MPMoviePlayerViewController* moviePlayerViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:myChartlyObj.video_url]];
moviePlayerViewController.view.backgroundColor = moviePlayerViewController.view.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"st-screen.png"]];//[UIColor blackColor];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerViewController];
//[self presentModalViewController:moviePlayerViewController animated:YES];
[moviePlayerViewController release];
this is how it gets presented. not sure why it would crash in horizontal orientation randomly?
Only crashes on device, no crash logs generated. Weird.
