MPMoviePlayer controlStyle

Question

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.

Answer 1

have you tried this [videoPlayerobj setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];

Answer 2

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
                                   object:_moviePlayer];

       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                   selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDonePressed:)
                                   name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification 
                                   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];
                          }];


}

You are repeating code. MPMoviePlayerViewController has MPMoviePlayerController. So use it as movieplayervc.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
