MPMoviePlayerController loadState doesn't switch to MPMovieLoadStatePlayable - iphone

Question

I have a MPMoviePlayerViewController to play Movies in fullscreen. I checked the movies they play fine via Quicktime.
The Problem is, that using the MPMoviePlayerViewController (Simulator and device) the Movie doesn't start playing(it's a video that is stored locally on the iPad btw).
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:resource ofType:#"mov"];
self.mpviewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:path]];
[self.mpviewController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.controlStyle = [self presentModalViewController:self.mpviewController animated:YES];
NSLog(#"%d",self.mpviewController.moviePlayer.loadState);
[self.mpviewController.moviePlayer play];
Any Ideas what I am missing ?

well, I dont know what it was. I ended up writing a new view controller with this code - that worked:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:self.urlPath];
self.playerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 748);
self.playerController.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeNone;
[self.playerController.view setFrame:bounds];
[self.view addSubview:self.playerController.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayerDidExitFullscreenCallback:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.playerController];
self.playerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;
[self.playerController setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];
[self.playerController play];
