IOS 3.2 MPMoviePlayerControler Controls do no disapear as advertised

Question

Hello there,

i was having problems to make the MPMoviePlayerController controls disappear. I tried to do it via:

...
MPMoviePlayerController *mplayer;
[mplayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
...

The problem is however that the controls appear for a brief second. I don't want to make my app look unprofessional so making them disappear completely is what i aim for. There is a suggestion for a solution to this problem, but i in my tests it didn't work. I also tried the old var for solving this but no effect in this case either

mplayer.movieControlMode = MPMovieControlModeHidden; // old var

If anyone can give me hint on how to solve this it would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

If anyone is interested you can solve this by NOT using the MPMoviePlayerViewController. Just use the MPMoviePlayerController and it works. Don't know why ...

Much thanks to the ppl on #iphonedev who gave me the tip.
