vSNAX - any idea how they did this?

[yezaev]

Have you guys seen this app vSNAX? Any idea how they succeeded doing the overlays of custom views over the video player? I know MPMoviePlayerController creates a new window which you can grab through the sharedApplication's windows property, and then add subviews to it. However in the attempts I've made, I get jarring black flashes when transitioning to other movies or back to the window that my application owns; in addition to array out of bounds exceptions. Any insight into this?

I have the same problem, I would like to know how to put overlays on top of the video player.
Like they do here:


or even here where there's a custom player



thanks for any idea even if it's a commercial library

Maybe they use CALayers instead of UIViews for the overlays?
