My DVD Library Xcode Project

Thanks for the great tutorial!  There are too few resources for using plists with tableviews.  I am curious about your comment that the "DetailViewController should really be a subclass of UIView that would provide a lot more flexibility in laying out your data".  Would you be willing to show a quick example of this?

Thanks!

sure. what i meant was that you would just use a plain UIView where you would lay out your UI elements for that detail page. In my particular example, you'd have an UIImageView to display the DVD cover and a few UILabel-s that would display all your data. Maybe I can build that out in the next tutorial as a replacement for the table view I'm unnecessarily using instead.

Hi Vladimir,
Is it a hard job to put the Testdata.plist file on a webserver, the images as URLs and view  extracts of the video on the iphone ?

you mean you want to download the data dynamically? if so, you want to look into NSURLConnection class. i wrote a simply helper class for myself a while ago that takes a url as a param and then asynchronously downloads the target. it then calls a callback method you specify. the code isn't ready to be published so i may get it out there once i clean it up.

hope this helps.
