I am running an intro movie in a MPMoviePlayerController and i've got a problem with the allocated memory not being released.
When the movie finishes, Instruments shows the memory being released.
However when i skip the movie by tapping on it the memory is not released.
Here are the important parts of my code:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)theApplication {
self.application = theApplication;
NSString *urlStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"mymovie.mov" ofType:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[window addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
moviePlayer.view.frame = window.frame;
UIView *introFrontView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
introFrontView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
introFrontView.opaque = NO;
introTabRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(introTabFrom:)];
[introFrontView addGestureRecognizer:introTabRecognizer];
[moviePlayer.view addSubview:introFrontView];
[introFrontView release];
[introTabRecognizer release];
self.moviePlayerController = moviePlayer;
[moviePlayer release];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(introFinished:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayerController];
[self.moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)introTabFrom:(UITapGestureRecognizer*)recognizer{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayerController];
}
- (void) introFinished:(NSNotification*)notification {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayerController];
[self.moviePlayerController pause];
[self.moviePlayerController stop];
[self.moviePlayerController release];
...
}
Is there anything i forgot? To my understanding i'm posting the correct notification...
Any ideas?
You may want to register for MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification, and look at the playbackState that is passed in.

I am using the MPMoviePlayerController to open a video file.The video runs fine.But suppose if the video file is 10 sec ,with 1 sec remaining the video stops.Is that its natural way of playing or should we specify something.The follow is the code used
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:location];
self.moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayerController];
self.moviePlayerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
self.moviePlayerController.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[self.moviePlayerController prepareToPlay];
[self.moviePlayerController.view setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:self.moviePlayerController.view];
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSNumber *finishReason = [[notification userInfo] objectForKey:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey];
if ([finishReason intValue] != MPMovieFinishReasonPlaybackEnded) {
self.moviePlayerController = [notification object];
self.moviePlayerController.view.hidden = YES;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayerController];
[self.moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.moviePlayerController release];
}
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
I want to hide the controls from the MPMoviePlayer with this code:
-(IBAction)video:(id)sender {
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"Intro" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *movie = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *control = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:movie];
//[self.view addSubview: control.view];
control.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
control.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
control.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[control play];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *movieplayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:movie];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movieplayer]; }
But that does not work.
You are repeating code. MPMoviePlayerViewController has MPMoviePlayerController. So use it as movieplayervc.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
have you tried this
[videoPlayerobj setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
My player is set up in the viewDidLoad and this line hides the MPMoviePlayerController. I have intialised my MPMoviePlayer controller as *stream.
stream.view.hidden = YES;
Hope this helps!
You can play video and stop video and remove from your custom view with this code. and MPMoviePlayerController is movie player.
Hope this is useful for you.thank you
-(void)playMovie:(id)sender {
UIButton *buttonThatWasPressed = (UIButton *)sender;
buttonThatWasPressed.enabled = NO;
NSString * str=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"yo2" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL * url=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:str];
MPMoviePlayerController * movieController=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
movieController.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[movieController.view setFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:movieController.view];
[movieController prepareToPlay];
[movieController play];
_moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

object:_moviePlayer];
_moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
_moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:_moviePlayer.view];
[_moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES]; }
This method is called when your video or movie is stop from user or video playback has finish.
-(void) moviePlayBackDonePressed:(NSNotification*)notification {
[_moviePlayer stop];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:_moviePlayer];
if ([_moviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)])
{
[_moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
}
_moviePlayer=nil;
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"show" sender:self];
}];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification { // Remove observer
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
completion:^{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"show" sender:self];
}];
}
I have created TTThumbsViewController with thumbs (from json data) and when user clicks on thumb, my app must open video in new subview like this:
- (void)thumbsViewController: (TTThumbsViewController*)controller
didSelectPhoto: (id<TTPhoto>)photo
{
NSMutableArray *photoset = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[self.photoSource photos]];
Photo *selected = [photoset objectAtIndex:[photo index]];
NSLog(#"%#", [selected urlLarge]);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[selected urlLarge]];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
} else {
[moviePlayer play];
}
}
NSLog shows that thumb clicked but it open default TTPhotoViewController :( I want to disable and show only this subview.
This helps me and solve my problem
- (void)thumbsTableViewCell:(TTThumbsTableViewCell*)cell didSelectPhoto:(id<TTPhoto>)photo {
[_delegate thumbsViewController:self didSelectPhoto:photo];
}
I've gone through a bunch of other examples, but I cannot get a video to load full screen in a viewController.
I'm able to get it to load... but not launch in full screen.
The code is below. Thanks!
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Sample" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void) movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*) aNotification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [aNotification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player autorelease];
}
Edit: Full screen fixed... I just had to add: moviePlayerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
Now it adds an odd image to my status bar.. see attached photo.
I don't know what you mean by fullscreen means, but I normally see this line
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
written with bounds as an argument like this
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:self.bounds];
or
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:self.view.bounds];
depending on what type of object self is.
I have used a MPMoviePlayerController object to play a movie in my app but as soon as I call [moviePlayer play] in a function there is a small jerk and then the movie starts playing.
Edit:
This is the code that I am using.
NSString *urlStr = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:sVideoName ofType:nil];
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(lowerScroll.frame.size.width *(((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).currentPage-1), 0.0,1024.0,lowerScroll.frame.size.height);
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
moviePlayer.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
moviePlayer.view.alpha = 0;
[lowerScroll addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[self performSelector:#selector(showMovie) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.3];
- (void)showMovie {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.2];
[moviePlayer play];
moviePlayer.view.alpha = 1;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)movieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)notification {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
if (moviePlayer) {
[moviePlayer stop];
[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayer release];
moviePlayer = nil;
}
}
Could anybody please tell what could be the reason for the same and how to remove that jerk.
Thanx in advance.
