Apparently, MPMoviePlayerController isn't the way to go for this. What I ended up doing was using MPMoviePlayerViewController and overrode the remoteControlReceivedWithEvent to customize the controls.
Below is my current code which I am using. @interface MGMMoviePlayerViewController : MPMoviePlayerViewController - (void)remoteControlReceivedWithEvent:(UIEvent *)event; @end @implementation MGMMoviePlayerViewController - (void)remoteControlReceivedWithEvent:(UIEvent *)theEvent { if (theEvent.type==UIEventTypeRemoteControl) { if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPlay) { [[self moviePlayer] play]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPause) { [[self moviePlayer] pause]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlTogglePlayPause) { if ([[self moviePlayer] playbackState]==MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying) { [[self moviePlayer] pause]; } else { [[self moviePlayer] play]; } } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlStop) { [[self moviePlayer] stop]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlNextTrack) { NSTimeInterval currentTime = [[self moviePlayer] currentPlaybackTime]; currentTime += 10; if (currentTime>[[self moviePlayer] duration]) currentTime = [[self moviePlayer] duration]; [[self moviePlayer] setCurrentPlaybackTime:currentTime]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPreviousTrack) { NSTimeInterval currentTime = [[self moviePlayer] currentPlaybackTime]; currentTime -= 10; if (currentTime<0) currentTime = 0; [[self moviePlayer] setCurrentPlaybackTime:currentTime]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlBeginSeekingBackward) { [[self moviePlayer] beginSeekingBackward]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlBeginSeekingForward) { [[self moviePlayer] beginSeekingForward]; } else if (theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlEndSeekingBackward || theEvent.subtype==UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlEndSeekingForward) { [[self moviePlayer] endSeeking]; } } } @end - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)theTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)theIndexPath { NSString *file = [[MGMFilesPath stringByExpandingTildeInPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:[files objectAtIndex:[theIndexPath indexAtPosition:1]]]; moviePlayerView = [[MGMMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:file]]; [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerView]; [[moviePlayerView moviePlayer] play]; [fileView deselectRowAtIndexPath:theIndexPath animated:NO]; } _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
