-(void)alertview:(uialertview *)alertview clickedbuttonatindex: (nsinteger)buttonindex{     if (buttonindex == 1) {         nsurl *url = [nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://srowley.co.uk/endyvid.mp4"];         mpmovieplayercontroller *player = [[[mpmovieplayercontroller alloc] initwithcontenturl:url] autorelease];          //---play movie---         [player setfullscreen:yes];         [self.view addsubview:[player view]];         nslog(@"player should play!");         [player play];      } } 

you need set frame on player's view.

    [[player view] setframe: [self.view bounds]];
