NSURL *url =[NSURL URLWithString:inVideosObj.video];
NSURLRequest *request =[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
connection =[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
self.responseData = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data;

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:self.responseData];
self.thumbImageView.image = image;
}
now i dont know how to use for the videos please can anyone help me with this
thanks in advance

Answer 1

self.responseData is NSMutableData but MPMoviePlayerController needs url to load the video.
So, first you have to get url-string from data.
NSString *url =[NSString stringWithUTF8String:[responseData bytes]]
MPMoviePlayerController *play = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL urlWithString:url]];
//Now present the MPMoviePlayerController

Answer 2

Try this
In setDataSource: method
-(void)setDataSource:(vedios *)inVideosObj
{
self.titile.text = inVideosObj.title;
NSURL *url =[NSURL URLWithString:inVideosObj.video];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *videoDeatilView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
//now you can present this videoDeatilView and
//[videoDeatilView.moviePlayer play]; will play the video
}
