NSMovieView never !isPlaying?
-
(I sent this out before, but my network was down, so I sent it from
another account and was moderated till who knows when)
Okay, so I created this nice NSMovieView object that I can play NSMovies
in. aiff and mp3 files are coming out great. I didn't add it into any
contentViews cause I wanted to control it entirely programatically.
So, I
wanted my NSMovieView to start playing another song after it gone done
with whatever it is playing now. To check that, I probably should just
call isPlaying(). Hmm... the only thing is, it always returns true
unless
I manually call stop off of my NSMovieObject. The song will be done
playing, I'll keep checking if my NSMovieView object is !isPlaying(),
but it always returns true! So, how do I know when my NSMovieView
object is done playing it's current movie? Is there a way?
Thanks,

you really don't need to create it at all.
Just instanciate a NSMovie object, then use a bunch of the QT funtions
like
extern Boolean IsMovieDone(Movie theMovie);
etc....
There is an book called
Discovering Quicktime that is written by Apple that is a really good book
describing the QT api.

Any chance they'll be an Objective-C interface to more of the QT api?
It seems odd to deal with things like
QTUtils_ConvertCToPascalString(). :-)

Hmmm... my original question was about the Java APIs, although I wasn't
explicit enough. I can't call QTMovie off of my NSMovie object because
no such method exists in the Java version of NSMovie. If using the
bridge didn't seem so hard (the documentation still talks about
non-existant apps like Bridget), I guess I could send my objects
Objective-C calls.
So, unless anyone has any better ideas, I'm going to have to entirely
abandon using NSMovie and figure out how to use Quicktime for Java.
Oh yeah, wrapping basic QuickTime calls in a Cocoa API would be really
nice (heck, I'd just be happy if they were accessable in my case)

I finally figured this out. You have to add your NSMovieView object to
the Subview of the contentview of some window which is open for
isPlaying yo work right. If the window is closed, it won't work. So I
just made a transparent window and added my NSMovieView object and it
works great now.
