Hi
In my application I am using MPMoviePayerController class's object to play audio(.mp3) files as well as videos(.m4v) files directly from the server. Few lines of code:--
MPMoviePlayerController *moviewPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString@"myURLGoesHere"];
moviePlayer.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[moviePlayer play];
I have a few confusions as I am using this class for the first time:--
- While playing audio when it streams, only controls that are shown on the control panel are the pause button and a message that says "streaming...". Is it the default behaviour of the MPMoviPlayerContrller?
- Is the control panel in case of audio and video differs?
- What if the connection breaks in between? Because we are not dealing with the connection if directly initializing the moviePlayer object with the url.
