more than one MPMoviePlayer in a view?

Question

I need to display more than one movieplayer in a view.

I know I can only play one video.

My problem is that only one of the two MPMovieplayer, I have added to the view, shows me the control buttons.

What can I do to solve my problem?

I use this code to add a movieplayer:

MPMoviePlayerController * moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];


    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(playerPlaybackDidFinish:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                               object:moviePlayer];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(playerDidEnterFullscreen:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerDidEnterFullscreenNotification
                                               object:moviePlayer];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(playerDidExitFullscreen:)
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification
                                                object:moviePlayer];

    moviePlayer.view.frame = rect;

    [movie setContentURL:contentURL];
    [movie prepareToPlay];

    [self addSubview:moviePlayer.view];

I think its not possible. Please see the answer for this question Playing Multiple Videos on iPAD

You will have to use AVPlayer for multiple video viewing, see this
Here is another tutorial for AVPlayer
You can also check this from apple developer portal, link

This question also says something about adding controls to AVPlayer

Answer 2

Hi this is not possible to play more than 1 video in ios because only one thread at a time .

I face same issue in my iPad application but I've found an alternate solution.

I want to play more video in 1 view controller , but these videos are 4 to 5 sec's only.

I make number of continuous image frames of that video's and make .gif files and show this in a UIWebView. it works fine.
