playing .mov files in iOS

Question

So I am trying to play an intro scene in the format of a .mov file in my iOS (cocos2d) game.

This is my current code.

CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];

    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"DD Logo" ofType:@"mov"]];
    MPMoviePlayerController * mpc;
    mpc = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
    [mpc setFullscreen:YES animated:NO];
    mpc.shouldAutoplay = YES;
    mpc.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    mpc.view.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, winSize.width, winSize.height);

    [mpc setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeFill];
    [mpc setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
    [mpc setMovieSourceType:MPMovieSourceTypeFile];
    [mpc setRepeatMode:MPMovieRepeatModeNone];

    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:mpc.view];

    [mpc play];

What happens is, the audio plays, but this is what the screen looks like. http://gyazo.com/4f046472666bf1f58c88128f24e66229

Answer 1

Sometimes I have issues playing .mov files. For me when I change to mp4, it works. Your code looks right so maybe changing the format would help? It is possible the codec being used in the .mov is not iOS compatible.

Check out this git project,

Open source library called Cocos2D extensions that includes a class you can use to play videos in Cocos2D.

https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-iphone-extensions

if thats too old what about this

[CCVideoPlayer setDelegate: self]; [CCVideoPlayer playMovieWithFile: @"movie.m4v"];

or this...
