title: change background color of video iPad/iPhone
body: <p>with the following method I play a video:  (using the #import  framework)</p>
  
  <p>MPMoviePlayerController *player;</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(IBAction) playMovie: (NSString*) videoName ViedeoType:(NSString*) videoType{
  
    ViewVideoSubview.alpha = 0;
  
    NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] 
                     pathForResource:videoName 
                     ofType:videoType];
  
    player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
    [ViewVideoSubview addSubview:player.view];
    ....
    ....
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the video plays fine. I am wondering if it possible to change the background color of the video from black to white? </p>
  
  <p>the video plays in the black rectangle:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q1LKu.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I have tried stuff like <code>player.backgroundView.alpha = 0;</code> but that has not worked. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT :</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[[player backgroundView] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and that changes the background color but the area between the video and the player.view</p>
