Answer 1

It might be a problem with MovieSourceType; you are playing a local file but using MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming; just modify the type and try again

Answer 2

Had same issue, try setting ContentURL after Setting the SourceType like below,

moviePlayerController_ = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] init];
moviePlayerController_.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[moviePlayerController_.moviePlayer setContentURL:url];

Answer 3

i have used moviePlayerController.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown its works for me.. try it..

Answer 4

First you have to inform to player the source type ofter you set that content of video file; like this

Here is two types of urls; if the url is like this you write this function

 NSString *aStr=@"http://www.my url like this.com/video/videos/review/Michale JACKSON  AUDIENCE Comment.mp4";   

aStr = [aStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

or (second one)

NSString *aStr=@"http://www.normal url.com/video.mp4"

// after add your url string to this url

NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:aStr];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *MPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]init];
MPlayer.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
[MPlayer.moviePlayer setContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:MPlayer];

Answer 5

Not a direct answer to the question, but if you get this error after trying to update contentURL, calling stop() before solves the problem.

moviePlayerController.stop()
moviePlayerController.movieSourceType = .File
moviePlayerController.contentURL = newURL
