I have a UIWebView within my application that is playing video correctly in iOS 4 but not playing in iOS 5. These are my video link.
1) http://myserverpath/mov015.3gp
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:self.selectedVideoUrl];
NSURLRequest *req = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:req];
I also tried this but it also not worked.
player =[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[[player view] setFrame: [self.view bounds]];
[self.view addSubview: [player view]];
[player play];
Please help me.
.3gp extension file is not supported by ios 5 web view. I have created another video with .mov extension and that works.

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 trying to play an mp4 video under iPhone Simulator 5.1 using some sample code from Xcode. I created both MPMovieViewController and MPMovieController, supply a local path which contains the mp4 and add it as subview to my root controller.
When I run it under iPhone Simulator, only back screen shown. I've tried a couple of suggestions of the same problem in SO but still it doesn't work.
Here's the code:
NSURL *myURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"VIDEO_CX75_01" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:myURL];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: myURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];
[player.view setFrame: self.view.bounds]; // player's frame must match parent's
[self.view addSubview: player.view];
player.view.frame = self.view.frame;
player.initialPlaybackTime = -1.0;
[player prepareToPlay];
[player play];
Where I am doing it wrong?
PS: I am on Xcode 4.3.2
I had the same problem, and I what I did was made player a strong property and synthesize it. It worked.
Should work in your case as well.!
Decide and use either MPMoviePlayerViewController or MPMoviePlayerController but not both.
NSURL *myURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"VIDEO_CX75_01" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:myURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];
or
NSURL *myURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"VIDEO_CX75_01" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: myURL];
player.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
player.initialPlaybackTime = -1.0;
[player prepareToPlay];
[player play];
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];
I'm using a UIWebView to display YouTube videos. It works fine on iOS 4+ but doesn't work on the iPad (iOS 3.2). The UIWebView loads as expected and displays the thumbnail of the video. When I tap on the thumbnail I see a gray quicktime icon and can hear sound but no video appears.
This is the code I'm using:
UIWebView* webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0,0,320,480)];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://url.to.video/"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
VideoPlayerController* videoController = [[VideoPlayerController alloc] init];
[[videoController view] addSubview:webView];
UINavigationController* theNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:videoController];
[self presentModalViewController:theNavController animated:YES];
[videoController release];
[theNavController release];
[webView release];
This is a bug with iOS 3.2 on the iPad. It will (hopefully) be fixed when iOS 4.2 is released in November.
