I have a media streaming code like below for playing streaming video. I want to test it with some working streaming url feed on iOS 4 devices. Could someone provide me the exact sample streaming video feed if anything is available for iPhone supported? So that, i can test this code and make sure it works well, though it could be correct. I want a real streaming video url link.
NSString *strUrl = #"http://????????????"
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:strUrl];
MPMoviePlayerController *mPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
mPlayer.view.frame = self.view.frame;
[self.view addSubview:mPlayer.view];
[mPlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[mPlayer play];
Thanks.
I don't have a URL for you, but your code looks correct, except that you should turn auto-play off before setting full screen with animation. In my experience, the app could crash on setFullscreen:animated: if you use the player more than once. You might also want to observe the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification notification in case of playback error so that you can inform the user that there was a playback error.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:strUrl];
MPMoviePlayerController *mPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url]; mPlayer.view.frame = self.view.frame;
mPlayer.shouldAutoplay = NO;
[self.view addSubview:mPlayer.view];
[mPlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[mPlayer play];
You can use below urls for testing purpose,

I have not tested it, but it should work well...

I am creating video based ios application.I am using MPMoviePlayerController for playing video. It is working correctly for local video files but I am not able to play the video for the server link please give me some idea
Here is my code
MPMoviePlayerController * player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:imageName];
player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
[player setContentURL:url];

if you want using a MPMoviePlayerController implement that server links or streaming.
refer a this sample code. Will help you a lot: MoviePlayer
i want to play a short video as soon as the application launches. It's a short video and a light application so i do not expect any serious delays. However my problem is that although my code works fine wheni test it as an IBAction, it doesn't work when i paste it anywhere else like ViewDidLoad, awakeFromNib, ApplicationDidFinishedLaunching. I am searching all day long for tutorials that work in Xcode 4.2 (ARC enabled) but i couldn't find anything that worked.
Here is my code:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"testmovie" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playercontroller = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playercontroller];
playercontroller.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
//playercontroller.movieControlMode=MPMovieControlModeHidden;
[playercontroller.moviePlayer play];
playercontroller = nil;
If anybody can provide a tutorial or sample code, i would be extremly grateful!
Thanks in advance.
take out movie player and just use
[playercontroller play];
if it needs releasing do so as well

The native iOS MPMoviePlayerController also supports streaming.
There's plenty of information about it on Google and particularly on Apple's Multimedia Programming Guide
As Hagai said,
You can play the lie streaming using MPMoviePlayerController
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"LIVE STREAM LINK"]];
// video player
MPMoviePlayerController *playerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
playerViewController.contentURL = url;
playerViewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480);
[self.view addSubview:playerViewController.view];
[playerViewController play];
Thats all you need to perform
How do I add a video to an iPhone app. using iPhone SDK 3.2.5?
I dont see the actual video but I can hear it playing.
Here is the code:
-(void) viewDidLoad{
NSBundle *bundle=[NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"Facebook" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *movieURL=[[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[theMovie play];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
First off – find out what video format you are having. I assume it's not the one supported by iPhones.
So when you learn this you can go ahead and look for a third party player that is able to play back your video. I'm sure there are a lot of them there. Recommendation from me – try using VLC.
If you want to use default videos app on your iPhone (which, of course, is way better than any other alternative) you can try out Windows & Mac application WALTR 2: https://softorino.com/waltr/windows-guides/how-transfer-videos-to-iphone-without-itunes. It adapts any video & music for iPhone playback and pushes them to your default app on an iPhone.
You need to set the frame for you MPMoviePlayerController and add it to your view:
theMovie.view.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 480.0);
[self.view addSubview:theMovie.view];
