I am writing an iPhone app that play streaming over http, here is my code
- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChange:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil]; //livePlayer is MPMoviePlayerController declared in header livePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString: liveStreamURL]]; livePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone; [livePlayer prepareToPlay]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerLoadStateChanged:) name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:nil]; } - (void) moviePlayerLoadStateChanged:(NSNotification*)notification { if ([livePlayer loadState] != MPMovieLoadStateUnknown) { [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:nil]; [livePlayer play]; } } -(void) moviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChange:(NSNotification*)notification { NSLog(@"playbackDidChanged"); MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = notification.object; MPMoviePlaybackState playbackState = moviePlayer.playbackState; if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped"); } else if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying"); } else if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStatePaused) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStatePaused"); } else if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateInterrupted) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStateInterrupted"); } else if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateSeekingForward) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStateSeekingForward"); } else if(playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateSeekingBackward) { NSLog(@"MPMoviePlaybackStateSeekingBackward"); } }
the method moviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChange only called once when it start to play the stream. because the network state is not good, some time it stop play and show a black screen, I want to display a UIActivityIndicateView when buffering stream, can any one tell me how to that? I am using SDK4.0
