copied!<p>Iam trying to play a video from a remote location and trying to overlay a window over the entire screen which is more or less transparent with few images along the edges . As soon as the movie is preloaded I play the video. This happens good the first time. But if I try to replay the video it does not play the video and neither am i able to click on the Play button from the controls of the player. I guess the overlay window is over the controls. How do i get the controls over the overlay window.</p> <p>//- (void)moviePlayerContentPreloadDidFinish:(NSNotification *)notification{</p> <pre><code>NSLog(@"content preloaded"); NSDictionary *userInfo = [notification userInfo]; if ([userInfo valueForKey:@"error"]) { NSLog(@"*** An error occurred preloading the movie"); return; } [self.spinner stopAnimating]; // Add the overlay view to the movie, so we can catch the clicks OverlayViewController *ovc = [[OverlayViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"OverlayView" bundle:nil]; self.overlayController = ovc; [ovc release]; [self.overlayController setNextResponder:self]; MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [notification object]; [moviePlayer play]; // Locate the movie player window NSArray *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]; NSLog(@"window count= %d",[windows count]); if ([windows count] < 2) { NSLog(@"*** Window for movie player is missing"); return; } UIWindow *moviePlayerWindow = [windows objectAtIndex:1]; [moviePlayerWindow addSubview:self.overlayController.view]; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>The code that I use is</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong. Is it possible to get the controls over the overlay or auto play it.</p>
