I searched on the web but I didn't find any solution.

That is my problem:

I embed YouTube videos in a UIWebView. It works, but when I enter the fullscreen playback and rotate my iPad, the UINavigationBar is shifted (see the picture below). I know that there is no direct control of the video player in a web view, but I don't know how to solve it.

Thanks

It's no way to resolve this problem using MPMoviePlayerNotification, because UIWebView Video Don't use MPMoviePlayerViewController or it's private for developer. But, there's another way to fix this bug.

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(handleStatusBarFrameDidChange)
                                             name:UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarFrameNotification
                                           object:nil];

- (void)handleStatusBarFrameDidChange {
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
}

I came across the similar problem on my iPhone app.

I wonder if this is the right way but for now the code below solved it.

1. Added observers in the webivew's initialize method.

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(youTubeStarted:) name:@"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidEnterFullscreenNotification" object:nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(youTubeFinished:) name:@"UIMoviePlayerControllerDidExitFullscreenNotification" object:nil];

The observers should be removed when you don't need them no longer. I just put the code in the webview's dealloc method.

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];

2. Hide the navigation bar when the movie started and show it again when the movie finished.
* contentsViewController in the code is the owner of my webview. so just in my case.

- (void)youTubeStarted:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    self.contentsViewController.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
}

- (void)youTubeFinished:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    self.contentsViewController.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
}

I got the way from How to receive NSNotifications from UIWebView embedded YouTube video playback

  • The only issue with this is UIMoviePlayerController is a private API. Does anyone have any experience of successful submissions using these notifications? – Meroon Oct 05 '12 at 21:34
