Before downvote please read the question, I also see other question but doesn't find useful.
I have a requirement in my current app, where i needed to play 360º video (Like Panorama). one app on app store doing same Name "GoPano"
http://itunes.apple.com/ke/app/gopano/id459463884?mt=8
I created a framework over the last 2.5 years, which plays back 360° panoramic video playback on iOS, similar to your requirements.
It is compatible with versions 4.3 up to 6.x at this point.
You can download it at www.panframe.com and try if this is what you are looking for.
The framework supplies a UIView that you can easily add as a child and an asset class which you can connect to the view and which will take care of playing spherical panoramic content.
You can look at the interface I used.
You can use it like this dynamically for example in your UIViewController at runtime:
// initialize an PFView
PFView pfView = [PFObjectFactory viewWithFrame:[self.view bounds]];
pfView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
// set the appropriate navigation mode PFView
[pfView setNavigationMode:PF_NAVIGATION_MOTION];
// add the view to the current stack of views
[self.view addSubview:pfView];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:pfView];
And when you want to play an 360 video asset (from a file URL) you implement the following:
PFView pfAsset = [PFObjectFactory assetFromUrl:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath] observer:(PFAssetObserver*)self];
if ([pfAsset getStatus] != PF_ASSET_ERROR)
{
[pfView displayAsset:pfAsset];
[pfAsset play];
}
Update:
In case some one wants to use it in cordova apps, you can find plugin here
I found these repos useful when creating my own video 360° player:
https://github.com/hanton/HTY360Player
https://github.com/Aralekk/simple360player_iOS
https://github.com/nomtek/spherical_video_player_ios
The last one is mine, and here is it's description.
Google recently released the CardboardSDK for IOS, which supports 360 video playing.
https://developers.google.com/cardboard/ios/
I found that it is embeded player of GoPano. what they done is play video from Java script and with flex.

I'm having a few issues playing a video in MonoTouch. From what I can find there are two different approaches to take. Both result in the audio being played but no video. I'm betting I'm missing something simple so any help would be great.
Attempt one - taken from MT documentation
moviePlayer = new MPMoviePlayerController(new NSUrl("test.mp4"));
moviePlayer.Play();
Attempt two
moviePlayer = new MPMoviePlayerViewController(new NSUrl("test.mp4"));
this.PresentMoviePlayerViewController(moviePlayer);
Thanks
From looking at the documentation, you need to add the MPMoviePlayerController to a view, otherwise the video will no know where to play.
Your second attempt looks a little better, are you calling the play method on the moviePlayer (note this is a MPMoviePlayerViewController) MPMoviePlayerController (named MoviePlayer)?
For what it's worth, I can get;
moviePlayerController = new MPMoviePlayerViewController(new NSUrl("test.mp4"));
this.PresentMoviePlayerViewController(moviePlayerController);
working with no issues on a sample iPad app. Are you sure your test.mp4 is...
Encoded correctly

I want to make a book rather like The Pedlar Lady for iPad. Each page has some rich text, and then an animation with sound effects that runs automatically after the user flips to a new page.
I have some idea how I could do that programmatically - Cocos2D is looking pretty useful - but what I don't know is how I could work with my artist. What tools could he use, and what would he deliver so that I can just slot each page's animation in with minimal effort.
Your artist can deliver you assets in the form of pngs, mp3s, and movies that have already been scaled to the target device. You can build the book mostly with Interface Builder. Use AVPlayer to play animations and audio on command. Alternatively (and with more memory use) you can animate images with UIImageView. If you need to move assets around the screen, you can use timers and change the origin of each asset's view.
Edit:
MPMoviePlayer is a simple option. The view can be added more directly, but I have found this to be convenient for layout; After configuring a view in IB:
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:asset.path]];
moviePlayer.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
[moviePlayerView addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.view.frame = moviePlayerView.bounds;
Now that Apple is allowing Adobe's Flash -> App maker, you might want to look at that.
I am developing an application for IPAD and I need to play two videos one after another but can not find how. I'm using MPMoviePlayerViewController to do it and do not know how to launch a share after the first video to be played and start the second. Can someone help?
what about using MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification from documentation ?
In that method:
[..] you can also change the currently playing movie by changing the value in the contentURL property. [..]
(still from documentation)
hope it helps
Is it possible to load a short video file and - once loaded - select a specific frame and display that frame in a view? If there is no native support for this, how about an open source alternative?
Thanks in advance.

I think that in iphone programming you're stuck with the fullscreen video solution proposed by apple. You could write your own controller to do it differently, but i think it could be difficult to achieve good performances and you're cut out of the app-store for sure.
edit:
looks like in iphone sdk 3.2 apple added something for you:
The MPMoviePlayerController class
defines an interface for managing the
playback of a movie. Playback occurs
either in full-screen mode or in a
custom view that is vended by the
movie player controller. You can
incorporate the view into your own
view hierarchies or use a
MPMoviePlayerViewController object to
manage the presentation for you.
and again
Behavior in iPhone OS 3.1 and Earlier
In iPhone OS 3.1 and earlier, this
class implemented a full-screen movie
player only. After creating the movie
player and initializing it with a
single movie file, you called the play
method to present the movie. (The
definition of the play method has
since moved out of this class and into
the MPMediaPlayback protocol.) The
movie player object itself handled the
actual presentation of the movie
content.
i haven't tested it yet but have a look at the official documentation under MPMoviePlayerController Class Reference, it may help.
My boss seems to think there's a way to play audio files via a built-in QT interface that comes up with a modal UI, much like address book framework does.
Also, the mail app pops up a QT modal player to play attached audio files and then hides itself when done.
I've done a good 2 hours of research and I cannot find any pre-built UI for playing audio. I understand that I can do it via AVAudioPlayer, but that still requires I build a custom UI, which is fine, but we're looking for visual familiarity and consistency.
I just now found MPMusicPlayerController, but it appears to only play itunes media, not media from file paths.
So, is there a pre-built audio player UI?
MPMoviePlayerController can also be used to play audio files (although it's not recommended):
MPMoviePlayerController *mPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.freeaudioclips.com/music1/Sound_Effects/austinmail.wav"]];
// Show Audio player just to test it out
if (mPlayer)
{
[mPlayer play];
}
