Answer 1

try with this: (I have made a subclass for MPMoviePlayerViewController)

- (void)configureSubViews
{
    if (self.moviePlayer.view.subviews.count > 0)
    {
        UIView *view = self.moviePlayer.view.subviews[0];
        if (view.subviews.count > 0)
        {
            UIView *sView = view.subviews[0];
            self.viewPlayerVideoContent = [sView viewWithTag:1002];
            self.viewPlayerControls     = [sView viewWithTag:1003];
        }
    }
}

I don't really like to work in that way with the subViews, but it works.. (at least for iOS5 and iOS6)

then, you could try to rotate the viewPlayersVideoContent :)
