Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Calling -setFullscreen:animated: sometimes works, and sometimes is ignored.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Alloc and init an MPMoviePlayerController with a valid file or stream URL
2. Install MPMoviePlayerController's view into view controllers hierarchy in -viewDidLoad
3. call -setFullscreen:YES animated:NO

Expected Results:
When view controller loads, you have a full screen video playback view 

Actual Results:
No fullscreen view. MPMoviePlayerController's view is installed and embedded in the view hierarchy.

Regression:

Do all of the above, but call -setFullscreen: from an NSTimer and it'll work just fine.

Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following information:

The video view needs to be in a window and the video needs to be prepared to play before calling setFullscreen:YES.
