Question

I am creating a application in which I can need to play a video which I do by mpmovieplayer controller .Now i nee to do this for both orientation .But the frame doesnt get set properly .

The code is as follws

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:[UIDevice currentDevice].orientation];

    NSURL *temp = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Floating" ofType:@"mp4"]];
    mpviewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:temp]; 
    mpviewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024);
    mpviewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; 
    mpviewController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile; 
    mpviewController.view.userInteractionEnabled= NO;
    mpviewController.moviePlayer.fullscreen= YES;
    mpviewController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
    [[mpviewController moviePlayer] play];

    [self.view addSubview:mpviewController.view]; 

}
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    currentOrientation = interfaceOrientation;
    //[self SetInterface];

    if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
        mpviewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024);
    else if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
        mpviewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);




    return YES;
}

I dont know where I am wrong.Please let me know for any chages to make in code. So as to get proper orientation.

First
I believe you don’t need to resize the mpviewController as it will resize it self alone.
you should only set the –

Second

In the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation you only set the supported directions in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation.

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {  
        return YES;
}

If it dose not do it you change the view properties in –

-(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{

    if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation)){
     //do what you want for portrait
     }else{
     //do what you want for landscape
    }

}
