In so many application we can see videos are playing from the Url,we here implement that functionality in our application.
Please first define IS_IPHONE_5 macro in .pch file so you can check it it is iphone 5 then set player size according to it.
#define IS_IPHONE_5 ( fabs( ( double )[ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height - ( double )568 ) < DBL_EPSILON )
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer;
UIActivityIndicatorView *aiv;
first create playMovieButtonPressed to create activity indicator and movie player object and set frame according to iphone 5 and other and added as a subview of current view.we create notification which notifies us when movie player finished playing.
-(IBAction)playMovieButtonPressed:(id)sender{
aiv = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
aiv.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 40.0, 40.0);
aiv.center = self.view.center;
[self.view addSubview:aiv];
[aiv startAnimating];
self.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:strVideo];
self.moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
self.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[self setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];
[self.moviePlayer.view setFrame:self.view.bounds];
if( IS_IPHONE_5 )
{
[self.moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 568)];
}
else{
[self.moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
}
[self.view addSubview:self.moviePlayer.view];
//insert the video player below the aiv
[self.view insertSubview:self.moviePlayer.view belowSubview:aiv];
[self.moviePlayer play];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.moviePlayer];
}
#pragma Player methods
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self

object:player];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
if ([player

}
NSDictionary *notiUserInfo = [notification userInfo];
if (notiUserInfo != nil)
{
NSError *errorInfo = [notiUserInfo objectForKey:@"error"];
if ([[errorInfo domain] isEqualToString:@"MediaPlayerErrorDomain"])
{
}
else{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
else{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
[player stop];
player = nil;
[aiv stopAnimating];
[aiv removeFromSuperview];
}
here we set full screen mode of movieplayer,when done button pressed or becuase of error movie player stops moviePlayBackDidFinish method called.
