I want to play the video from url in iphone app but it does not play in the app i am using following code
-(IBAction)play
{
NSString*videoFilepath=#"http://myserver.com.pk/Specticle_Revision_v1.mov";
NSLog(#"Filepath is: %#", videoFilepath);
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFilepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *movie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(playbackFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:movie];
[movie play];
}
Do this:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://myserver.com.pk/Specticle_Revision_v1.mov"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:mp];
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
[mp release];
Looks like this:
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFilepath];
Is your problem. Your "http://" - style URL is not a file URL. File URL's (on the local device / file system) begin with "file:///".
Try:
NSURL * videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString: videoFilepath];
and see if that works better.

I am struggling to play a video which is a url of the video file on a server. I have a view in which I display url from the web service. When I click the url(contained in a table cell) I want that a new view should appear with movie player on it playing the video. I have tried MPMoviePlayerViewController and also MPMoviePlayerController and various combinations of the two but I could not play the video on simulator. Currently I don't have a device so please consider simulator as well as device while answering. Currently i am using:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
self.player= [[ MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
//self.player.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
[self.player.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
//self.player.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
self.player.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
self.player.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
self.player.moviePlayer.fullscreen = NO;
[self presentModalViewController:self.player animated:NO];
[self.player.moviePlayer play];
filepath is a nsstring containing the video url.
Replace your this line : NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
with this: NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]; & then try.
My Code I am using MPMOVIEPLAYERVIEWCONTROLLER:
NSData *geturl = [[videoparsing objectAtIndex:btntag]objectForKey:#"iurl"];
myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:geturl encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"myString..%#",myString);
NSURL *fileURL=[NSURL URLWithString:myString];
NSLog(#"fileURL..%#",fileURL);
moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayerController.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer play];
If video file is on server then
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:filePath];
other should be change movieSourceType to MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming :
self.player.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
Also
self.player.moviePlayer.fullscreen = YES;
EDIT : Add :
self.player.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
remove :
[self.player.moviePlayer play];
I am using MPMoviePlayerController to stream http video files from web.
But am getting error and the video is not streaming.
Can I get any help for this?
-(IBAction)play
{
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<html><head><title>HTTP Live Streaming Example</title></head><body><video src=http link"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlString];
_mpMoviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:_mpMoviePlayer];
[self.view addSubview:_mpMoviePlayer.view];
[_mpMoviePlayer release];
}
This is my code and I am not able to get the streaming video.
For some reason the setcurrentPlayback Method does not work. Thanks for any thoughts...
-(IBAction)abspielen:(id)sender {
NSString *titleOfButton = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:titleOfButton ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *movieURL = [ NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *themovie =
[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL: movieURL];
[themovie play];
[themovie setCurrentPlaybackRate:2.f];
[themovie release];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer =
[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer release];
}
add the line
themovie.rate=2.f;
insted of [themovie setCurrentPlaybackRate:2.f]; line
may be its work....
sometime in use of HTML blog,this method not work so just try given 1 line
May be it is useful to you....

I am trying to play a video that is stored in an NSData object. I save the file to my applications temp folder and then try to play it, but all I get is a black screen. I can later browse to that folder and play the file, so I know that the file gets written and is supported.
This is my code:
NSString *urlString = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"test.m4v"];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayer.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview: moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer play];
The only thing I can think of is that it takes some time for the file to get written, and the player tries to access it before it is done. Is that possible, and if so, how do I fix it?
When working with files you should tell the NSURL that the URL should point to a
file:
NSString *urlString = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"test.m4v"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlString];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayer.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview: moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer play];
i am trying to play a video from a Url with help of MPMovieplayer which loads it in the Quicktime player while i want the video to play in my application only(no background mode)?? how can i achieve that?? will playing the video in a UIWebview instead of MPMoviePlayer work??
Also when QuickTime Player loads only Audio plays and no video is displayed?? i am using the following code
NSString *videoFilepath = #"http://www.migital.com/Hemant/1.3gp";
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoFilepath ];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *movie = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(playbackFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:movie];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movie];
you have to add movie.view to your view
web = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
NSString *urlAddress = #"HTTP://";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[web loadRequest:requestObj];
