I am building a simple & basic video app using the media player framework.
How do I hide the player control overlay in SDK4, xcode so that the user does not have access to play, pause, ff, rw, etc.?
The codes I have implemented simply do not work and either give errors or do nothing at all.
I am stumped and have not been able to find support via research. I also need to take care of a memory leak later.
I've tried:
-(IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"1960" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
moviePlayerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Video1" ofType:#"mp4"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(38, 100, 250, 163)];
moviePlayerController.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleNone;
try
yourPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
and change yourPlayer to your name of the player.

I have an iPad Master Detail project and I am trying to display html content in a web view which is called detailWebView.
I have set the content of detailItem in the Master View Controller.
self.detailViewController.detailItem=[[_topicsData
objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]
objectAtIndex: indexPath.row];
I have tried many ways to get the extracted information to display in the web view but it will not.
In configureView I have:
NSString *myString=[_detailItem objectForKey:#"url"];
NSString *myNewString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#",myString,#".html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:myNewString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.detailWebView loadRequest:request];
But nothing I try will load the content.
I know I have the correct detail for url because when I try
NSLog(#"detailItem is %#",url);
I get something like myurl.html
You need to add the code in viewDidLoad:
- (void) viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self. detailWebView.delegate = self;
NSString *myString=[_detailItem objectForKey:#"url"];
NSString *myNewString=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#",myString,#".html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:myNewString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self. detailWebView loadRequest:request];
}
I am trying to put a movie into the body of a text message from inside my app. I am using MFMessageComposeViewController to bring up the message view. I can put text into the body but I would like to put a movie. like Apple does when you select a movie in the photo library.
I have the path and name for the movie I just need to convert the url to a string so I can have the body = to it. here is my code
NSString *audioName = [pictureDictionary2 objectForKey:#"photoVideokey"];
NSArray *pathsa = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectorya = [pathsa objectAtIndex:0];
//Get a full path to the image in the documents directory.
NSString *fullPatha = [documentsDirectorya stringByAppendingPathComponent:audioName];
self.sharingImage = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPatha];
NSURL *url1 = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPatha];
NSData *videoData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url1];
//I know this isn't right and I have tried several things but can't seem to solve it.
NSString* theString = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPatha];
MFMessageComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];
if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
{
controller.body = theString;
controller.messageComposeDelegate = self;
if (controller) [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
thanks for any help anyone can give.
I think you can't because I think Apple doesn't gives such permission to a custom app to add data to a messagecomposer but you can do this with mailcomposer.
I want to play a video in the iPhone simulator. I have tried with MPMoviePlayerViewController, but its not playing. Anybody has an idea on how to do it ? If there is any good tutorial , please help me find one. Thanx.
NOTE: Question related to MPMoviePlayerViewController not MPMoviePlayerController
Just drag and drop the video file in Your Xcode project
Give the url of video in "videourl"
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:videourl];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer1 = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer1];
It will run perfectly in simulator

Assuming ARC.
You can for example call that in your viewDidLoad method and add that controller to your view using:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[theMovie play];
[self.view addSubview:theMovie.view];
[self addChildViewController:theMovie];
}
in my header file I write:
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer;
with this property:
#property(nonatomic, strong) MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer;
and in the method in which I init the moviePlayer:
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieUrl];
self.moviePlayer = player;
Use the following code
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer1 = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
initWithContentURL:yourVideoURL];
moviePlayer1.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 110);
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer1.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer1];
[moviePlayer1 play];
I took care of a memory leak related to the alloc object, however I think I have fouled up my code as now my video clip does not play. I believe that I have caused the device to release before the clip starts. Could someone help me to rearrange my code? I would be greatly appreciative of a few hints to get playback working again. Here is a sample of what I am working with.
#implementation ELECTRIC_GROOVEYViewController
-(IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"1960" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController =
[[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL]autorelease];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
moviePlayerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification
object:nil];
// no moviecontrolls
moviePlayerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
// looping forever
moviePlayerController.repeatMode= MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
You are autoreleaseing the moviePlayerController object. It has no further retention. Hence the object must be getting deallocated. Maintain a reference to it by creating an instance variable and release it after you are done with it.
I'm trying to load a plist from my main bundle and it isn't working too well. I keep geting a invalid CFStringRef which results in a nil for all the displays that I wanted.
To make this even more odd. It works perfectly in the simulator. I have attached this image to help explain.

This doesn't make any sense to me. It works in simulator, by why doesn't it work on the device?
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
imageV = [[UIImage alloc]init];
imageV = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", imageTitle]];
button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 65);
button.frame = frame; // match the button's size with the image size
[button setBackgroundImage:imageV forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(adClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self.view addSubview:button];
NSLog(#"%i %#", [self.view.subviews count], webLink);
}
in both the simulator and device the console reports that there is one subview in each view created. In the simulator the button is added and appears with its image changed. However On the Device the button does not appear with its image changed. though it says the button is there it simply doesn't appear and I can't interact with it either incase the image just wasn't setting.

I've tried cleaning the target and adding the images directly to the app folder... I got nothing. my next bet is that it has something to do with the fact that i'm loading it from a plist file or something. I did rename the ads folder and made it lower case and started pretty much from scratch. would the plist be causing the issue? is the way in which I've loaded it changing the file casing or modifying the strings?
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
adIndex = 0;
adTimer = [[NSTimer alloc]init];
ad = [[Ad alloc]init];
adsList = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
item = [[NSDictionary alloc]init];
filePath = [[NSString alloc]init];
filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Ads" ofType:#"plist"];
NSLog(#"%#", filePath);
adsList = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath]retain];
for (int i = 0; i < [adsList count]; i++) {
item = [[NSDictionary alloc]init];
item = [adsList valueForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i", i ]];
ad = [[Ad alloc] initWith:[item objectForKey:#"adImage"] Link:[item objectForKey:#"website"]];
//[ads addObject:a];
ad.view.frame = CGRectMake(320 * i, 0, 320, 65);
[adsView addSubview:ad.view];
[item release];
}
[adsView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320 * [adsList count], 65)];
adsView.pagingEnabled = YES;
adIndex = HBRandomInt([adsList count]);
[self scrollAds];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:8.0
target:self
selector:#selector(scrollAds)
userInfo:nil
repeats:YES];
//[adTimer release];
//[ad release];
//[item release];
//[adsList release];
}
EDIT: I loaded the picture elsewhere in the app and it worked fine
The simulator (Mac) isn't case sensitive. The device is. This is often what causes problems loading resources on a device that seem to work just fine in the simulator.
Don't use [[NSString alloc] init];
Try NSString *filePath = nil;
