I am trying to show live streaming in bottom left corner of my screen,Currently live video is playing smoothly with all controls(Play, pause ,volume,full screen).But close/done button is not there.so I am not able to close live streaming window at any time I want to close it.I am using AVPlayer to achive same .Below is my code.
I have tried MPPlayer also but had same problem with that.
I had taken one close button and tried playerlayer.removefromsuperlayer but this also not worked for me.
I just want one close button which will close live streaming from my app
Please suggest any another player if they support close functionality
NSURL *videourl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"my url"];
AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videourl];
AVPlayerViewController *playerViewController = [AVPlayerViewController new];
playerViewController.player = player;
playerViewController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 400, 300, 200);
AVPlayerLayer* playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:player];
playerLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 400, 300, 200);
playerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill;
//externalPlaybackVideoGravity
playerLayer.contentsGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect;
playerViewController.showsPlaybackControls = YES;
[self addChildViewController:playerViewController];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:playerLayer];
[self.view addSubview:playerViewController.view];
playerViewController.player.muted = TRUE;
[playerViewController.player play];

I am playing a video from Url, It is playing but very slow. I am using my mobile data.
Her is the code I play the video:
self.avPlayer = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:_selectedVideo.videoLink]];
self.avPlayer.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;
videoLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:self.avPlayer];
videoLayer.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view.layer addSublayer:videoLayer];
[self.avPlayer play];
It is really slow and takes long time to start. Is there any way to make it faster?
Thanks
You can try mpmovieplayer to play video.
MPMoviePlayerController *player =
[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: myURL];
[player prepareToPlay];
[player.view setFrame: myView.bounds]; // player's frame
[myView addSubview: player.view];
// ...
[player play];
I have tried playing 500 KB videos on AVPlayer and MPMoviePlayerController, and they both have a slightly annoying delay. AVPlayer and MPMoviePlayerController both display a black screen for 2-3 seconds, and then it starts the video. Thats really annoying, how come it takes so long for the video to start? How can I fix it?
//Movie Player Code
_moviePlayerVC = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:video];
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.view.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.view.multipleTouchEnabled = YES;
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeFill;
_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer.view.frame = self.frame;
[_moviePlayerVC.moviePlayer setShouldAutoplay:YES];
_moviePlayerVC.view.frame = self.frame;
[self addSubview:_moviePlayerVC.view];
//AVPlayer Code
AVAsset *asset = [AVAsset assetWithURL:video];
AVPlayerItem *item = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithAsset:asset];
_player = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:item];
_player.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;
AVPlayerLayer *layer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:_player];
layer.frame = self.frame;
layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
[layer setVideoGravity:AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill];
You could preload an AVPlayer and observe its status. Once it changes AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay you should be able to start playback without any delay.
I am trying to play a video from url and the only thing i am getting is a black screen and a loading wheel?
I have a XML/JSON from witch i need somehow to play the video,
I tried with all 3 links i have there and no response
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:#"http://rutube.ru/play/embed/7224398"];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x , self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES];
[moviePlayer setShouldAutoplay:YES];
Is there a chanse to start this video using MPMoviePlayerController ??
P.S: I managed to load the video in a WebView but its not what i need.
You have to extract direct link to .mp4 file somehow.
Check this article.
i'm using AVPlayer in my apps instead MPMoviePlayerController since i want to put the player as sublayer.
However i need control like play, pause, search, and full screen. How do i get that button in AVPlayer?
This is how i put the player:
AVURLAsset *avasset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:URL1 options:nil];
AVPlayerItem *item = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithAsset:avasset];
player = [[[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:item]retain];
playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:player];
CGSize size = self.view.bounds.size;
float x = size.width/2.0-187.0;
float y = size.height/2.0 - 125.0;
playerLayer.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, 474, 320);
[playerLayer setVideoGravity:AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:playerLayer];
[player play];
You'll have to provide your own buttons.
For play and pause there are direct API's in AVPlayer.
For full screen… well… you know where you are drawing: you just need to size your UIWindow and corresponding UIView & layer to be full size.
For search, you do have methods like seekToTime:
For future reference iOS 8 AVKit has the AVPlayerViewController class available that will wrap a AVPlayer and has the standard MPMoviePlayerController class controls.
AVPlayerViewController
AVPlayerViewController * filePlayerViewController = [AVPlayerViewController alloc];
//Show the controls
filePlayerViewController.showsPlaybackControls = true;
AVPlayer * filePlayer = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:self.videoFile.localURL]];
filePlayerViewController.player = self.filePlayer;
I am currently trying to play a youtube video in iPad but device only display blank screen.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL* videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.youtube.com/......."];
MPMoviePlayerController * moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayer play];
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(50, 200, (self.view.frame.size.width)-100 , 400)];
moviePlayer.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
}
This will just display a blank gray screen,But if i try to play any locally stored video file then i can able to play by MPMoviePlayerController.So what is the best way to play a youtube video in iPad.
