Trouble presenting MPMoviePlayerViewController, or MoviePlayerController in fullscreen - iphone

Question

I'm trying to create a movie to play when my app starts up. The first view Controller is a UITabBarController. In the code for the view controller for the first tab, is where I put my movie. This dummy code works (setting the frame to be smaller than the full screen and just showing the video):
- (void)PlayOpeningMovie {
NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"m4v"];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
// MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
[moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(120, 120, 300, 200)];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:moviePlayerController];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
// [moviePlayerController setFullscreen:YES];
// [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
[moviePlayerController play];
// [[moviePlayerController moviePlayer] play];
}
However, if I switch it around, comment out the setFrame method, and use the fullscreen property, I do not see the movie.
I was also playing around with creating a MPMovieplayerViewController and presenting that modally with the method for the MPMoviePlayerViewControllers, but it never gets presented and I can't figure out why. I tried creating a dummy viewController with a yellow background as well, and presenting that modally and that does not work either.
I have tried adding a dummy UIView to the screen, and that works.
So for some reason, I can get small UIViews/MPMoviePlayers to show with addSubview. I cannot get the presentModal__ to work. I cannot get fullscreen mode to work for the MoviePlayerController. I'm really stumped as to why I cannot present modally from this view. Thanks.

Answer 1

[moviePlayerController setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];
[moviePlayerController setFullscreen:YES];
Just add this two lines to present it in full screen.
