macOS QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute alternative

[fernandovalente]

NSDictionary *att = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://216.218.147.60:9014"], QTMovieURLAttribute, [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute, nil];

I wrote this code, but I need to make this app run on Leopard. What should I use instead of QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute?

QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute on 10.6 is really just @"QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute" so you can plug that in directly. For 10.5 there is no alternative so it shouldn't matter if you pass in an attribute that QTMovie doesn't understand.

Tried this:

NSDictionary *att = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://216.218.147.60:9014"], QTMovieURLAttribute, [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], nil];

Got this error:

2010-02-21 23:17:33.957 Radio Tool X[23654:a0f] +[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:]: second object of each pair must be non-nil.  Or, did you forget to nil-terminate your parameter list?

The movie also won't play. How may I solve that please?

Look at the arguments again. You're passing an uneven number of objects and keys.

This must be one of that foolish errors that I don't understand. I used this, but I got a QTMovieLoadStateError.

NSDictionary *att = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://76.73.79.82:8688"], QTMovieURLAttribute, nil];

I get this error no matter which URL I try. It used to work before removing

[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute

Got the error:

 Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-2048 UserInfo=0x10a2140 "The file is not a movie file."

I don't know how to solve that

This is what you have as the URL:

@"http://216.218.147.60:9014"

Unless that server is responding with a movie file when it's given no pathname or filename, you may need a little more to the URL.

Well, it works when QTMovieOpenForPlayback is set to YES. It doesn't make sense

	NSDictionary *att = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://78.129.226.12:8700"], QTMovieURLAttribute, nil];
	movie = [[QTMovie alloc]initWithAttributes:att error:&error];

The error object is NULL. I really need to know how to solve that.

I don't know if that helps, but this is an audio stream.

What about using the URL http://216.218.147.60:9014/listen.pls ?

It appears to work when using a pls file located on a remote server. Unfortunatelly, a pls file located on the mainbundle doesn't work. I tried getting the URL from this pls file, but I couldn't get it to work out of the pls file.

OK, I can give up supporting Leopard. That's not a big deal. But there's still one problem. I'm using the QuickTime API to get the metadata from the song. It doesn't work when QTMovieOpenForPlaybackAttribute is set to YES. If I knew any other way to do that, it would be a lot easier. QuickTime API really sucks, I can't even compile it as 64bit.
