Adding Multimedia Playback Capability
- (IBAction)doShowViewTestsWindow:(id)sender
{
// add a toolbar
if ([mViewTestsWindow toolbar] == nil)
[mViewTestsWindow setToolbar:[[[NSToolbar alloc]
initWithIdentifier:@"QTKitPlayer"] autorelease]];
}
@end
// show the window
[mViewTestsWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
This completes the steps for adding code to your ViewTestsController.m implementation file. You
can build and compile your QTKitPlayer application for multimedia playback.
The Completed QTKit Multimedia Player
If you’ve worked through the steps outlined in this chapter, you’ll have extended your knowledge
of how to build a media player that is capable of displaying and playing back up to six QuickTime
movies. You can modify the code to meet your own needs, if, for example, you want to set up the
QTKitPlayer so that it only displays movies that are pre-selected. This is possible with a minimum
amount of code tweaking.
The goal is to expand the possibilities that are available to you with the new QTKit framework.
The effect of multimedia playback can be dramatic, indeed, when the user is able to view all six movies
at full screen on their computer and even resize each movie to meet their viewing needs. In the
illustration shown in Figure 6-17, the QuickTime VR movie in the lower left portion of the playback
window is stretched out for improved VR viewing and navigation.
