MPMoviePlayerController with a Custom Button on its toolbar
You might have seen video through you tube in iPhone.
Normal MPMoviePlayerController has previous, next & play/pause buttons.
You tube - player has additional two buttons on it.
=> Add to favorites on the left side.
=> Email this video on right side.
I want to implement the same for my application.
But I am failed to find out the property or methods regarding - implementing this.
How do I need buttons on it?
- When User is watching video there should no buttons on screen.
- When user taps on video - a toolbar comes on top & at center
- A center tool bar has generally three buttons on it ,Previous - next -play/pause
- I want to add a button beside next button & previous button.
Answer
I don't think you can modify the interface of an Apple provided view.
The general approach would be to play your video and then after it's done, show a view with the desired buttons/and or options for the user.
An example of this can be seen with the YouTube app on the iPhone. After the youtube video plays, the user is sent to a summary view with links to watch the video again, favourite it, share it, etc.
