iOS SDK: Playing Video with the MediaPlayer Framework

Learn to integrate video playback into iOS applications using the Media Player framework and MPMoviePlayerController class in this 24-minute tutorial. Discover how to subscribe to notifications with NSNotificationCenter, log messages to the console, and identify and fix memory leaks. Create a new view-based project, convert video files to iOS-compatible formats, add project resources, and configure the Media Player framework. Design the interface using Interface Builder, implement a play method, and set up an NSNotification callback for playback completion.
