I created a fresh project with the following ViewController.m. When I run the app I can see a box of the expected origin/size (38, 100, 250, 163) but it is black and no video playing. There is a strange output in Xcode:

```
2012-08-23 15:36:45.559 VideoTest1[11398:c07] [MPAVController] Autoplay: Disabling autoplay for pause
2012-08-23 15:36:45.560 VideoTest1[11398:c07] [MPAVController] Autoplay: Disabling autoplay
2012-08-23 15:37:18.186 VideoTest1[11398:c07] [MPAVController] Autoplay: Skipping autoplay, disabled (for current item: 1, on player: 0)

```

Note that the video is converted with Videora iPhone Converter and plays ok in Xcode (so it is not a video problem); the path to the video is ok because when I specify demo-iPhone1 (which does not exist) I get a nil exception. I tried in Simulator and on iPhone: always black box. Any ideas? 

```

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

                                                  object:moviePlayerController];
