HI,
i want to play a movie using MPMoviePlayerViewController and listen to a MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification, but it doesn´t get called. Any ideas on that?
Would be helpful to get any hints on that.. Thanks you
Here´s my code:
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[sender contentName] ofType:#"m4v"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController* moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url] ];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackComplete:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
moviePlayerController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer play];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackComplete:(NSNotification*) notification {
NSLog(#"moviePlayBackComplete complete");
MPMoviePlayerController* moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[self dismissMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
You're trying to get notifications from a MPMovePlayerViewController but I'm pretty sure only MPMoviePlayerController provides them. Try and change your notification setup
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackComplete:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController.moviePlayer];

I am trying this code but it shows a still image, and not proper video streaming. However it shows the video, but only for some time.
[reykjavikurtjorn loadRequest:[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://213.167.154.114/mila/_definst_/tjornin.stream/playlist.m3u8"]]];
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"http://www.domain.com/myVideo.mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *mpvc = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
mpvc.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mpvc];
and the delegate
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
if ([player respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
}
I am making an Iphone app which have requirement to play sound in a loop. The sound will come from HTTP links like follows:

-(void)replayVedio
{
DataClass *obj=[DataClass getInstance];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:obj.soundInfo];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleDefault];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayer play];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:player];
if(_globle==1)
{
[self replayAudio];
}
else if(_globle==2)
{
DataClass *obj=[DataClass getInstance];
obj.soundInfo=[resultArrayFinal objectAtIndex:count++];
if (count==[resultArrayFinal count])
count=0;
[self replayAudio];
}
}
Thanks.
I'm trying to get a simple video to play on an iPhone with iOS 4.3 and am running in to issues with dismissing the video player. Below is the code I have set up ... I'm listening for three different notification events to help signal when the movie player and its parent view should exit, but none of those events seem to get fired. My callback method is never invoked.
NSString* moviePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"sample1" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSLog(#"Here is the movie path: %#", moviePath);
NSURL* movieUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
NSLog(#"Will now try to play movie at the following url: %#", movieUrl);
self.mpvc = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieUrl];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:self.mpvc.moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:self.mpvc.moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:self.mpvc.moviePlayer];
[[self.mpvc moviePlayer] prepareToPlay];
[[self.mpvc moviePlayer] setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[[self.mpvc moviePlayer] setFullscreen:YES];
[self.mpvc.view setFrame: self.view.bounds]; // player's frame must match parent's
[self.view addSubview:self.mpvc.view];
Are you sure your self.mpvc.moviePlayer is a valid object which is sending the notification.
Are you sure you MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification same notification name..
Here is the sample code/example of NSNotification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(manageHistory:) name:#"historyLoaded" object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"historyLoaded"
object:nil userInfo:jsonReturn];
- (void) manageHistory: (NSNotification *) historyData{
NSDictionary* _dict = historyData.userInfo;
NSLog(#"Your information embedded to dictionary obj %#",_dict);
}
You probably did a mistake in registering the movie player callbacks. The object parameter should be self.mpvc instead of self.mpvc.moviePlayer. So try to replace your 3 lines with these:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:self.mpvc];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:self.mpvc];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification object:self.mpvc];
I would like to make an application in which, when I press a button, one video starts playing, and when it finishes or when I press "done" button it should take me to a view different from the first one where I launched the video.
Update:
This is the code I'm using but it doesn't work. I need to use MPMoviePlayerViewController instead of MPMoviePlayerController. Any idea?
NSBundle *Bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [Bundle pathForResource:#"video1" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) notification {
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer release];
// dismiss your view or present a new view here.
View1 *View1b = [[View1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
View1b.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController: View1b animated:YES];
}
Unless you need something very custom, MPMoviePlayerController will probably suit your needs. You can add it to your view or a smaller subview, and you can disable the controls for fullscreen, etc. The url can be to a local file or remove resource.
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
[player view].frame = [myView bounds];
[myView addSubview: [player view]];
[player play];
Observe the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification to figure out when it is done, and from that observer's block or selected method you can dismiss your view or present a new view.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
Then
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player release];
// dismiss your view or present a new view here.
}
here is code
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"sample_mpeg4" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
moviePlayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;
[moviePlayer play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
}
- (void) moviePlaybackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:theMovie];
[theMovie stop];
[theMovie release];
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
so my problem is my apps memory usage goes additional 3MB , it stays there even after release,does that mean memory does not get released?
Look at your code in
- (void) moviePlaybackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification
MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:theMovie];
Are you sure "theMovie" is your created "moviePlayer"? I believe they are different memory address because you didn't assign a object when you register the notification. Make sure
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
Then try it again.
