i need to play songs from my music library in the background , while playing video..
Both audio and video will play at the same time... first i tried using mpmusicplayercontroller to play music , but when i play video , its stops playing song in background. after that i tried to play music using audiotoolbox."Audio Queues". now i can play audio and video at the same time ,but the song i am playing is static. i want to play song from ipod library and i need to provide the file path there, so is there any way to get the library song path? or any other idea? please suggest..!
While it may be possible, Apple doesn't want you to know how. They don't want people to be able to programmatically access the song data. It can lead to music sharing, which Apple tries not to make easy.
Maybe the way to do this is to have your videos be the thing that is static and get your songs through MPMusicPlayer. Of course, you'll have to play them with a different mechanism than MPMediaPlayer.

My app is a calling app and I want to play a mp3 file during the call (call in my app not the iphone voice call). AvAudioPlayer play return YES so it means sound is played but I do not hear the sound played.
the mp3 file I want to play is a simple small beep sound which I want to play to inform the caller during the call.
Any idea why I can not hear the sound or is there a way for this.
thanks a lot.
Im building an app that allows the user to record a video (in app) by pressing a button on the main screen. I don't want the user to be taken to the photo app because the video will only be able to be viewed on the app (Max of 15 seconds) and I can't quite get it. Anyone have the code to do this? A good example of what i want the camera to do is the camera in the app Cinemagram. Thanks for any help.
If you plan on saving the movie to the user's photo library, then you can use UIImagePickerController. In particular, you should read the guide that accompanies the class.
However, if you only want the video to be temporary, then you will probably want to use AVFoundation. You would then need to configure an AVCaptureSession with an AVCaptureMovieFileOutput to write the video to disk. Then, when you are ready to play the video, create an AVURLAsset with the file url that you just wrote, use that to create an AVPlayer to play the video, and add an AVPlayerLayer to your view, with said player, to display the video.
Either way, I would recommend studying the examples that Apple provides.
AVCam and
AVPlayerDemo should be more than enough to get you started (especially the AVCam example project).
I am using AVPlayer to play two songs simultaneously.
I want to play song on Speaker and before playing i want to check it in headphones only(another song will be playing at the same time in speakers) then i want to play on speakers.Its like prelistening of a song before routing it to Speakers.
Is it Possible on iOS..?
I'd say this would only be possible by used private APIS (if at all) once the iPhone has headphones plugged in everything is routed to it so you'd be trying to change a low-level setting.
I have implement an application.In which there is list of videos.when user touch on the video then video play in MPMoviePlayer.But when video is finished then i want to play another video automatically.Is it possible?
Yes. Do you want it to play another one randomly? You could do that. Or do you have an NSArray that contains all the different MPMoviePlayer URLs to play in order? If you do, then loop through the array objects and play each. You will have to have a MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification to know when each videos finish so you can start the next one.
I need to use AVAudioPlayer and MPMoviePlayerController simultaneously i.e play a movie while the background loop is playing is it possible.
My bg music loop stops working when a movie starts playing , so I tried to stop the bg music loop and start the movie and when movie stops, start playing the bg loop again but this is also is not working.
In fact it is achievable from 3.x onwards. I had once done this in one of my applications and its got nothing to do with any backgrounding or any other new iOS features. You just need to configure the audio sessions properly. If you make sure that both your audio player as well as the video player are using the ambient audio session it is possible.
Prior to starting your AVAudioPlayer to play, set the category of audio session to AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient. This is the system wide common audio session. This allows other sounds to play along such as the sound from the iPod application.
In case you are using the MPMoviePlayerController from iOS 3.2 or above make sure you set the useApplicationAudioSession to NO. This ensures other sounds to play along. It is the default in earlier versions of iOS.
There is a limitation in the current iPhone SDK (2.x and 3.x) that does not allow any background audio playing while a movie is playing in the MPMoviePlayerController API. Unfortunately, it is not possible to do what you are asking at this time within the iPhone SDK.
I would suggest logging an enhancement request to Apple to offer this in a future version of the SDK.
