MPMoviePlayerController with UIPopoverController - iphone

Question

I am using the MPMoviePlayerController to play a video on UIPopoverController.
When UIPopoverController dismiss video keeps on playing in background. Is there any way to stop and release MPMoviePlayer.
In my code There is FirstViewController and ViewVideoController which has function:
#implementation FirstViewController
- (void)popOverViewDisplay:(id)sender {
//if(![popoverController isPopoverVisible]){
NSLog(#"my popover....");
ViewVideoController *videoController = [[[ViewVideoController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
videoController.contentSizeForViewInPopover =CGSizeMake(550, 460);
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc]
initWithContentViewController:videoController];
popoverController.delegate = self;
[videoController release];
popViewBtnFrame = CGRectMake(299, 357, 63, 42);
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:popViewBtnFrame
inView:self.view
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny
animated:YES];
}
- (void)popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController {
if (self.popoverController != nil) {
[self.popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
//[self.popoverController release];
NSLog(#" if loop popover dismissed");
ViewVideoController *videoController = [[ViewVideoController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewVideoController" bundle:nil];
[videoController unloading];
}
NSLog(#"popover dismissed");
}
on button press player start playing in popoverController.
#implementation ViewVideoController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"AlphabetTrain" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
//player.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;
player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(75.0f, 80.0f, 400.0f, 300.0f);
[[self view] setCenter:CGPointMake( [[self view] bounds].size.width / 2, [[self view] bounds].size.height / 2)];
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
//[player release];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void)myMovieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController* player1 = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player1];
NSLog(#"stop player");
[player stop];
}
- (void)unloading { //this function called in firstviewcontroller to stop player on dismiss
NSLog(#"unloading player");
//[player endSeeking];
[self.player stop];
}
When I dismiss ViewVideoController player keeps on playing. Is there any way to stop/release player on dismiss of ViewVideoController

Answer 1

You can use delegate method
- (void)popoverControllerDidDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController {
[moviePlayer stop];
}
