thumbnailImageAtTime: now deprecated - What's the alternative?

Question

Until iOS7 update I was using...

UIImage *image = [moviePlayer thumbnailImageAtTime:1.0 timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNea         


        

Answer 1

Jeely provides a good work around but it requires an additional library that isn't necessary when the MPMoviePlayer already provides functions for this task. I noticed a syntax error in the original poster's code. The thumbnail notification handler expects an object of type NSNotification, not a dictionary object. Here's a corrected example:

-(void)MPMoviePlayerThumbnailImageRequestDidFinishNotification: (NSNotification*)note
{
    NSDictionary * userInfo = [note userInfo];
    UIImage *image = (UIImage *)[userInfo objectForKey:MPMoviePlayerThumbnailImageKey];
    if(image!=NULL)
        [thumbView setImage:image];
}
