Answer 1

All. follow this answer to find the solution to this problem. devforums.apple.com/message/467199

I am on IOS 5 beta 2.

Answer 2

I got this because i had invalid parameters for movieSourceType, i thought you were supposed to put a MPMovieMediaTypeMask in there (video/audio,etc) but instead you are supposed to put a MPMovieSourceType. Fixing that made it work for me

Answer 3

try to check control style and source type. Im getting this error ,and when change source type to unknow(auto detect,maybe) It goes right.

Answer 4

I tried various solutions provided in apple dev forums. In my case what worked was just changing the source type from streaming to unknown:

// player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;

  player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeUnknown;

Answer 5

Use following statement to avoid such error. Please keep in mind that, THE sdk that you are using is under NDA.

[self.mPlayer.moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleDefault];
