In my iPhone app, I am using the UIImagePickerController with source type UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera. When the user takes a picture, the phone plays the familiar camera shutter sound. How can I replace this with my own custom sound? I know it's possible because I've seen other apps from the App Store do it (e.g. Red Laser).
I am quite certain it's not possible. AFAIK, Red Laser doesn't actually take a "normal" picture but uses UIGetScreenImage() (undocumented but nevertheless allowed for App Store apps) to make a screenshot of the live video feed. Since the OS does not play sound on this occasion, they are free to play their own sound.
Edit for clarification: As of OS 3.1, you are free to substitute the standard camera interface with your own controls. So you could place your own shutter button on the screen and play your own sound when the user taps it, but AFAIK there is now way to get rid of the OS's standard shutter sound.
AFAIK the standard camera shutter sound cannot be changed via SDK.
This answer supports that. You can replace your own sound by switching sound files, but not in an app.
Some answers such as this one suggest using AVCapture, but this method takes video screenshots, which reduces the image quality. I
t appears that you can't change the shutter sound because you could make it a silent sound, and capturing images covertly is against the App Store policy. See this answer.
TLDR:
The only way to change the shutter sound is to use a video screen grab.

I came across this ans to avoid fullscreen video player in iPhone.Can we use this module to create video player custom controls.
I have using jwplayer and have own custom video controls (fast forward/backward, transcript, slow/fast, volume control, fullscreen).This controls gets hidden in iPhone and native iPhone video player is shown.
Is there any way to avoid this iphone fullscreen and still bring own custom controls.
Can this module be used for jwplayer? to bring own custom video control with jwplayer.
I have not seen that particular library in use with our player, so you're more than able to try it - but I cannot guarantee any success, nor can we provide support for its use.
With that being said, iOS 10 is slated to bring inline video playback to Safari for iPhone and the good news is our player is already set up in the way it needs to take advantage of this. Obviously, iOS 10 is in beta and not final yet so things are subject to change, but this is good news for those customers looking for inline video playback in Safari on iPhone.
I'm building an App that plays a mp3 file (hosted on http://<somewhere>/<audio>.mp3) while the user is watching some changing labels (think about a lyrics app, which write the lyrics synchronised with the song).
In the bottom side of the screen I'd like to show the audio controls (play/pause, ff, rew), and a bar for indicating the downloaded part of the file and the playing point.
How is the easiest way to do it? I've already tried with AVAudioPlayer, AVplayer and MPMoviePlayerController, but none of them solved my problem.
You can use MPVolumeView Class.Read the documentation here http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/mediaplayer/reference/MPVolumeView_Class/Reference/Reference.html

AVFoundation, how to turn off the shutter sound when captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection?
(9 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm using the Apple AVCam code with AVCamCaptureManger to capture a still image. I don't display any camera views to the user, the image is just automatically taken behind the scenes without the user's involvement. However, it still plays a shutter sound when I call [captureManger captureStillImage] and I don't want it to play a shutter sound.
There are many apps in the AppStore that "secretly" take a picture without a shutter sound, so I'm sure it's possible to somehow mute this sound. If I can't mute this sound directly, is there anyway to adjust not the volume of the phone, but the volume of my app itself (the output volume of the app)?
You have to use an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput if you want to avoid the shutter sound. Note that covertly capturing images is against App Store policy. You need to make sure you user is told in some way that your taking a picture.
When we call MPMoviePlayerController.play method, the movie player is opened and the video is played in a separate full screen. is it possible to play a video in a custom view, that is I have an image added on a view, when this image is clicked, the image has to be removed and the video has to play there itself as the feature in iPad.
Non-full screen playback of video is possible in iPhone OS 3.2 for iPad.
If you are porting an application that uses the MPMoviePlayerController class of the Media Player framework, you must change your code if you want it to run in iPhone OS 3.2. The old version of this class supports only full-screen playback using a simplified interface. The new version supports both full- and partial-screen playback and offers you more control over various aspects of the playback.
On the full-screen question, see this section of the iPad Programming Guide for further information, and this property of MPMoviePlayerController specifically.
Bear in mind that you can still only play one video at a time, and that this is only currently possible for iPad.
Not using MPMoviePlayerController, no.
You might be able to achieve this using a custom movie player, but I haven't seen one in the wild yet, and I don't know how it would be done.
