Brightcove Player Issue on IOS

I am working on iPhone application where i have included bright cove SDK to play video. I am able to play video but found letter boxing issue around sides of player view(black space on top and side bar). How can i avoid letterboxing around UIView corners? it would be great if you can provide any example or any sample code.I am attaching screenshot for player as well.

Solution

  • Get the ratio of the video from the video properties:

    video.properties[kBCOVCatalogJSONKeyFLVFullLength][@"frameWidth"];
video.properties[kBCOVCatalogJSONKeyFLVFullLength][@"frameHeight"];

    Then adjust the size of your video player view (playbackController.view) to suit the required height. This may involve the view being wider than its parent and clipping of the left and right sides, but will achieve the desired result.
