MPMoviePlayerController with MPMovieControlModeHidden

[johnkksmith]

Hi,

I am trying to hide the controls on a MPMoviePlayerController. Using:

moviePlayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;

Works fine on my 3GS and in the simulator, however on a 3G (running 3.1.3) it refuses to hide.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
John

I'm going to quote and refer you to the MPMoviePlayerController Class Reference. Here's the quote:

movieControlMode
The user controls to display. (Deprecated. Use the “Accessing the Movie Properties” property instead.)

@property (nonatomic) MPMovieControlMode movieControlMode
Discussion
You should avoid using this property. It is available only when you use the initWithContentURL: method to initialize the movie player controller object.

Determines the control (if any) the user has over movie playback. Different modes give the user access to different sets of playback controls, some of which allow the user to pause and resume playback and some of which do not.

This property is set to MPMovieControlModeDefault by default. See the “MPMovieControlMode” enumeration for the available control modes.

Availability
Available in iPhone OS 2.0 through iPhone OS 3.1.

It's depreciated for 3.2, what if I want to target older sdks?

I am using initWithContentURL.

Did you even read what I wrote? Obviously I have read the documentation to get it to work on a 3GS and in the simulator.
