Answer 1

If you are trying to play video from resource then you need mentioned this:

   [movieController setMovieSourceType:MPMovieSourceTypeFile];

This is my code. I have a button that show image an image for my video.

@property (nonatomic,strong) MPMoviePlayerController* moviePlayer;

add this to your .h file.

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.mydomain/video/1.mp4"];

_moviePlayer =  [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
                 initWithContentURL:url];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                           object:_moviePlayer];
CGRect frame = _btnVideo.frame;
[_moviePlayer.view setFrame:frame];
_moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleDefault;
_moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;
[self.view addSubview:_moviePlayer.view];
[_moviePlayer setFullscreen:NO animated:YES];

As per documentation, .m4v extension is not mentioned to play.

Answer 4

I did like this and it works fine:

NSString *videoFileName = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:videoName ofType:@"m4v" inDirectory:nil];

self.moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoFileName]];
[self.moviePlayerController setShouldAutoplay:YES];
[self.moviePlayerController prepareToPlay];
[self.moviePlayerController setFullscreen:NO];
[self.moviePlayerController.view setFrame:self.infoViewController.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:self.moviePlayerController.view];
[self.moviePlayerController play];
