Answer 1

The solution is create a property to retain the MPMoviePlayerController class

@property (nonatomic, retain) MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController;

and use the property in your controller

self.moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];

[_viewMediaPlayer addSubview:self.moviePlayerController.view];

there is a bug in iOS6 and the MPMoviePlayerController is deallocated when entry in fullscreen mode http://openradar.appspot.com/12327997
