Thanks to Karl Moskowski, Jean-Daniel Dupas, and Stuart Rogers for confirming AVFoundation and AVKit as the modern way forward. After reviewing Apple's sample code, the slides from WWDC 2013 session 606, and a couple more Google searches, the task of playing an MP4 video was pretty straightforwa

NSUserNotification + Custom Icon?

In 10.9, NSUserNotification supports a new property "contentImage", which allows the use of a graphic within the notification itself. It's nice, but not exactly what I was wishing for (puts it on the right side of the notification window). I was hoping that there might be a way to usurp the not

Re: NSStackView basics

Thanks Ken. I suspected it was something like that but didn't know what to do about it. It also hadn't occurred to me that making the text field centered didn't necessarily imply anything about the size of the containing view. With no constraints on the sizes of contained view, it seems that NSStac

Good morning all, I'm toying with a project to play short video, stored in my app's bundle. I had thought to use QTKit and a QTMovieView, but I can't locate the QTMovieView in Interface Builder. Apple has a QTKit tutorial, "Creating a Simple QTKit Media Player Application," but this is built a

NSTextView - stopping conversion of quotation marks

I’m confused. If you select a NSTextView item in IB, then examine the Attributes Inspector, you’re presented with various options for setting text attributes, such as the font, size and color. In my clumsy hands, none of these work. The text entry always defaults to Helvetica 12.0 in standard bl

Problems with reachability observer in Mavericks / Xcode 5

Here's an odd one. It works before Mavericks (Xcode 5) - and doesn't work now. I've been playing with Reachability (https://developer.apple.com/Library/ios/samplecode/Reachability/Introduction/Intro.html). Apple's example is for iOS, but with a few small mods it worked fine on Mac OS X. I w

-[UITextField selectAll:] causes cut/copy/paste controls to appear

In my table view, when the user taps “+”, we create a new entry, then automatically push that one. Then I try to select the contents of a UITextField so the user can quickly edit it. In so doing, the field also pops up the cut/copy/paste control. There are some Stack Overflow answers to this,
