RuTube MPMoviePlayerController initWithContentURL:

I am trying to play a video from url and the only thing i am getting is a black screen and a loading wheel? I have a XML/JSON from witch i need somehow to play the video, I tried with all 3 links i have there and no response

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://rutube.ru/play/embed/7224398"];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x , self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES];
[moviePlayer setShouldAutoplay:YES];

Is there a chanse to start this video using MPMoviePlayerController ??

P.S: I managed to load the video in a WebView but its not what i need.

Solution

  • You have to extract direct link to .mp4 file somehow. Check this article.
