Answer 1

by the way here's how i use mpmovieplayercontroller for streaming :
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:videoUrl];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleDefault];
moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
CGRect frame;
if(self.interfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
frame = CGRectMake(20, 69, 280, 170);
else if(self.interfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || self.interfaceOrientation ==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
frame = CGRectMake(20, 61, 210, 170);
[moviePlayer.view setFrame:frame]; // player's frame must match parent's
[self.view addSubview: moviePlayer.view];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:moviePlayer.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayer];
[moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
[moviePlayer play];
and then here's the delegate method :
- (void) moviePlayBackDidFinish:(NSNotification*)notification {
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [notification object];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
removeObserver:self
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:player];
if ([player respondsToSelector:#selector(setFullscreen:animated:)]){
//self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
[player.view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
hope this will help you..

As far as I know you have 2 options:
1) First download the file and play it locally. Like this:
NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"cwtvideo" ofType:#"mp4"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
2) Use the HTTP streaming protocol. As far as I know HTTP streaming is the only streaming protocol known by the MPMoviePlayerController.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
