Album art on MPMoviePlayerController

Question

I am using MPMoviePlayerController to play my podcast. I was wondering if there is a way to add an Album Art instead of having the default Quicktime logo.

Answer 1

You can get the view from the MPMoviePlayerController instance. Try adding a new subview (say, UIImageView) with the AlbumArt.

Answer 2

You can access the album art of playing track like so.

MPMediaItem *item = [[MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer] nowPlayingItem]; MPMediaItemArtwork *art = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];

Hope this helps
