Play Video In MPMoviePlayerController - iphone

Question

I am having issues getting an embedded video file to play using MPMoviePlayerController. My code:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *proud = [[documentsDirectoryPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"archives"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:selectedCountry];
NSString *content = [proud stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:content] retain];
NSLog(#"%#", url);
player =
[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[player prepareToPlay];
player.allowsAirPlay = YES;
player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
player.view.frame = self.view.frame;
[self.view addSubview: player.view];
[player setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
// ...
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(exitedFullscreen:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:player];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayerWillExitFullscreen:)
name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification
object:player];
[player play];
The NSLog returns
var/mobile/Applications/EF62B00B-2906-435C-BC84-036FE14D89E9/Documents/archives/Test%2520-%2520Daddy%2520May%25201%252001:26:35%2520PM.mp4
But the video never plays, though MovieDone does get triggered from the log I use in MPMoviePlayerController MovieFinished Callback. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

i think you play only video file then try this code :
NSString *urlStr=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"Video1VoiceOver.mp4" ofType:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(174,154,720,428);
[moviePlayer play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];

Try this
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerViewController =[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"FileName"]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:[playerViewController moviePlayer]];
playerViewController.view.frame=CGRectMake(Set the frame);
[self.view addSubview:playerViewController.view];
//---play movie---
player = [playerViewController moviePlayer];
