I'm going crazy with it!

I have a app that uses cocos2d 0.99.4 and the last Xcode3.2.3
Base SDK is set to 4.0 and target 3.0 with iphone/ipad

I want to reproduce a full screen video with no controls and my own overlay ccbutton to skip it. should be easy right?
The main problem is that the API's for 3.2 of higher is totally different than 3.0 and i don't know how to proced to have only one code.

This is my code

if ([MPMoviePlayerController respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundView:)]) {
		MPMoviePlayerViewController *mpv= [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:
		 [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"intro1" ofType:@"m4v"]]];
		mpv.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
		mpv.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;

		[[[mpv moviePlayer] backgroundView] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
		[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:mpv.view];
		[[mpv moviePlayer] play];
	}
	else {
		MPMoviePlayerController *mp=
		mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:
										  [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"intro1" ofType:@"m4v"]]];
		mp.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
		[mp setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
		[mp setMovieControlMode:MPMovieControlModeHidden];
		[mp play];
	}

Here's some code that works for me.

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:introVideoFileName ofType:@""]];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];

// Register to receive a notification when the movie has finished playing.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
										 selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
											 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
										   object:moviePlayer];

if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
	// Use the new 3.2 style API
	moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
	moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
	// This does blows up in cocos2d, so we'll resize manually
	// [moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
	[moviePlayer.view setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation((float)M_PI_2)];
	CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
	moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, winSize.height, winSize.width);	// width and height are swapped after rotation
	[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
} else {
	// Use the old 2.0 style API
	moviePlayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;
	[moviePlayer play];
}

- (void)moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
	MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [notification object];
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                                    name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                                  object:moviePlayer];

	// If the moviePlayer.view was added to the openGL view, it needs to be removed
	if ([moviePlayer respondsToSelector:@selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]) {
		[moviePlayer.view removeFromSuperview];
	}

	[moviePlayer release];
}

Good tip @nickdalton

Sorry to jump in with a tangential request. But when you are testing does the video work for you in the simulator? Also what do you use to create your videos so they play on the device?

Really thanks NickDalton.

The code works great!! I'm a happy man today jejeje

@CJ: Yes, the videos work fine in the simulator and i'm using flash and exporting to m4v (it's a animated intro)

Thanks. It actually started working in the simulator and 3.1/4.0 devices after I switched to nick's code. I guess it was always working (even when I was trying many different compression options), but it just wasn't on the screen because the frame was off.

Typically my clients create the video files, and they use a wide variety of tools. I point them to this page for the exact format specs. When I need to create video files myself I just use QuickTime Pro (pre Snow Leopard version).

I have found that getting the format slightly wrong will lead to the file not playing, or playing with sound but not video, or vice-versa. There are also differences in what is tolerated by the simulator and the device, and more recently between iOS 3.x and 4.0.

So in summary the process comes down to trial and error, and lots of testing. :)

Anyone have trouble with:

[moviePlayer release];

My apps crash with that line in there, but they're functional without it - but likely leaking. Thoughts?

I have tried Nick's code as well with and without [moviePlayer release]; and it runs fine on the 4.0 simulator in xCode 3.2.3 but when I build and run on an iPhone 4 device it gets to the loading screen and it crashes with this error:

This is coming from a total noob, so please bear with the query.

I just picked up NickDalton's code and stuck the first part in the init of HelloWorld Scene and the second function as it is. Needless to say Im getting some referencing errors.

Could someone please explain where should I use the above code?

Oh alright, hadnt included the framework :-P..But the problem is, while it runs fine on the simulator, it dosent run on the device. The app dosent crash but its just a blank screen displaying the fps..any ideas?

This line is deprecated:

moviePlayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;

Anyone knows how to hide controls in older sdks without using deprecated methods?

Thanks.
