The last time i did this was years ago and my old code no longer works as mpmovieplayer has been depreciated. This was the code NSBundle bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle]; NSString moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"Ian Holloway" ofType:@"mp4"]; NSURL movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain]; MPMoviePlayerController theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL]; theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill; [theMovie play]; MPMoviePlayerViewController moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL]; [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer]; Much appreciation for any help! Thanks Title Comments Hi all, Does anyone know how to play MP4s that are contained within the project please?

Either way, you should be able to use those in a webView.

Playing movies used to be so easy, finding any kind of reference to simple players now is virtually impossible. Thanks again, Alex Comments Thanks Smug, i'll give it a go!

I used it in the VideoSnap plug-in to preview video's. Comments I know html 5 can be used as a media player and works fine for mp4's. I used it in the VideoSnap plug-in to preview video's.
