iPad MPMoviePlayerController - Disable Fullscreen

Question

Is there a way to disable the fullscreen button of the MPMoviePlayerController ?

Answer 1

Just did it:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

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

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

    self.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded;
}

- (void)movieEventFullscreenHandler:(NSNotification*)notification {
    [self.moviePlayer setFullscreen:NO animated:NO];
    [self.moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded];
}

Depending on your needs, you can also simply disable all user interactions on the player view.

player.view.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

You can set controlStyle to Fullscreen. these controls are somewhat different, but it doesn't feature a Fullscreen button!

[_moviePlayerController setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
