Question

I want to play a video in my iPhone app. I used this code:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSURL *movieUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:
                       [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Myvideo" 
                                                       ofType:@"mp4"]];

    //create a new instance of MPMoviePlayerController
    MPMoviePlayerController* myMovie=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] 
                                      initWithContentURL:movieUrl];

    //disable scaling of our movie
    myMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeNone;

    //don't show any controls
   // myMovie.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;

    //you can specify at which time the movie should 
    //start playing (default is 0.0)
    myMovie.initialPlaybackTime = 2.0;

    //register a callback method which will be called
    //after the movie finished
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(movieFinished:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification 
                                               object:myMovie]; 

    //start the movie (asynchronous method)
    [myMovie play];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}

Only the sound works with this code. Can someone help me please?

You need to allocate a frame to your movie and add it to the view. See here.

So you can add:

[myMoview.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];  // player's frame must match parent's
[self.view addSubview:myMovie.view];
