id)sender {
UIButton *buttonThatWasPressed = (UIButton *)sender;
buttonThatWasPressed.enabled = NO;
NSString * str=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"yo2" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL * url=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:str];
MPMoviePlayerController * movieController=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
movieController.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[movieController.view setFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:movieController.view];
[movieController prepareToPlay];
[movieController play];
_moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:_moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDonePressed:)
name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification
object:_moviePlayer];
_moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
_moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:_moviePlayer.view];
[_moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES]; }
This method is called when your video or movie is stop from user or video playback has finish.
-(void) moviePlayBackDonePressed:(NSNotification*)notification {
[_moviePlayer stop];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:_moviePlayer];
if ([_moviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
{
[_moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
}
_moviePlayer=nil;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"show" sender:self];
}];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification { // Remove observer
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"show" sender:self];
}];
}
