How to show MPMoviePlayerController controls?

Question

I have MPMoviePlayerController, and I want to show controls programmaticaly, like after user's tap, or simulate users tap.

How can I do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Someone already answer to that question here i think

Set controlStyle property to MPMovieControlStyleNone initially, and then set it to MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen one second later using a [performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:1]. It works well, controls do not appear until user taps on video.

Answer 2

creating the MPMoviePlayerController object in the following way would give you an interface for video controls

yourMoviePlayerController = [MPMoviePlayerController new];     
yourMoviePlayerController.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded;
[yourMoviePlayerController setContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath]];
yourMoviePlayerController.backgroundView.hidden = YES;

[yourMoviePlayerController setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit];
yourMoviePlayerController.shouldAutoplay=YES;
yourMoviePlayerController.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
