Hey Everyone,

I ran into an issue with the iPhone (2.2.1) MediaPlayer that I haven't been able to resolve.

I created a simple ViewController project with a single press the play button to play the video.

The glitch is that if you press play and then immediately press "done" it takes you back to the button and the music will begin playing (if you wait a minute) and you press play to lock up the app.

It must have something to do with the "preloading" of the video.

Any thoughts on this one?

@synthesize moviePlayer;

-(void)viewDidLoad {
if(!moviePlayer) {
//moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[self bundleURL]];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[self movieURL]];
}
}

-(IBAction)playVideo {
[moviePlayer play];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

}

-(void) moviePlayBackDidFinishid)sender {
NSLog(@"playback stop");
[moviePlayer stop];
}

-(void) moviePreloadDidFinishid)sender {
NSLog(@"preload");
}

- (NSURL *)movieURL {
return [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://code.agilephil.com/fox.m4v"];

- (NSURL *)bundleURL {

return [NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath];
}

[moviePlayer release];
