    NSURL *url_vdo=[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"url"];
    moviePlayer=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url_vdo];

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

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:moviePlayer];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDonePressed:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:moviePlayer];
    moviePlayer.controlStyle=MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen;

    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];

Answer 1

NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://url.m3u8"];
MPMoviePlayerController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];

if (mp)
{
    mp.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
    [self.view addSubview:mp.view];

    // save the movie player object
    [mp setFullscreen:YES];

    // Play the movie!
    [mp play];

    self.moviePlayer = mp;
}

Answer 2

Try to change this line:

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

With this line:

[moviePlayer.view setFrame: self.view.frame];
