Hi Everyone Gud Evening
I have taken a view on which i had to play the video, the video is being played Perfectly, but very rarely i the video is not being appeared on the view, at that time i got a warning in the console like
WARNING: under normal conditions, _fillInQueueWithExtraSpace:ignoreExistingItems: should not be re-entered.
Could some one help me to sort out this problem
Thank You Everyone
I have 2 UIView's in being displayed on the same view, In one view when i start drawing the movieplayer gets started in the bottomProgressView , in the viewcontroller in viewdidload the code is like this
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"progres" ofType:#"mp4"];
timeCompletedCnlr = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]] ;
[timeCompletedCnlr.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0,468, 600, 50)];
[timeCompletedCnlr setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
[bottomProgressView addSubview:timeCompletedCnlr.view];
}
When i touch the view that is being to drawn then the below method is called.
- (void)removeGivenWord
{
[bottomToolBar removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:bottomProgressView];
[timeCompletedCnlr play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(helpVideoFinished:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:timeCompletedCnlr];
UIButton *doneBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
doneBtn.frame = CGRectMake(601, 940, 167, 43);
[doneBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"done.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[doneBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(doneButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:doneBtn];
}
the view on which the video is placed also contains the done button too..
- (void)doneButtonClicked {
[timeCompletedCnlr stop];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(helpVideoFinished:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:timeCompletedCnlr];
}
- (void) helpVideoFinished:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player1 = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player1];
[smoothLineView completed5Sec];
NSLog(#"5sec called");
NSError *error = [[aNotification userInfo] objectForKey:#"error"];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Did finish with error: %#", error);
}
}
My Problem is the video sometimes it appears and sometime it doesn't come,

I have been able to successfully play a video on start of the app by calling a function that plays the video in the viewDidLoad method. But on doing so, i am unable to see the "Done" button. The "Done" button only seems to appear if i call that same function with the help of a button. I am posting the code below. How will I make this done appear by calling the same function in the viewDidLoad method? What have i been doing wrong? Thank you!
in my viewcontroller.m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self playMedia];
}
- (void) playMedia {
//hide status bar first
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
//resets again in playMediaFinished
movieFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"sec" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: movieFile];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(playMediaFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:NO animated:YES];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
CGAffineTransform transform = self.view.transform;
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320)];
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
NSLog(#"Should be playing Movie");
}
- (void) playMediaFinished: (NSNotification*) theNotification {
moviePlayer = [theNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
if ([moviePlayer
respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
{
[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
[playerView removeFromSuperview];
//reset status bar
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
}
NSLog(#"Should be DONE playing Movie");
}
Try doing this using viewDidAppear instead of viewDidLoad. I'm not surprised starting a video in viewDidLoad is causing unexpected behavior considering you're presenting the video before the main view appears on screen. Keep in mind, the view is done loading before it is actually visible.
I'm trying to code a video into my iPhone app and the code below works perfectly but the only thing is that I rather the video not automatically start playing when the user opens the page. I want them to be able to push the play button. The code below is located in my viewcontroller.m file.
(void)viewDidLoad
{
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"77860_00_01_MM02_welcome"
ofType:#"mov"];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(10, 235, 150, 125);
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
[player play];
}
Never mind, I figured it out. I just added [player prepareToPlay] under player.shouldAutoplay = NO
Don't put it in your viewDidLoad. Just create an IBAction them link it up to your trigger button.
I have an app where I play a movie after a touch on the view and then when the movie is finished. I place a button on the view. On clicking the button a second movie plays. But it seems that it is only then loaded and a short black screen appears. I want to avoid the black screen now...
Heres the code:
Initialization in viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
NSString *movpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"movie1"
ofType:#"m4v"];
mpviewController =
[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:movpath]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
mp = [mpviewController moviePlayer];
// [mp setMovieControlMode:MPMovieControlModeHidden];
// [mp.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 250, 263)];
mp.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
mp.shouldAutoplay = NO;
[mp prepareToPlay];
[mp pause];
then on a storyboard touch I call startAnimation
- (IBAction)startAnimation:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Animation 1");
[self.view addSubview:mpviewController.view];
[mp play];
}
after this movie finishes I set the button
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
NSLog(#"...movie done");
// generate start button for animation 2
startAnimation2Button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
startAnimation2Button.tag = 1;
[startAnimation2Button addTarget:self action:#selector(startAnimation2:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
startAnimation2Button.frame = CGRectMake(130, 230, 070, 070);
startAnimation2Button.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
startAnimation2Button.alpha = 0.1;
[self.view addSubview:startAnimation2Button];
}
then after a touch on the button, the second animation starts
- (IBAction)startAnimation2:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"Animation 2");
NSString *movpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"movie2"
ofType:#"m4v"];
[mp setContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:movpath]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback2:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
[mp play];
}
but here a short black screen appears, probably while movie2 is loaded and is then playing.
How can I avoid the black screen?

You will not be able to entirely get rid of the pre buffering delay (black phase) between the videos when using MPMoviePlayerController.
Use AVQueuePlayer instead.
AVQueuePlayer is a subclass of AVPlayer you use to play a number of items in sequence.
See other questions and issues on that matter.
I´ve created an new ViewController (only with the .h and .m file) and added that code to play a video. After the video has finished, i get a "Exe_bad_access" error.
Error message when adding "NSZombieEnabled=true" to the excecutable as a argument:
"TestPlayingVideo[654:207]
-[MPMoviePlayerController stop]: message sent to deallocated instance
0x63042d0"
Whats wrong with that? How can i do correct memory management when playing video?

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

There's a lot of confusion here over what you're releasing: for example, here's your main alloc of your movie player:
MPMoviePlayerViewController* moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url] ];
But what you are releasing isn't this moviePlayerController - you're only releasing the .moviePlayer property of your MPMoviePlayerController. Notice when you create your NSNotification you're passing moviePlayerController.moviePlayer, not simply moviePlayerController.
So you're not releasing your moviePlayerController, you're in fact attempting to release a property of that object. Which you shouldn't do - you should release the object, and let it worry about releasing its properties.
i have a tabbar based application with 2 tabs. One to show images and the other to show videos. If i click on the video tab, different thumbnails are showing up. If i click on one of these images, i would like to push that videoviewController to play a video in another navigation view - if i turn the iphone around, it will play fullscreen. So, actually its the same functionality like the original "photo"- app.
What i´ve got so far is a scrollview with different buttons where i added a backgroundimage. By clicking on one of these buttons, i´ve added the button-functionality:
[myButton addTarget:nil action:#selector(buttonDown: ) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
And here´s my "buttonDown"-method:
-(void) buttonDown:(NSString*) sender {
moviePlayer = [[MoviePlayer alloc] init];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
NSLog(#"MoviePlayer: %#", moviePlayer);
[self.navigationController pushViewController:moviePlayer animated:YES];
[moviePlayer release];}
Here´s my "MoviePlayer.m"-file:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
UIView* imageView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100 )];
imageView.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"testmovie" ofType:#"mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
//player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[player play];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
[player autorelease];
}
So the navigation works great - by clicking on a button, the view is pushed (and i get my green test-uiview) and the sound of that video file is been playing - but no video is visible, only that sound.
I´ve no idea - if i test that code in a new viewbased-project-template it works great. So i think there some problems with the views.
Any ideas on that?
Would be great. Thanks for your time.
Give this a go:
[player setFullscreen:YES];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:player];
I believe that should resolve your woes! Please vote for answer if it assists!
