Question

I am trying to stream some video when the user presses a row in the tableView. I am using iOS 4.2 and when I press on a row I get sound but the tableview does not push away and you can’t see the video? I am sure that this is a huge newbie mistake but… I am a newbie!!! Thanks in advance!!!

-(void)tableView: (UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

  NSString *video;
  NSString *url;

  NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
  video = [self.videoTitles objectAtIndex:row];

  if () {
    url = @"http://www.andalee.com/iPhoneVideos/mov.MOV";
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] 
        initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    [moviePlayer play];

  } else if () {
    url = @"http://www.andalee.com/iPhoneVideos/mov.MOV";
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] 
           initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    [[self view] addSubview:[moviePlayer view]];
    [moviePlayer play];

 }

 ;
 [url release];

}

For iOS 3.2+, use MPMoviePlayerViewController.

MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerController
    = [[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
        initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]]
            autorelease];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
