Answer 1

You need to use AVPlayerLayer, add this

AVPlayerLayer *playerLayer=[AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:player];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:playerLayer];

to your code.

Have you try to use MPMoviePlayerController as like below

    MPMoviePlayerController * _player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlaybackComplete:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlaybackChanged:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];

    CGRect frame = self.frame;

    frame.origin = CGPointZero;

    _player.view.frame = frame;

    [self.view addSubview:_player.view];

    [_player prepareToPlay];

    [_player play];

Try this one ..

MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];
player.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,45, 1024, 723); // take your require frame size of player
[player.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
player.repeatMode=MPMovieRepeatModeNone;
[self.view addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
