iOS Multitasking and YouTube

[nehalvpatel]

Howdy doo.

I'm facing two problems here and need some help:
1) I am trying to get an MPMoviePlayerController to Multitask, and have it be able to be controlled from the Multitasking bar. I applied the changes in the info.plist, but that didn't do anything. I proceeded to search for solutions, and all I saw was how to multitask with the AVAudioPlayer.

2) Is there a way to launch a YouTube video using just a button? The only thing I see that comes close to that is handing the video directly to the YouTube app, but I want the users to stay in my app. Also, would it be possible for that to multitask, too?

Please help.

There's no such class as MPMediaPlayer.

There's no such class as MPMediaPlayer.

At the time I posted it, I wasn't looking at my code. I got media and movie mixed up. I meant to say MPMoviePlayerController.

Multitasking supports playing background audio; video is not supported.

Yeah, I needed the audio from the MediaPlayer to play in the background, because I'm streaming the audio from my server.

Thanks for the documentation, I'll look into it!
