Answer 1

Put this in your AppDelegate:

- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
    id presentedViewController = [window.rootViewController presentedViewController];
    NSString *className = presentedViewController ? NSStringFromClass([presentedViewController class]) : nil;

    if (window && [className isEqualToString:@"AVFullScreenViewController"]) {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
    } else {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
    }
}

Note: I have not tested this with iOS7 but works well with iOS8

Answer 2

In addition to this answer for iOS 7 and iOS 8

Put in AppDelegate. Work for iOS 7 and iOS 8:

- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {

    id presentedViewController = [window.rootViewController presentedViewController];
    NSString *className = presentedViewController ? NSStringFromClass([presentedViewController class]) : nil;


    if (window && ([className isEqualToString:@"MPInlineVideoFullscreenViewController"] || [className isEqualToString:@"AVFullScreenViewController"])) {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
    } else {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
    }

}
