I am trying to play some music files on iPhone but after playing some files application getting crashed. It's random in nature and I am not getting any particular scenario can any one help me out on this?
My Code :
[player stop];
player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",crr_PlayFile] ofType:#""]] error:nil];
[player setDelegate:self];
[player prepareToPlay];
[player play];
Is there any problem in my code.
Try to
[player release];
player = nil;
after your [player stop] call.

I'm trying to play an MP4 file with the MPMoviePlayerController (also tried two m4v files, same problem), and finally got the video player to come up, but it just stays loading. Here's my code, executed on a button press:
NSString *videoFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"attn8" ofType:#"mp4" inDirectory:#""];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFile isDirectory:NO];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
//put on a whim from another answer, made no difference
[self.view addSubview:[player view]];
player.fullscreen = true;
[player prepareToPlay];
[player play];
I need to play audio automatically after open the view and have one button to control play/pause event. I heard that it has a prepareToPlay to control the audio by button but it cannot play audio automatically.
Here is my code:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"track8"
ofType:#"mp3"]];
NSError *error;
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
and in the button:
-(IBAction)playPauseButtonPress:(id)sender{
if (self.isPlaying) {
[self.audioPlayer pause];
self.isPlaying = NO;
}else {
[self.audioPlayer play];
self.isPlaying = YES;
}
}
Is it possible to autoplay audio and play/pause with button? How?
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"track8"
ofType:#"mp3"]];
NSError *error;
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
There is method play is available for playing it. You just need to add following line:
[audioPlayer play];
Please check the AVAudioPlayer documentation
play >
Calling this method implicitly calls the prepareToPlay method if the audio player is not already prepared to play.
prepareToPlay > Calling this method preloads buffers and acquires the audio hardware needed for playback, which minimizes the lag between calling the play method and the start of sound output.Calling the stop method, or allowing a sound to finish playing, undoes this setup.
There is nothing like you can't pause the audio if you use play instead of prepareToPlay.
Hope this helps
Am working on an iPad/iPhone App & am playing a background music with this code snippet which I call in the Delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:
-(void) playMusic {
NSLog(#"play music!");
NSString *sound_file;
if ((sound_file = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"musicfile" ofType:#"mp3"])){
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:sound_file];
self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:NULL];
self.audioPlayer.delegate = self;
[self.audioPlayer setNumberOfLoops:-1]; // Infinite loop
[self.audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
[self.audioPlayer setVolume:0.2];
[self.audioPlayer play];
} else {
NSLog(#"WARN : music file not found!");
}
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil];
}
But I see that this method alone is taking 0.43 seconds on an average, which is a lot! Am I doing it the right way? Or is there a faster way to start the music play ? Please help.
My environment : iOS5, XCode 4.3, iPad 2.0 is what I tested this with now
I would like to get an audio stream from URL and play it on iPhone. Unfortunately, there is only C# example of how to play that stream, but I need a realization on Objective C in iPhone frameworks. I have tried my self to use different audio frameworks but it was all unsuccessful. This is what in C#:
response = httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
using (SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(stream))
{
player.PlaySync();
}
}
What should I do in objective C to get a stream audio from that url? In that URL I don't have an mp3 file or something, I just get a stream. Probably I must somehow download that stream to an iPhone audio file and then play it to get rid of lags.
I tried this:
AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url];
[player play];
And this:
AVAudioPlayer *theAudio = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: url error:nil];
[theAudio setVolume :0.50]; //setting the volume
[theAudio play];
Neither worked.
I have tested my url, it works well in browser.
This is the code that worked:
NSData *_objectData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSError *error;
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:_objectData error:&error];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
audioPlayer.volume = 1.0f;
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
if (audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"%#", [error description]);
else
[audioPlayer play];
NSString* resourcePath = url; //your url
NSData *_objectData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:resourcePath]];
NSError *error;
app.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:_objectData error:&error];
app.audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = 0;
app.audioPlayer.volume = 1.0f;
[app.audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
if (app.audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"%#", [error description]);
else
[app.audioPlayer play];
Hey I faced this problem of audio streaming for a radio application. I had searched for the answers and they did not work. AVAudioPlayer is not the class to be used here. Downloading the contents of URL using NSData object is not the solution either as it downloads the contents then the code further executes. It is similar to downloading a mp3 and then playing it locally on a player.
[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:resourcePath]]; //Downloads the contents of the url and in case of radio the url's content is unlimited. The program gets frozen on executing this.
Instead use AVPlayer class.
This code worked in my radio application
AVPlayer *objAVPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithURL:url];
[objAVPlayer play];
This code does not download the contents at the url but it plays the stream as it is received.
Look into the AVPlayer class, part of the AVFoundation framework... this is the objective-c (iOS) class you use for streaming audio.
MPMoviePlayerController *player;
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init] ;
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0);
player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
player.view.hidden = YES;
[self.view addSubview: [wikiMusicPlayer view]];
NSString *address = Your URL;
address = [address stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:address];
[wikiMusicPlayer setContentURL:url];
[wikiMusicPlayer prepareToPlay];
[wikiMusicPlayer setShouldAutoplay: NO];
[wikiMusicPlayer play];
We want to create an application that downloads a mp3 file and then starts to play it.
Has anyone an idea of how to download the mp3 file from an url and then store it, either on the iphone or in the application (depending on what is possible).
Add the following import statement to your header:
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
In your implementation somewhere:
NSError *error;
NSData *_objectData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://xyz/abc.mp3"]];
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:_objectData error:&error];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1;
audioPlayer.delegate = self;
audioPlayer.volume = 1.0f;
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
if (audioPlayer == nil)
NSLog(#"%#", [error description]);
else
[audioPlayer play];
Don't forget to release the player at some point:
[audioPlayer release];
dirt simple, on a thread:
myMP3 = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://..."]];
slightly less simple, but with more options:
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://..."]] delegate:self];
Or just play it directly:
[[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://..."] error:nil] play];
Edit: the above snippet would leak. You should store the created AVAudioPlayer instance in a member and release it when the audio finishes playing or you are otherwise done with it. I do not know off hand if releasing a playing AVAudioPlayer stops the audio.
