Getting video to play in simulator

Question

So I have an alert view pop up in my application and on clicking a view button a video is supposed to play but nothing happens in the simulator. I don't want to test this on a device until I get it working in the simulator. This is the code below as far as I can tell it should work. It reaches the Log statement and outputs to the console but the video does not play. Any ideas?

-(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 to set the frame on player's view.

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