Description
It seems that movieControlStyle is NOT depricated and that
mediaControlStyle does not work within
Titanium.Media.VideoPlayer.
Tested on iOS with 1.4.2, 1.5.1 and 1.6
This works:
var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title: 'Test'
    });
var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer
({
    sourceType: Ti.Media.VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE_FILE,
    url: 'movie.mp4',
    backgroundColor:'#000',
scalingMode: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT,
movieControlStyle: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_NONE
});
win.add(activeMovie);
win.open();
This doesn't:
var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
    title: 'Test'
    });
var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer
({
    sourceType: Ti.Media.VIDEO_SOURCE_TYPE_FILE,
    url: 'movie.mp4',
    backgroundColor:'#000',
scalingMode: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT,
mediaControlStyle: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_NONE
});
win.add(activeMovie);
win.open();
One property is for 3.1.x, one property is for later iOS. Need to make sure that instead of cross-translating (which causes issues) we ignore and print deprecation warnings.
Jeff originally did the documentation for this (https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blame/1_7_X/apidoc/Titanium/Media/VideoPlayer.tdoc) and he calls the newer property
mediaControlStyle. If I grep our iOS code I don't see anything starting with "mediaControl", but I do findmovieControlModeandmovieControlStyle. When Don implemented the play/pause/etc control for Android version of our VideoPlayer earlier this year, he followed the documentation (somediaControlStyle). So we need to agree on which is right for the non-deprecated property:mediaControlStyleormovieControlStyle.pull request pending.
Code and docs reviewed and tested. New code works, old code gives warnings but still work.
Closing bug. Verified deprecation of movieControlStyle on: OS: Mac OS X Lion Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.7.201112061404 SDK build: 1.8.0.1.v20111207112258 Device: iphone 4S Sprint (5.0.1)
Reopening to tag for deprecation in 1.8.0.
