title: play mp4 movie with MPMoviePlayerController xamarin ios
body: <p>i need to stream a movie in my ios app using MPMoviePlayerController.</p>
  
  <p>this movie works fine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>moviePlayer = new MPMoviePlayerController(new NSUrl("http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8"));
              View.AddSubview(moviePlayer.View);
              moviePlayer.SetFullscreen(true, true);
              moviePlayer.Play();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this one does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>moviePlayer = new MPMoviePlayerController(new NSUrl("http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"));
              View.AddSubview(moviePlayer.View);
              moviePlayer.SetFullscreen(true, true);
              moviePlayer.Play();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the official <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MediaPlayer/Reference/MPMoviePlayerController_Class/" rel="nofollow">MPMoviePlayerController documentation,</a> says that mp4 is supported too, so i don't know the reason why it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>the device shows the player, but it doesn't start anything.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
