Also when QuickTime Player loads only Audio plays and no video is displayed?? i am using the following code

NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoFilepath ];

MPMoviePlayerViewController *movie = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(playbackFinishedCallback:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                           object:movie];

[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movie];

Answer 1

you have to add movie.view to your view

Answer 2

web = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];

NSString *urlAddress = @"HTTP://";


NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];


NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[web loadRequest:requestObj];
