Playing a video to start the application xcode - xcode

Playing a video to start the application
I have this code, I can't see the video and I can hear the audio.
Could anyone explain why ?
-(void)awakeFromNib
{
NSURL *url2 = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"tecnolitevideo_1" ofType:#"mov"]];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
initWithContentURL:url2];
[moviePlayer presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer.moviePlayer play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerPlaybackStateChanged:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}
-(void)moviePlayerPlaybackStateChanged:(NSNotification *)notification {
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
NSURL* url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"3" withExtension:#"mov"];
m_player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[m_player.backgroundView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[m_player.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[m_player setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
[[m_player view] setFrame:[self.view bounds]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];
[m_player play];
[self.view addSubview:[m_player view]];
}
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)_notification
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:nil];
[m_player.view removeFromSuperview];
[m_player stop];
m_player = nil;
}
I am try this and works fine!!!

NSNotification EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Here is the error I am getting
Thread 1:EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0xb7ffffc)
On this line
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:AsyncImageLoadDidFinish
object:target
userInfo:[[userInfo copy] autorelease]];
In the AsyncImageView.m file.
The error stops the code but if I continue in debugger it freezes Xcode and shuts it down. How can I fix this issue?
In init you need to register, and in dealloc you need to un register!
-(void)dealloc
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:AsyncImageLoadDidFinish object:nil];
OR
- (void)dealloc
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}
Try the code below, it should be okay:
NSDictionary * userInfo = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:..., nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:AsyncImageLoadDidFinish
object:target
userInfo:userInfo];
or:
NSDictionary * userInfo = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:..., nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:AsyncImageLoadDidFinish
object:target
userInfo:userInfo];
[userInfo release];

mpmovieplayercontroller disappears as soon as it starts

When I click “play movie” the mpmovieplayer presents itself for half a second and I see it’s loading movie and the controls are there, but then it returns to main screen without playing the video.
How do I fix this?
Edit:
I have changed code and now the player stays up but is stuck on loading, it doesn’t play movie.
IS the problem: not preparing the movie for play? Or not stopping movie in background and then restarting it?

View video in Landscape mode

I have a video in my application, but it's in portrait. I want to display it in landscape mode, but I don't have any idea how to do that.
I used this code to make my video:
- (IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"BAZO" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
//Uncomment om beeld formaat aan te passen
//moviePlayerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (IBAction)playSecondMovie:(id)sender
{
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"00 01. Welcome" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
//Uncomment om beeld formaat aan te passen
//moviePlayerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[moviePlayerController play];
}
- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
[moviePlayerController release];
}
-(void) tableView: (UITableView*) tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*) indexPath
{
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"BAZO" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
//Uncomment om beeld formaat aan te passen
//moviePlayerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
[moviePlayerController play];
/*-(void)loadVideo:(NSString *)name ofType:(NSString *)type{
NSURL *url=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[mainBundle pathForResource:#"BAZO" ofType:#"m4V"]]
if (!mp) mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[mp play];
}*/
}
Maybe somebody can give me a hint or a method so I can put this to landscape?
I used this code:
[MPMoviePlayerController setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft animated:NO];
but it gives me the warning :
MPMoviePlayerController may not respond to -setOrientation:animated:
What's happening?
Had this problem as well,
I was running it in the appDelegate file, which meant I had to force the window to change to landscape so if the original is like this:
-(void)playMovie {
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"intro"
ofType:#"m4v"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(movieFinishedCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
[player setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[player setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
[window addSubview:player.view];
[window bringSubviewToFront:player.view];
[player setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[player setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
[player play];
}
all that is needed is to add these lines:
[window setBounds:CGRectMake( 0, 0, 480, 320)];
[window setCenter:CGPointMake(160, 240];
[window setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/ 2)];
before the [player play], and at the movie finish call, add
struct CGRect rect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
rect.origin.x = rect.origin.y = 0.0f;
window =[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
to reset the view.
Not sure if it's the right way to do it, but it was the only thing worked for me.
Use MPMoviePlayerViewController instead of MPMoviePlayerController. It will handle orientation, control style, etc. I referred this answer for the same.
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playerView = [[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL] autorelease];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playerView];
and in the AppDelegate.m, declare the following function which will restrict the orientation to portrait in all cases and will only change when a video is playing
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
if ([[self.window.rootViewController presentedViewController] isKindOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]])
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
else
{
//NSLog(#"orientation should change");
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
}
