I’ve tried the code published here but I changed the first line to:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas&fs=0"];

That doesn’t work for me, It just shows a black screen for a second and gets back to my application view.
What am I doing wrong?

Finally, I succeeded to play a movie on iPod touch with this code (the first one). Thank you so much.

Thanks for posting this, I was having a very hard time trying to figure out how to use MPMoviePlayerController with video on the iPad.

Apple has very poor documentation for usage of the media player framework for iPad.
