Question

I am making an app that can display a preloaded file on the ios simulator. Though the display screen shows on the simulator, I can’t see the video nor hear the sound.

Here is my code.

#import "BIDViewController.h"

@implementation BIDViewController
@synthesize moviePlayer;


-(IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
                pathForResource:@"SwimGood" ofType:@"m4v"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
                                initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
//Play partial screen.

player.view.frame = CGRectMake(64, 100, 200, 150);

[self.view addSubview: player.view];
[self.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];

[player play];
}

Answer 1

I am Using like this

NSString *videoFilepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:[tempDic objectForKey:@”VideoName”] ofType:@”mov”];

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFilepath];

MPMoviePlayerController *playerViewController =[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
playerViewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(6, 5, 308, 202);

[playerViewController setContentURL:url];
playerViewController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
[playerViewController prepareToPlay];
  [self.view addSubview:[playerViewController view]];

and It’s working fine..so it might be a problem of file type. so try to use .mov

and Don’t forgot to import MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h
And Add MediaPlayer framework it not exists in your main bundle.

Best Luck…
