Play the video in Landscape mode iOS 7 - ios

Question

In my application, I'm trying to play video using URL from my server . I'm using the UITableView to display the video list and by tapping the Cell from the list, the video will play in sub view. Now I want to play the video in landscape mode.
This is the current video code.
_movieplayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL: [NSURL URLWithString:[self urlencode:self.strPlayUrl]]];
[[_movieplayer view] setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview: [_movieplayer view]];
[_movieplayer setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[_movieplayer prepareToPlay];
[self.movieplayer play];
In the above code, how do I make it work so that it plays in landscape mode. Please guide me on this. Been stuck on this for a long time.

Answer 1

Add this to your viewcontroller with the movieplayer
#property (nonatomic, strong) MPMoviePlayerController* mpc;
- (void)setUpMPC
{
NSURL* m = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"YourVideo" withExtension:#"mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerController* mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:m];
self.mpc = mp; // retain policy
self.mpc.shouldAutoplay = NO;
[self.mpc prepareToPlay];
self.mpc.view.frame = CGRectMake(50, 50, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height);
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

Probably you should implement the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation and supportedInterfaceOrientations methods in your viewController
#property (nonatomic, strong) MPMoviePlayerController* moviePlayerController;
#pragma mark # - Init -
- (void) createAndPlayMovieForURL: (NSURL*) movieURL
{
self.moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: movieURL];
[self.moviePlayerController.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview: self.moviePlayerController.view];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront: self.overlayView];
}
#pragma mark - Rotation -
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation) interfaceOrientation
{
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
