copied!<p>I've been struggling with a very annoying problem all day long and I hope I could find help on this board.</p> <p>I'm using an MPMoviePlayerController to play a fullscreen movie on iPad and I can't figure how to remove the status bar which is always displayed despite all my efforts to make it go to hell.</p> <p>Here is the code of the method I use to display the movie : </p> <pre><code>-(void)launchVideoFromButton:(id)sender{ NSString *videoPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"movie01" ofType:@"m4v"]; NSURL *videoPathURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath]; moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoPathURL]; [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view]; moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES; moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile; [moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES]; moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen; NSNotificationCenter *notificationCenter = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]; [notificationCenter addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerEvent:) name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification object:moviePlayer]; } -(void)moviePlayerEvent:(NSNotification*)aNotification{ [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO]; NSLog(@"%i", [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden); } </code></pre> <p>In the console, I can see that moviePlayerEvent is fired when the movie appears but the statusbar is still there : [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO] seems to be inoperant. I've been trying to use the other MPMoviePlayerController notifications with no luck.</p> <p>Could anyone help me on that one?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
