Hi,
is there a way to attach a movie (MPMoviePlayer) within a cocos2d node vs. on top in its OpenGLView? if i attach the MPMoviePlayer like so:
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:myMPMoviePlayer];
i have layering (z depth) problems between my video and other CCSprites and also the video doesn't animate along with my scene transitions, since its sitting on top of everything.
thanks!

If you find out about this, please let me know. I want to use a video file as the background of a game. Think Rayman's Raving Rabbids the plunger levels...
I to am using an MPMoviePlayer in a cocos app and was considering how to implement it in a fashion similar to yours. I haven't read much on it yet, but would the CCUIViewWrapper classes help here?
Looks like it might work. If I get around to my other side projects, I'll try it out!

I've tried CCUIViewWrapper and it just uses the same implementation: attaching the movie to the openGLView of [CCDirector sharedDirector].
I'm still trying to find a way of integrating an .mov into a CCNode object.
Has anyone done this? Is this even possible?
Thanks!
I succesfully arranged a transparent CocosLayer on top of a MoviePlayerLayer in cocos 99.5.
1. change EAGLView pixelFormat to kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8 for transparency.
2. in CCDirerector -(void) setGLDefaultValues set glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
3. in the delegate:
[viewController.view addSubview:glView];
[viewController.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[viewController.view sendSubviewToBack:moviePlayer.view];
so you have your mov playing in the background and all normal cocos stuff on top.

}& dont forget glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); in CCDirector.m
I was having some trouble with getting this working. I found in another thread that you have to set
glView.opaque = NO;
in order for your movie view to show under the main CCDirector EAGLView (in addition to changing the default clear in CCDirector to be 0.0f alpha instead of 1.0f). Not sure if this is a recent change or not, but otherwise this didn't work for me.
edit: Did a decent write-up at stack overflow for my personal future reference as well as I hadn't seen a more beginner friendly guide around.
Background video playback is planned for CCVideoPlayer: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone-extensions/issues/5
CCVideoPlayer is compatible with cocos2d-iphone release-1.0.0-rc3 and have test/demo within cocos2d-iphone-extensions repo.
Compatible devices: iPad/iPhone/Retina/Mac.
If anyone would like to add background playback to it - send me a pull request, please.
Thanks!
Is there anyway to keep cocos2d running on top of the video? Trying it, works fine on 3gs and ipad, but in retina display , the video is ok, but cocos2d is off set.
Does anyone know how to fix it? Tried the extension also, but it seems to stop cocos2d to work, I want my game to keep running and have the video as background.
