MPMoviePlayerController Stack Overflow

Question

I'm trying to use MPMoviePlayerController in a fairly simple iPhone app. The basic layout is an UIApplicationDelegate associated with a UIWindow xib file. Within the "applicationDidFinishLaunching" method, I'm trying to play a movie with the following code:

// Path to the movie
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"logoscreen" ofType:@"m4v"];      
movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

// Setup the player
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];

// Use the new 3.2 style API  
moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;  
moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay = YES;  
[window addSubview:moviePlayer.view];  

[moviePlayer setFullscreen:YES animated:YES];  

When this executes, I get an "EXC_BAD_ACCESS" error, and the GDB loads a huge stack (with the "_makeSubtreePerformSelector" method repeating several thousand times:

It's worth noting that if I try the code that plays the movie based on a click event, it works just fine. It's almost like the application hasn't finished "wiring" something up yet in regards to the window hierarchy? Has anyone encountered anything like this before?

Maybe you should try setting animated to No.
