-(IBAction)playMovie:(NSString *) theURL 
{
    NSURL    *fileURL    =   [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theURL];
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                             selector:@selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                               object:moviePlayerController];

    moviePlayerController.useApplicationAudioSession = NO;
    moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
    [moviePlayerController play];
}

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

    [moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
    [moviePlayerController release];
}

To Make the Video capable of streaming

  1. Video should be of .mp4 format.
  2. All videos should be converted using the Miro Video Converter in Mac (Or similar converters) and make it compatible to play in iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Converted videos will play in mobile devices. However, the video will play only after the full video is downloaded from the server.
  3. To make the video streaming, the video's metadata has to be moved to the beginning of the video. To achieve this, we have to use a tool called Medadata mover to encode the video.
  4. Then the final video is compatible of streaming and able to play in all mobile devices. Then the video have to be FTP'ed to the desired web hosting. for example demo.com/videos/test.mp4.
  5. Then the video can be configured in iPhone or android app and can be streamed.

  • Yes I agree.. you have to encode your video using metadata mover so that your video will be streaming..i.e it will be streaming.. Please let me know if you have any questions.. NOTE : metadatamover is a tool for windows to make the metadata of the movie to the beginning of the movie. – Dilip Rajkumar May 16 '12 at 09:15
