MPMoviePlayerController setCurrentPlaybackTime becomes zero when doing play

[playerView setCurrentPlaybackTime:5.100000];

LOG -> playerView.currentPlaybackTime = @"5.100000"
[playerView play];
LOG -> playerView.currentPlaybackTime = @"0"

In other cases this happens

LOG -> playerView.currentPlaybackTime = @"25.000000"
[playerView play];
LOG -> playerView.currentPlaybackTime = @"23.156467"

I tried using [playerView prepareToPlay] before play, but it does not work

Solution

  • I finally decided to switch to AVPlayer

    setCurrentPlayback is

    int32_t timeScale = playerView.currentItem.asset.duration.timescale;
CMTime time = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(value, timeScale);
[playerView seekToTime:time toleranceBefore:kCMTimeZero toleranceAfter:kCMTimeZero];

    Duration is

    CMTime duration = playerView.currentItem.asset.duration;
float seconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(duration);

    Same pause and Play functions.
