Question

I’m trying to create a component to play videos using MPMoviePlayerController. The problem is that it says that its an unknown type. Why is that? I’ve found tons of tutorials using this.

Here’s my code:

@interface HIMoviePlayer : UIViewController
{
    MPMoviePlayerController *test;
}

-(void) playVideoWithURL: (NSString *) url;
@end

Answer 1

Make sure you import the mediaplayer framework into the header file,

i.e

 #import <UIKit/UIkit.h>
 #import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
 @interface HIMoviePlayer : UIViewController
 {
 MPMoviePlayerController *test;
 }

 -(void) playVideoWithURL: (NSString *) url;
 @end

I encountered this problem also, but this should fix it.
