Question

I would like to remove or disable the seek forward button from the MPMediaPlayer.
I have tried to enumerate all the views but apparently I could not find this button.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

The only way I found is to add a transparent button over the seek forward button.
Here is the code:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];

    UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] init];

    if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(self.interfaceOrientation))
        [button setFrame:CGRectMake(535, 599, 90, 60)];
    else
        [button setFrame:CGRectMake(407, 855, 90, 60)];

    [button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [button setAlpha:0.7];
    [button setTag:1200];

    [self.moviePlayer.view addSubview:button];
    [button release];
}


- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(toInterfaceOrientation))
    {
        UIButton *button = (UIButton *)[self.moviePlayer.view viewWithTag:1200];
        [button setFrame:CGRectMake(535, 599, 90, 60)];
    }
    else
    {
        UIButton *button = (UIButton *)[self.moviePlayer.view viewWithTag:1200];
        [button setFrame:CGRectMake(407, 855, 90, 60)];
    }
}

This is for IPAD ONLY! If you would like to do the same on iPhone, please change the position of the transparent button.
