Playing video in custom size screen - view in iPhone

Question

Suppose user taps on a button and video begins to play. Now when video plays, it always in full screen mode.

Video should be played in a portrait mode (but normally video is played in landscape mode). How can I do this?

Answer 1

@interface MPMoviePlayerController (extend) 
 -(void)setOrientation:(int)orientation animated:(BOOL)value; 
@end 

moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieUR]; 
[moviePlayer setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationPortrait animated:NO]; 
if (moviePlayer) 
{ 
    [self.moviePlayer play]; 
} 

This Solution will be rejected by Apple, as setOrientation for movie player is the Private API. You need to be careful, but it may work on Jailbroke iPhones.
