I need your help please: how can I delete this wihte line?
NSString *AppFolderPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
NSString *MoviePath=[NSString stringWithFormat: #"/%#/%#", AppFolderPath,pathVideo];
NSLog(MoviePath);
NSURL *movieURL=[[NSURL fileURLWithPath:MoviePath]retain];
movieController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self addSubview:movieController.view];
[movieController setMovieControlMode:MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit];
[movieController setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[movieController setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
Actually I have also tried with same code. (Except that, setMovieControlMode: is removed since it was deprecated). But I 'm not getting that kind of line. Pl. try with another video.

I got this piece of code:
theMoviPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"/Resources/disc.mp4"]];
theMoviPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
theMoviPlayer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(theMoviPlayer.view.transform, CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2));
UIWindow *backgroundWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[theMoviPlayer.view setFrame:backgroundWindow.frame];
[backgroundWindow addSubview:theMoviPlayer.view];
[theMoviPlayer play];
But i really dont know how to add the video to my project. In which folder do i have to put the video file!? Or do i have to do something else to add it to my project?
EDIT:
It looks like this in xcode, is it correct?
Because i do get a playback error right now.
Previously i used an url to play this video and this worked quite well, but with this file locally not :(
Ok your bundle path looks jacked, below should work.
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"disc" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
theMoviPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
theMoviPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
theMoviPlayer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(theMoviPlayer.view.transform, CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2));
UIWindow *backgroundWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[theMoviPlayer.view setFrame:backgroundWindow.frame];
[backgroundWindow addSubview:theMoviPlayer.view];
[theMoviPlayer play];
Add MediaPlayer Framework
import it to your file
#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
Create an object of MPMoviePlayerController
MPMoviePlayerController * moviePlayer;
write this code where you wants to play video
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"spacetest.mp4" ofType:nil];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayer play];
Using HTML5 as I promised above:
NSString *videoTitle = #"disc.mp4";
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]];
NSString *playPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"<center><video width=\"640\" height=\"480\" controls><source src=\"%#\" media=\"all and (max-width:1024px)\"></video></center>",videoTitle];
[webView loadHTMLString:playPath baseURL:baseURL];
This will play in 640x480, but if you are familiar with HTML5 video tags, you can customize pretty heavily.
Since you are using MPMoviePlayerController and not UIWebView you can place your mp4 or file in your Resources and XCode/iOS will find it. Be sure that the directory/group that the file is under is yellow not blue. You don't want it to be a relative path.
Just drag the resource into your project. Copy items into destination is selected, First option of Folders is selected, and most importantly, add to target!
Ok try the code below:
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"disc" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
theMoviPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
theMoviPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
theMoviPlayer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(theMoviPlayer.view.transform, CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2));
UIWindow *backgroundWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[theMoviPlayer.view setFrame:backgroundWindow.frame];
[backgroundWindow addSubview:theMoviPlayer.view];
[theMoviPlayer play];
I am using the following code to play the video using the MPMoviePlayerController , but the video is not played. Can anyone tell me why ?
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/one.mp4"];
NSString *mediaPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle]resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:filePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:mediaPath]];
[[moviePlayer view] setFrame:[[self view] bounds]];
[[self view] addSubview: [moviePlayer view]];
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
[moviePlayer play];
It's pretty weird, but it seems to work okay if you make your MPMoviePlayerController a property instead of a local variable. Seems something is going on behind the scenes. I'm thinking it's related to ARC. Are you using ARC?
It's also an issue that you've over-appended your path:
// You've already got the full path to the documents directory here.
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/one.mp4"];
// Now you're appending the full path to the documents directory to your bundle path
NSString *mediaPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle]resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:filePath];
When I run your code in the simulator, the path looks like this:
/Users/mlong/Library/Application Support/iPhone
Simulator/5.1/Applications/8CFB9B94-BD6A-442C-A525-573FE343506D/VidoePlayer.app/Users/mlong/Library/Application Support/iPhone
Simulator/5.1/Applications/8CFB9B94-BD6A-442C-A525-573FE343506D/Documents/one.mp4
It should just be this:
/Users/mlong/Library/Application Support/iPhone
Simulator/5.1/Applications/8CFB9B94-BD6A-442C-A525-573FE343506D/Documents/one.mp4
So just delete this line:
NSString *mediaPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle]resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:filePath];
And then change your player instantiation to this:
_moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath]];
[[_moviePlayer view] setFrame:[[self view] bounds]];
[[self view] addSubview: [_moviePlayer view]];
_moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
[_moviePlayer play];
So you should add the MPMoviePlayerController as a property of your containing view controller.
All right, there is a big difference between the app bundle and the documents directory. I suggest you take a look at that.
First of all, Where is the video stored?
If your video is in the documents directory, don't append the documents directory path to the bundle path.
Just try with the filePath variable:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"/one.mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL filePath]];
However, if the file is in the app bundle (you added it to your project in XCode), you should use what is in jinx response.
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(//set rect frame)];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
moviePlayer.repeatMode = NO;
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:NO];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[self.view addsubview:movieplayer.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChange:) name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
- (void)MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
if ((moviePlayer.loadState & MPMovieLoadStatePlaythroughOK) == MPMovieLoadStatePlaythroughOK) {
//add your code
}
}
Try asking your bundle directly and not setting up the file path manually
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"name" ofType:#"mov"];
Player is initialized with the URL of the video which we want to be played (It can be either a path of local file of a device or a live URL.) after that player is added as a sub view of current view.
Supported video formats by MPMoviePlayerController class are following
.mov .mpv .3gp .mp4
I am not sure how much you this article would help you out. I am new to this. I worked on the step by step instructions provided in this article
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:mediaPath]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
hope Help it
It took me few mins to debug the problem but the answer is quite simple. Here is the deal:
If you want to MPMoviePlayerViewController to play from a web URL use this:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.test.com/anyMovie.mp4"];
And if you want MPMoviePlayerViewController to play it from App Bundle use this:
NSString *moviePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"anyMovie" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
The Rest of it goes the same, except you have to set this property "movieSourceType" as follows:
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
moviePlayerView.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[self presentViewController:moviePlayerView animated:YES completion:^{}];
For some reason the setcurrentPlayback Method does not work. Thanks for any thoughts...
-(IBAction)abspielen:(id)sender {
NSString *titleOfButton = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:titleOfButton ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *movieURL = [ NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *themovie =
[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL: movieURL];
[themovie play];
[themovie setCurrentPlaybackRate:2.f];
[themovie release];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer =
[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer release];
}
add the line
themovie.rate=2.f;
insted of [themovie setCurrentPlaybackRate:2.f]; line
may be its work....
sometime in use of HTML blog,this method not work so just try given 1 line
May be it is useful to you....

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'm trying to play a video file from the resource folder on iPhone with iOS 4.1. The MPMoviePlayerViewController displays the view but it only says "Loading Movie..." forever with the activity indicator rotating. Anyone knows the cause of this? I've tried with various video formats that are supposed to work on iPhone, same result every time.
The movie player responds to actions like showing and hiding the controls.
My code:
-(void) playVideoNamed:(NSString *)videoName
{
// I get the path like this so the user can enter extension in the filename
NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#",
[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath], videoName];
NSLog(#"Path of video file: %#", path);
RootViewController *rootController = [(DerpAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] viewController];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *vc = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
vc.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[rootController presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:vc];
[vc.moviePlayer prepareToPlay]; // Not sure about this... I've copied this code from various others that claims this works
[vc.moviePlayer play];
}
Found out the issue:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path];
Must be replaced with:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
Hard to spot that one...
I was performing the lines of code on a different thread, first dispatching to the main thread fixed it:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL: videoURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:theMovie];
});
