Hey all. Something which has been bugging me quite a bit recently is this custom movie player I’ve put together. It’s largely based on a working one, NGMoviePlayer<\/code>.<\/p>\n

The issue is this: I have the .xib<\/code> in a UIKit-friendly resource bundle. When I call:<\/p>\n

[MyMoviePlayerViewController initWithNibName:@\"MyMoviePlayerViewController\"\n bundle:[NSBundle bundleWithPath:\n         [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]\n          stringByAppendingPathComponent:@\"MyMoviePlayerViewController.bundle\"]];\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
..on my custom class, and then access the view<\/code> (thus calling loadView<\/code>) it doesn’t throw any errors, but nor does it actually load the outlets properly. I am presented with a white screen, and debugging shows that all visual elements are 0x0<\/code>, but there was no error as would be expected.<\/p>\n
EDIT:<\/strong> I’ve also now tried just loading the .xib outside of a resource bundle in my target app, and the same thing happens (white screen).<\/p>\n
The particular ones I was looking for was either:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Could not load NIB ...<\/code> if it wasn’t found at all, or<\/li>\n
  • ...loaded the NIB but the view outlet was not set<\/code> if it was found but not connected properly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    The xib is in the local app (I understand that static libs can’t contain xibs). I’ve tried using this same resource bundle with the NGMoviePlayerDemo<\/code> project provided by the author of NGMoviePlayer<\/code>, and it does<\/em> throw an error:<\/p>\n
    Could not load NIB in bundle:\n'\/Users\/...\/MyMoviePlayerViewController.bundle (not yet loaded)'\n with name 'MyMoviePlayerViewController'\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    I have navigated to the path it displays for the bundle and there exists a MyMoviePlayerViewController.xib<\/code> file at that location.<\/p>\n
    I’ve also tried using bundle:nil<\/code> in case Xcode combined the resources of bundle directories with the main one for some reason. Both cases throw no error and display a white screen in my actual project. Both cases throw a Could not load NIB<\/code> error in the NGMoviePlayerDemo<\/code> project.<\/p>\n
    EDIT:<\/strong> I have tried the same .xib separate from a resource bundle in the NGMoviePlayerDemo<\/code> app and it works fine.<\/p>\n
    All input is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
