MPMoviePlayerController fullscreen in landscape mode in a portrait project

Question

in my app i have selected only the portrait mode in the project setting:

and i use it in this way:

player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
[player setContentURL:videoURL];
[player play];

but when i display a video using MPMoviePlayerController in full screen and i try to rotate it, doens't rotate, and stay in portrait, there is a simple way without enable the landscape mode in the project setting, to active the landscape in fullscreen?

You have 2 options:

1. Enable landscape mode in the project settings and override supportedInterfaceOrientations for your view controllers.
2. In your app delegate, add the application:supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: method and, when playing a movie, make sure that this returns UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown.
