MPMoviePlayerViewController is not playing a video. - ios

Question

I am using my local router to play the video. I have configured my router and attached pendrive with my router. the pen drive have some video files. I am getting a URL (i.e http://192.168.0.1/user/root/Sample.mp4) from router . When i open this url on web browser, Video is playing perfectly fine but when try to play the same url using MPMoviePlayerViewController or AVPlayerViewController its not working.
One interesting thing i observed that if i open the same url on iphone browser its not playing.
Please help me or give me a idea why its not playing on mobile app.

Answer 1

moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
[player prepareToPlay];
player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerControll‌​er];
[moviePlayerController.moviePlayer play];
add player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming; in your code
Edited
#property (strong, nonatomic ) MPMoviePlayerController*player;
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4"];
self.player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: movieURL];
[self.player prepareToPlay];
[self.player.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 320)];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:self.player];
self.player.fullscreen = YES;
self.player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
self.player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
// player's frame must match parent's [self.view addSubview: self.movieController.view]; [self.movieController play];
[self.player play];
[self.view addSubview:self.player.view];

I had problem for playing video.I tried lot of ways but nothing helped.Then finally I went with below code.It works fine now.I use iOS 10.So I use AVPlayerViewController as MPMoviePlayerViewController is deprecated.
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <AVKit/AVKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) AVPlayerViewController *playerViewController;
- (IBAction)actionPlayVideo:(id)sender
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController (){
NSURL *vedioURL;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize playerViewController;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (IBAction)actionPlayVideo:(id)sender
{
vedioURL = #"192.168.0.1/user/root/Sample.mp4";
AVPlayerItem* playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:vedioURL];
AVPlayer* playVideo = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
playerViewController = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc] init];
playerViewController.player = playVideo;
playerViewController.player.volume = 0;
playerViewController.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view addSubview:playerViewController.view];
[playVideo play];
}
