I am using MPMoviePlayerController to play .mp4 file, while I'm testing .mp4 recorded in windows platform its working fine, however .mp4 recorded using Android is not playing in my iOS device(iPod touch), Player keeps on buffering it.. Any Idea what could be the problem? And please help me, how to debug the issue in MPMoviePlayerController.
NSURL *file_url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
initWithContentURL:file_url];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
// moviePlayer.useApplicationAudioSession = YES;

[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];

I have found the problem, iOS not supporting the audio format, which is recorded in Android. Now I recorded using AAC it is playing fine.
I have a requirement to split a 5 sec video to images /frames from my iphone.
Is it possible using objective C.Any libraries available for this?
Help is highly appreciable.
Thanks,
there are many ways by which you can get images from a video. Some of them are :-
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:url];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
UIImage *thumbnail = [player thumbnailImageAtTime:1.0 timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame];
//Player autoplays audio on init
[player stop];
[player release];

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
I am trying to play an mp4 after detecting a signal in the audio jack.
The video is playing once, after a delay of 1 sec which i dont want, and then application is freezing and i get this warning on the debugger: (only on the iphone, its working on simulation)
(8F190)/Symbols/System/Library/VideoDecoders/H264H4.videodecoder (file not found).
(8F190)/Symbols/System/Library/VideoDecoders/MP4VH4.videodecoder (file not found).
my code for the video is this :
//play video1
url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"sample1" ofType:#"mp4"]];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
moviePlayer.useApplicationAudioSession=NO;
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
[moviePlayer setMovieControlMode:MPMovieControlModeHidden];
moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480);
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer play];
I couldnt find anything on this warning on the net.
I have tried any kind of video encoding,according to the Apple docs.
We just cant play movies, does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
thanks .
If you run that code twice, the video won't play the second time, because you are creating a second MPMoviePlayerController and a second view, and only one MPMoviePlayerController view in your app can play video. So it works the first time but not the second time. You should be retaining your MPMovieVideoController in a property so that you can remove its view and release the MPMovieVideoController before trying to make a new one.
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...
