Anyone having trouble with iOS 4 and NSXMLParserDelegate

[ghost]

I keep getting the warning for this: class 'ParseOperation' does not implement the 'NSXMLParserDelegate' protocol

Also the video link isnt working now on mine. Anyone else having the same prob?

Just add right after the @interface ParseOperation : NSOperation, so it reads:

@interface ParseOperation : NSOperation {

[ckoehler]

Um, Github stripped that out. It should be [...] NSOperation lessthansymbol NSXMLParserDelegate greaterthansymbol {

Thanks that got it. Now how do we use MPMoviePlayerController and MPMoviePlayerViewController I guess Apple changed the API but I can't for the life of me figure out how to implement the viewcontroller into it now.

Are you sure podcasts don't play anymore? I think they may just play in the background. Wait around and you may hear some audio. Still not ideal and requiring a fix, but I think it does work.

[ckoehler]

The solution is to use a MPMoviePlayerViewController. Notice the View part. Then you can show the movie with [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:theMovie]; You can also release it right away I think, no need for the observer stuff, since the modal view should retain it. Haven't run into any problems doing it this way.

ah ok, I will try that. Thx a ton.

Could you explain where to put the new MP code? I am in MediaViewController.m looking at

-(void) playMovieAtURL: (NSURL*) theURL {

MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie =
[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: theURL];

theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
//theMovie.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;

// Register for the playback finished notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
 addObserver: self
 selector: @selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
 name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
 object: theMovie];

// Movie playback is asynchronous, so this method returns immediately.
[theMovie play];

}

But can't seem to figure out how to change the MP so that it actually works without errors.

[ckoehler]

Try this:

- (IBAction)playMedia:(id)sender {
  MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMovie =
  [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL: [NSURL URLWithString: self.item.enclosureURLString]];

  theMovie.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
  // theMovie.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden;
  theMovie.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;

  // Movie playback is asynchronous, so this method returns immediately.
  [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:theMovie];
  [theMovie.moviePlayer play];
  [theMovie release];
}

This is modified code, so adjust as needed.

I am getting an error on the

[NSURL URLWithString: self.item.enclosureURLString]];

it is saying "Request for member "item" in something not a structure or union"

Is that the part you were saying would need to modified as needed? Sorry for the beginner questions.

[ckoehler]

Yes, it's modified :) I called it item. You should probably change:

 MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMovie =
 [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL: [NSURL URLWithString: self.item.enclosureURLString]];

to

 MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMovie =
 [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL: theURL];

[ghost]

ah ok, thank ya kindly.

That worked to get rid of errors but the movies still will not play when I press the "video" button inside the app running on the simulator. Any thoughts?

[ghost]

Bamm, nm it works all to well.

I needed to change the code in a couple different places for it to work. Thanks so much.

[ghost]

I'm getting a 'theURL is undeclared' error when I try to build. Any ideas? I've implemented the code suggested above in the 3 controller .m files.

[ckoehler]

Notice above my method is completely different than the one in communique. theURL comes from the method declaration, so as long as that's the same, you should have it.

I just did a commit that includes the new 3.2 API for video playback. Merge the latest commit and it should fix the issue.
