iPhone app: play video in small view only

In my iPhone App I want to play video in a small view.

Video should start playing automatically, and the buttons for play pause and full screen should be hidden.

enter image description here

How can I achieve that?

Solution

  • What you would do is manually set the frame for MPMoviePlayerController's view, and set the control style to MPMovieControlStyleNone. Much like this below..

    ....
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
[player setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];

//this is where you create your `embedded` view size
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 300);

[self.view addSubview:player.view];
....
