MPMoviePlayerController should only in landscape mode

Question

I am using the MPMoviePlayerController in my application to play videos. My application is working only in portrait mode. and I want application video should only play in landscape mode only. So please can any one suggest how i do this. Right now my video is playing in Portrait mode.

Answer 1

For doing this, You need to subclass the MPMoviePlayerController class.

@interface yourMovie:MPMoviePlayerController
{
}
@end

and you need to implement the shouldAutoRotate method in the implementation and return only landscape mode

@implementation yourMovie

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation] != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
@end

And you need to create yourMovie instance instead of MPMoviePlayerController
