The following code loads a Vimeo vide just fine in a webview, but the user has to click the play
button to start
VidViewController *webScrollView =
[[VidViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"VidViewController" bundle:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://player.vimeo.com/video/36120576"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
webScrollView.request = request;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:webScrollView animated:YES];
[webScrollView release];
I would like to get MPMoviePlayerController to work, but can't get the video to load.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://player.vimeo.com/video/36120576"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
initWithContentURL:audioURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player play];
}
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player autorelease];
}
There isn't much support on developer.apple

I am trying this code but it shows a still image, and not proper video streaming. However it shows the video, but only for some time.
[reykjavikurtjorn loadRequest:[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://213.167.154.114/mila/_definst_/tjornin.stream/playlist.m3u8"]]];
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"http://www.domain.com/myVideo.mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mpvc = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
mpvc.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mpvc];
and the delegate
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
if ([player respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
}
I want to play a video which is uploaded to the server from an iPad application, but when the screen loads it gives an error:
An AVPlayerItem cannot be associated with more than one instance of AVPlayer
I am using the following code:
-(void)playVideo{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://celeritas.com.pk/emrapp/test.mp4"];
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];
NSLog(#"Successfully playing thanks");
}
-(void)playbackFinishedCallback:(NSNotification *)notification{
MPMoviePlayerController *movie = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:movie];
[movie release];
}
http://celeritas.com.pk/emrapp/test.mp4 the URL seems to be wrong...
The requested URL /emrapp/test.mp4 was not found on this server.
Any way this will work
.h
MPMoviePlayerViewController * plyr;
NSURL * url;
#property (nonatomic,retain) MPMoviePlayerViewController *plyr;
#property (nonatomic,retain) NSURL *url;
.m
#synthesize plyr ;
#synthesize url;
url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"valid url"];
plyr = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
Url might be wrong double check that video url link is accessible, secondly do see your network firewall this might also cause problem.
The one tweak you can change instead of:
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
use:
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown;
try this
create object of MPMoviePlayerViewController in .h like MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp;
#import<MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[[mp moviePlayer] prepareToPlay];
[[mp moviePlayer] setUseApplicationAudioSession:NO];
[[mp moviePlayer] setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[[mp moviePlayer] setControlStyle:2];
[[mp moviePlayer] setRepeatMode:MPMovieRepeatModeOne];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
try this Code
-(IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qjh56woQMw"];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotificationobject:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
I am recording the video in my application. I am saving that video inside Documents directory. After taking the video if I try to play the video using the following code. The player opens and quits in one seconds. However if I Quit and then open my app fresh the video I took earlier is playing.
+ (void) playMovieAtURL: (NSURL*) theURL :(id)sender{
NSLog(#"playMovieAtURL");
//senderID = (id *)sender;
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] doubleValue] >= 3.2) {
NSLog(#"> 3.2");
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:theURL];
if (mp)
{
// save the movie player object
//self.moviePlayerViewController = mp;
//[mp release];
[sender presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
//mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[mp.moviePlayer play];
}
[mp release];
}
else if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] doubleValue] < 3.2) {
NSLog(#"< 3.2");
MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: theURL];
theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
// Register for the playback finished notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver: self
selector: #selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object: theMovie];
// Movie playback is asynchronous, so this method returns immediately.
[theMovie play];
[theMovie release];
}
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *aMoviePlayer = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:aMoviePlayer];
// If the moviePlayer.view was added to the view, it needs to be removed
if ([aMoviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
[aMoviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
This is the code I use for storing the video inside documents.
NSURL *videoURL = [imageInfo objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSData *webData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
self.itsVideoName = fileName;
[webData writeToFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",dataPath,fileName] atomically:TRUE];
I finally figured out the answer after few hours of searching. This is the code I am using now..
-(IBAction)playMovie:(NSString *) theURL
{
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURL];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
//After putting the following line the problem solved.
moviePlayerController.useApplicationAudioSession = NO;
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
the code moviePlayerController.useApplicationAudioSession = NO; is used to solve this problem. I am not sure how this problem solved I guess I am using session for audio I guess that was causing problem to this.
Also the code which I originally posted was taking lots of memory like if I opened 2 video it cost 104 mb allocation for me. This new code was perfect and it is taking only less memory. Hope this will help for some one..
*NSURL fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURL];
should use NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:theURL];
I would like to make an application in which, when I press a button, one video starts playing, and when it finishes or when I press "done" button it should take me to a view different from the first one where I launched the video.
Update:
This is the code I'm using but it doesn't work. I need to use MPMoviePlayerViewController instead of MPMoviePlayerController. Any idea?
NSBundle *Bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [Bundle pathForResource:#"video1" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) notification {
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer release];
// dismiss your view or present a new view here.
View1 *View1b = [[View1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
View1b.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController: View1b animated:YES];
}
Unless you need something very custom, MPMoviePlayerController will probably suit your needs. You can add it to your view or a smaller subview, and you can disable the controls for fullscreen, etc. The url can be to a local file or remove resource.
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[player view].frame = [myView bounds];
[myView addSubview: [player view]];
[player play];
Observe the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification to figure out when it is done, and from that observer's block or selected method you can dismiss your view or present a new view.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
Then
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player release];
// dismiss your view or present a new view here.
}
I have several movies that are played and presented using this code.
As you can see I also have removed the default movie controls and have added a custom overlay which essentially just stops the video.
Here is my problem... When I stop the movie with my custom overlay button, I don't seem to be getting the 'MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification'
Note: everything works normal if I let the movie play through and it stop by itself.
Is the any way of 'forcing' the PlaybackDidFinish notification?
Can I do something like this [self moviePlayBackDidFinish:something]; ?
Thank You!
