MPMoviePlayer video not displayed in iOS8

Question

I have the basic MPMoviePlayer code

moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]initWithContentURL:local_url];
[moviePlayerViewController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 320)];
[[Util get_rootViewController] presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];
[moviePlayerViewController.moviePlayer play];
[[Util get_rootViewController].view addSubview:moviePlayerViewController.view];

It's working fine in iPad with 7.0 version. But it has not displayed the video in iOS8 and it is getting audio only.

I tried the answers which have been suggested so far, but still no luck.

`MPMoviePlayerViewController` != `MPMoviePlayerController`. Your code is an odd mixture of both. So step 1 is to decide which one you're trying to use. — user3386109, Sep 11 '15 at 06:23
little confusion - you have presented movie player controller then added it's view as subview to other view...!! So eiather add it's view as subview or present its controller. Dont do both — Nayan, Sep 11 '15 at 06:26
The issue was fixed. Actually the problem is my root controller.. So i have been added one view controller and added the movie player class.it's working fine right now. — Sethu K, Sep 14 '15 at 07:06

Try this code:

NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example.com/somefile.mp4"];
movieController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movieController];
[movieController.moviePlayer play];

Try this code it works on iOS 8 (personally tested.)

   MPMoviePlayerViewController * moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:local_url];

      moviePlayer.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;

      [moviePlayer.moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];

      [moviePlayer.view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:YES];

      [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];

recheck your url. might be the problem with your link – DHEERAJ Sep 11 '15 at 07:37 — DHEERAJ, Sep 11 '15 at 07:37
