Not sure about the error handling, but MPMoviePlayerController is documented to conform to MPMediaPlayback, the documentation for which describes -play: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/mediaplayer/reference/MPMediaPlayback_protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/MPMediaPlayback/play > More philosophical: why are the APIs so inconsistent?

And you've never seen "An error occurred: There was an error (E_SUCCESS)" on Windows, or similar errno stomping on *nix? What UNIX libraries do you regularly use that set errno? Returning errors from the place they happen, or providing a block argument that can act as an error handler, or notifying a delegate object than an error has occurred in an operation it requested before are all vastly superior to the "last failure gets to write an oh-so-descriptive integer to a shared memory location." --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
