Question

i being trying to play video from lib but i cant figure out what im doing wrong i have tried many things and its not showing any kind of error my code is below

- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController *) picker
 didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *) info {

    NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];

    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:mediaType];

    NSLog(@"%@",url);

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];


    /* Create a new movie player object. */
    MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];

    if (player)
    {
               /* Specify the URL that points to the movie file. */
        [player setContentURL:url];





        /* Add a background view as a subview to hide our other view controls
         underneath during movie playback. */


        CGRect viewInsetRect = CGRectInset ([self.view bounds],
                                            kMovieViewOffsetX,
                                            kMovieViewOffsetY );
        /* Inset the movie frame in the parent view frame. */
        [[player view] setFrame:viewInsetRect];

        [player view].backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];

        /* To present a movie in your application, incorporate the view contained
         in a movie player’s view property into your application’s view hierarchy.
         Be sure to size the frame correctly. */
        [self.view addSubview: [player view]];


        [player setCurrentPlaybackRate:0.5];
        [player play];
    }







        // Register for the playback finished notification
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
         addObserver: self
         selector: @selector(myMovieFinishedCallback:)
         name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
         object: player];



}



// When the movie is done, release the controller.
-(void) myMovieFinishedCallback: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
    MPMoviePlayerController *playerr = [aNotification object];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                                  object:playerr];
    [playerr stop];
    [self.view removeFromSuperview];
    [playerr autorelease];
}

what happen is first presetModelViewController is getting displayed then i can shows videos which are in my lib i can select one of them but when i choose video then it shows my grey color view and nothing else and my video is not getting played.
