How to disable FullScreen in MPMoviePlayerViewController in iOS

Question

I am working with MPMoviePlayerViewController,

MPMoviePlayerViewController *avPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
// [movieView prepareToPlay];

[avPlayer.view setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 200, 320, 100)];  // player's frame must match parent's
[avPlayer shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
[avPlayer shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
avPlayer.moviePlayer.scalingMode=MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
avPlayer.moviePlayer.useApplicationAudioSession=NO;
avPlayer.moviePlayer.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded;
//avPlayer.moviePlayer.repeatMode=MPMovieRepeatModeOne;
avPlayer.moviePlayer.scalingMode=MPMovieScalingModeFill;
[self.view addSubview: avPlayer.view];

This functionality working fine. But i need to disable fullscreen for MPMoviePlayerViewController. So, that i wrote

avPlayer.moviePlayer.fullscreen=NO;

But this is not working.

Will you please give me suggestion.

Use this code for disable full screen in MPMoviePlayerViewController.

moviePlayerController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;

or check this for enter your view controller.

 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                         selector:@selector(Enter:) 
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification 
                                           object:nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                         selector:@selector(Enter:) 
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerDidEnterFullscreenNotification 
                                           object:nil];

i hope this code useful for you.

This will not properly function. Try this, use this code and then use a pinch gesture to scale up or down -> bam! — Till, Aug 05 '13 at 16:36
