iOS - Video not rotating only in iOS7 over iPhone?


What i have Done?

I am playing videos in an extended class of MPMoviePlayerViewController and have implemented orientation functions as follows

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {

    if (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown){
        return FALSE;
    }
    else{
        return TRUE;
    }
}

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {
    [self setControlsPositions:toInterfaceOrientation];
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

What issue i am Facing?

The application works fine up till iOS6 on Both iPhone and iPad Almong with iPad (with iOS7) but the video does not rotate over iPhone with iOS7 installed.

What is the reason for such issue and how it can be resolved?

Update

I have found that the video does rotates if setMovieSourceType is set to MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown but does not rotate when set to `MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming


Solution

  • After apple wanted me to give them a sample for the bug reported by me in iOS-7 i found that i wasn't pushing the view Controller rather i was adding the view to window. In such cases other view Controllers do get the orientation events but the MPMoviePlayerViewController subclass didn't so i just presentated the view controller instead of adding the its view and it worked.
