objective c - How to resume a movie that's being played with presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated

Question

I'm uisng this code to display a movie:

 MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
 initWithContentURL:movieURL];
 mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown;
 [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp]; [mp.moviePlayer play];

The code is working fine. However when the application goes to the background while playing a movie, when the app comes back in the foreground the movieplayer is not displayed. (I see the view of the controller that called presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp

Is it possible when entering the foregound to resume the movie that was playing before the app went to the background?

Answer 1

Have you set the UIBackgroundmode to audio and also there has been problem with playing the video after app enters foreground .Refer this Tutorial on MPMoviePlayerViewController Also you can try using MPMoviePlayerViewController which has options for implementing various notifications .
