I am trying to play a video stream from the internet on the iPhone by pressing a button. I used many code samples but nothing worked. With this code it opens a black view without any video stream or controls in it. (The stream itself works.)
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://MyStreamURL.com"];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
