Question

I have written this piece of objective-c code for playing a video after touching an image.

    //start video here
    NSString *path = [self localVideoPath:NO];

    // Create custom movie player   
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithPath:path] autorelease];

    [moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
        addObserver:self
        selector:@selector(onMSAASDone:)
        name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
        object:moviePlayer];

    [moviePlayer setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill];
    [moviePlayer setFullscreen:FALSE];

    //---play partial screen---
    moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 300);
    //[[moviePlayer view] setFrame: [image bounds]];

    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];

    // Show the movie player as modal
    //[self presentModalViewController:moviePlayer animated:YES];

    // Prep and play the movie
    [moviePlayer play];

The problem is that the code stops working at second line of statement. The error is… Program GDB: Received Signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”

Help Me Please!

Answer 1

 MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithPath:path] autorelease];

the function initWithPath is not the part of MPMoviePlayerController class,
i could not find it in documentation.
May be you were trying to use

- (id)initWithContentURL:(NSURL *)url

plz read the apple documentation.
