How to hide control before MPMoviePlayerController movie is played?

Question

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

Answer 1

player.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;

Is the newest way to do it. :)

Answer 2

Use a callback instead of a timer :

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(hidecontrol) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification 
                                               object:playerView.moviePlayer];

With call back function :

- (void) hidecontrol {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self     name:MPMoviePlayerNowPlayingMovieDidChangeNotification object:playerView.moviePlayer];
[playerView.moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen];

}

Answer 3

[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.
