Question

iOS4 - videoPlayer has no playback controls during playback.

I am trying to upgrade an app to work with iOS4. I cant seem to get the video player controls on the video anymore.

Here's my code…

EDIT - UPDATED CODE

var movie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
        url: vidurl,
        backgroundColor: '#000',
    movieControlMode: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT
    });

    videoWindow.add(movie);
    movie.addEventListener('complete', function (e) {
     alert("movie is finished");
        movie.close();  

    });


    movie.fullscreen = true;    
    movie.play();

Updated the code to be a bit cleaner. I dont why the video controls arnt showing and without them I cant push updates for three apps out :(

Answer 1

Laney:

movieControlStyle: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_NONE

Answer 2

I have the opposite problem. I do not want the controls but get them with this code

var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
contentURL:'movie.m4v',
backgroundColor:'#000',
movieControlMode:Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_HIDDEN,
scalingMode:Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_FILL
});

// play movie
activeMovie.play();

Answer 3

Abdullah try:

var movie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
    url: vidurl,
    backgroundColor: '#000',
    movieControlMode: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_FULLSCREEN,
    scalingMode:Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_MODE_FILL
});

videoWindow.add(movie);

movie.addEventListener('playing', function (e) {
    movie.fullscreen = true
});

movie.addEventListener('complete', function (e) {
  alert("movie is finished");
  movie.close();  
});

movie.play();

According to the docco - fullscreen can't be set in 3.2+ until the view is actually shown. You might be able to use the 'preload' event rather than the playing event.

Answer 4

Did you solve your problem? I have the same issue of not getting any controls in the video player, no matter what settings I try.
