media player - Play stream .m3u8 audio file in iOS -

i confused this.i have url contains .m3u8 file in , when seek stream url with:

mpmovieplayercontroller *player = [[mpmovieplayercontroller alloc] initwithcontenturl:movieurl]; [player setcontrolstyle:mpmoviecontrolmodevolumeonly]; [player setfullscreen:yes]; [player preparetoplay]; [player play];

it seems can't because nil starts playing.but when utilize :

mpmovieplayerviewcontroller* controller = [[mpmovieplayerviewcontroller alloc] initwithcontenturl:movieurl]; [self presentviewcontroller:controller animated:yes completion:nil];

the viewcontroller starts playing file. what's difference?why can't in viewcontroller? in advance

mpmovieplayercontroller lets start playing, stopping , streaming of content, meant incorporated own view hierarchy.

since ios 3.2 mpmovieplayerviewcontroller became available, handles presentation you.

in code above, first case, not added view hierarchy.

ex:

[self.view addsubview:player.view];

another difference mpmovieplayercontroller property of mpmovieplayerviewcontroller.

think of mpmovieplayercontroller player gives controls , mpmovieplayerviewcontroller provides you, in add-on controls, presentation.

hope helps.
