Assume iOS 3.2 or later. What is the proper sequence of command to play a move with the controls initially hidden. When the movie is playing, the user has the option to tag
[Update] As proposed by @ReinYem, a much better solution is to rely on a MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification instead of a timer.
Actually, the following solution should not be considered anymore:
Set controlStyle property to MPMovieControlStyleNone initially, and then set it to MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen one second later using a [performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:1].
It works well, controls do not appear until user taps on video.
