Get the current position of a played movie (MPMoviePlayerController currentPlaybackTime doesn't work)

Question

Hello,

hopefully someone has an answer - I am searching now for hours. I want to get the position of an movie.

I tried it with MPMoviePlayerController, but this class doesn't support the MPMediaPlayback property called "currentPlaybackTime". (the funny thing is, that the MP Music PlayerController has this property)

Therefore I can't get the position in my video. Is there another way to do it???

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

MPMoviePlayerController conforms to the MPMediaPlayback protocol, and does have a currentPlaybackTime property available. However, I believe that the currentPlaybackTime property was introduced in 3.2, so it may not be available to you if you're trying to develop on a pre-3.2 device.
