POPlay Video immediately when UIView is loaded
text
Body
copied!<p>Howdy! I'm writing an iPad app, and I need to be able to play a video when a UIView loads. However, I was getting a BAD_EXC_ACCESS if I try to message my MPMoviePlayerController anywhere after I initialize it. I removed the MPMediaPlayerController from my *.h file, then declared it entirely in the implementation file, and now I'm getting the message at the bottom below my code. There are no issues in Build and Analyze about memory leaks (or any issues, for that matter), and I cannot find any posts about this. Here's my code:</p> <pre><code> - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil { self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]; if (self) { } NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"p0600c0100cmpintro" ofType:@"m4v"]; MPMoviePlayerController *movie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]]; NSLog(@"%@", movie); movie.view.frame = CGRectMake(5, 0, 1035, 768); movie.view.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill; [[movie view] setCenter:CGPointMake(movie.view.center.x-10, movie.view.center.y)]; [movie setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone]; [movie setShouldAutoplay:YES]; [[self view] addSubview:[movie view]]; return self; } </code></pre> <p>The NSLog of "movie" gives "MPMoviePlayerController: 0x1b77f0", but then the error message upon crash is "<em>*</em> -[MPMoviePlayerController playbackState]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x1473a0". Help?</p>
