Try use NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithPath:urlStr];

instead of NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlStr]; It is a web url not a file url.

Check this video for reference. This works for me -

- (IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender
{
    NSString *filepath   =   @"http://easyhtml5video.com/images/happyfit2.mp4";
    NSURL    *fileURL    =   [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath];
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlaybackComplete:)
                                                               name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                                             object:moviePlayerController];

    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
    moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;
    [moviePlayerController play];
}

- (void)moviePlaybackComplete:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    MPMoviePlayerController *moviePlayerController = [notification object];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
                                         name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                                                                object:moviePlayerController];

    [moviePlayerController.view removeFromSuperview];
    [moviePlayerController release];
}
