Allow rotation only in movie player

[bitomule]

I've a portrait only app but I want to allow rotation inside movie player. Is it possible?

I've tried using this small hack:

let value = UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait.rawValue
UIDevice.currentDevice().setValue(value, forKey: "orientation")

in viewWillAppear on the presenter view. It works but I see the rotation animation once movie player is dismissed.

Is there any way to allow rotation only inside movie player and once close is pressed rotation is always portrait without any animations?

try adding this function to your appDelegate:

func application(application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {

    if let navigationController = self.window?.rootViewController as? UINavigationController {

        if navigationController.visibleViewController is MobilePlayerViewController {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Landscape
        }

        else {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait
        }
    }

    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait
}
