MPMoviePlayerController shows blank white screen before launch?

Question

I have an MPMoviePlayerController that I am presenting modally. The video loads fine, however just before the video is launched the screen turns white until it has loaded. How can I prevent this from happening?

moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:mySTVideo.video_url]];

[self presentModalViewController:moviePlayerViewController animated:YES];

Answer 1

First, you should be using this for display the movies:

[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];

Second, to change the moviePlayerViewController background you can use:

moviePlayerViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];

So when the video is launched the background color will be black.

Hope its helps...
