MPMoviePlayerViewController Subview - ios

Question

I have a view within my view controller and have it declared as a property _movieSubview. I add a MPMoviePlayerViewController to _movieSubview and the video plays nicely.
-(void)moviePlay{
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"High Rope" ofType:#"mov"]];
_playerController=[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
//[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:_playerController];
_playerController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[_playerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
_playerController.moviePlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
_playerController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
_playerController.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
[_playerController.moviePlayer play];
/*[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayerDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:_playerController];*/
//---play partial screen---
_playerController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460);
[_movieSubview addSubview:_playerController.view];
}
- (void)moviePlayerDidFinish:(NSNotification *)note
{
if (note.object == _playerController) {
NSInteger reason = [[note.userInfo objectForKey:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey] integerValue];
if (reason == MPMovieFinishReasonPlaybackEnded)
{
[_playerController.moviePlayer play];
}
}
}
My 2 questions are:
My status bar disappears when I add the MPMoviePlayerViewController inside my subview. How do I keep the status bar?
How can I have the video play twice on repeat, then wait for user to play after that?

Answer 1

You should present _playerController instead of adding as subview. Use this code while creating the instance of MPMoviePlayer:
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[notificationCenter addObserver:self selector:#selector(moviePlayerEvent:) name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:moviePlayer];
[notificationCenter addObserver:self selector:#selector(playBackStateChanged:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:moviePlayer];
-(void)moviePlayerEvent:(NSNotification*)aNotification{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:NO];
}
-(void)playBackStateChanged:(id)sender{
MPMoviePlaybackState playbackState = [moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer playbackState];
switch (playbackState) {
case MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped :
//play again
NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[notificationCenter removeObserver:self];
break;
case MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying :
break;
case MPMoviePlaybackStateInterrupted :
break;
}
}
