How to customize Mpmoviewplayer size and fit that to collectionview cell

Question

I am playing an video from document directory in the collection view using below code

- (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
{

        if (indexPath.item==0) {

        NSURL *vedioURL;
        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

        NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

        NSArray *filePathsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory  error:nil];

        NSLog(@"files array %@", filePathsArray);

        //reverse the array
        //    NSArray* reversedArray = [[filePathsArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];
        //    NSLog(@"%@",reversedArray);

        NSString *fullpath;

        for ( NSString *apath in filePathsArray )
        {
            fullpath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:apath];
            vedioURL =[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullpath];
        }
        NSLog(@"vurl %@",vedioURL);

        MPMoviePlayerViewController *videoPlayerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:vedioURL];
        videoPlayerView.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 60, 412,229);
        UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300)];
        [view addSubview:videoPlayerView.view];
        [self.view addSubview:view];
        [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:videoPlayerView];
        [videoPlayerView.moviePlayer play];


    }

When I click on the image video is playing,but I want that video to be played in same position in the same cell.

 - (void) collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
 {

@try {


    UICollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    // A safe check before going to access sibview.
    if ([cell.contentView.subviews count] > 0) 
    {
      // Find your imageview here
    }
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
    NSLog(@"Exception :%@",exception.debugDescription);
}
}

Hi Bro sorry for the delay this MPMoviePlayerViewController *videoPlayerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:vedioURL]; UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300)]; [view addSubview:videoPlayerView.view]; [self.view addSubview:view]; [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:videoPlayerView]; [videoPlayerView.moviePlayer play]; [view setClipsToBounds:YES]; in the collection view cell now when i click the image the video have to play – Satheeshkumar Naidu Aug 09 '16 at 07:29
The add a UIGesture to the image and detect the tap. Give every image a unique id and when the UIGesture responds there add your play method – gurmandeep Aug 09 '16 at 08:42
one doubt is I will add images randomly in that 3 image one is video first frame image when ever notification center fires one image will add to the collection view cell if that image is added to the collection view cell the video have to play in the cell,how to do that it same like instagram recording video and add it to the timeline – Satheeshkumar Naidu Aug 09 '16 at 08:50
On which image you want to tap? – gurmandeep Aug 09 '16 at 08:54
video first frame image,but all the images is adding to the same array – Satheeshkumar Naidu Aug 09 '16 at 09:00
Do one things, add a tap gesture on the video thumbnail and get the responder differently. Forget about didselect – gurmandeep Aug 09 '16 at 09:02
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0); dispatch_async(queue, ^{ ALAssetsLibrary *assetLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init]; [assetLibrary writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:recordedFile completionBlock: ^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ if (error != nil) { } else { title = @"Saved!"; message = nil;}{save alert NSLog(@"%@",recordedFile); – Satheeshkumar Naidu Aug 09 '16 at 09:07

Tap gesture

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleFingerTap = 
[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self 
                                        action:@selector(handleSingleTap:)];
singleFingerTap.delegate = self;
[yourimageview addGestureRecognizer:singleFingerTap];

Try the following code:

conform the <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate> to your class.

then add this delegate Method:

- (void)handleSingleTap:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {

}

MPMoviePlayerViewController is deprecated after iOS 9. I think the better approach be to go with AVFoundation. Here is the code snippet for you.

    NSURL *vedioURL = [NSURL URLWithString:
                       @"path for your video file"];
    AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:vedioURL];
    // create a player view controller
    AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init];
    controller.player = player;
    controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(10, 40, 320 , 300);
    [player play];
    // show the view controller
    [self addChildViewController:controller];
    [self.view addSubview:controller.view];

Note:- It won't play youtube videos, as it only plays movie files. To play other files you can use webview or may use some youtube parser to play youtube files with AVFoundation.

Yes, You need to use AVFoundation Framework and AVKit – Sabby Aug 09 '16 at 10:50
can you please go through this question and if find any solution let me know – Satheeshkumar Naidu Aug 09 '16 at 10:53
I have posted the solution for you using AVPlayerViewController. It will show in the frame which you will specify. And if you still want to use MPMoviePlayerViewController, then this is for full screen. Just use MPMoviePlayerController – Sabby Aug 09 '16 at 10:58
