Question

Here is my code

-(IBAction)playvideo:(id)sender
{
NSLog(@"Get in");
    NSString *moviePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"video3" ofType:@"MOV"];
MPMoviePlayerController *movie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath]];
    NSLog(@"movie path %@",moviePath);
    NSLog(@"movie %@",movie);
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(myMovieViewFinishedCallback:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:movie];
    movie.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
    movie.shouldAutoplay = YES;
    [self.view addSubview:movie.view];
    [movie setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
    [movie play];
}

and Here is my log

2012-03-16 16:54:39.080 TestVideofile[510:11f03] Get in 2012-03-16

2012-03-16 16:54:39.304 TestVideofile[510:11f03] movie <
MPMoviePlayerController: 0x7a8ea30 >

After I click button that link with this IBAction, it turns to black page but didn’t show video or even any audio.

Could you help me please?

Answer 1

You are using ARC and the player gets released if no further references exist.

Adding it as a property to your ViewController instance keeps the instance alive as long as the ViewController is.
