play video using url ios 6

I am struggling to play a video which is a url of the video file on a server. I have a view in which I display url from the web service. When I click the url(contained in a table cell) I want that a new view should appear with movie player on it playing the video. I have tried MPMoviePlayerViewController and also MPMoviePlayerController and various combinations of the two but I could not play the video on simulator. Currently I don't have a device so please consider simulator as well as device while answering. Currently i am using:

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];
self.player= [[ MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
//self.player.navigationController.navigationBar.hidden = YES;
[self.player.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
//self.player.moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
self.player.moviePlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
self.player.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
self.player.moviePlayer.fullscreen = NO;
[self presentModalViewController:self.player animated:NO];
[self.player.moviePlayer play];

filepath is a nsstring containing the video url.

Replace your this line : NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath];

with this: NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]; & then try.

My Code I am using MPMOVIEPLAYERVIEWCONTROLLER:

    NSData *geturl = [[videoparsing objectAtIndex:btntag]objectForKey:@"iurl"];
    myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:geturl encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"myString..%@",myString);
    NSURL *fileURL=[NSURL URLWithString:myString];
    NSLog(@"fileURL..%@",fileURL);
    moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayerController];
    [moviePlayerController.moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
    moviePlayerController.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;
    [moviePlayerController.moviePlayer play];

If video file is on server then

NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:filePath];

other should be change movieSourceType to MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming : 

self.player.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;

Also 

self.player.moviePlayer.fullscreen = YES;

EDIT : Add :

  self.player.moviePlayer.shouldAutoplay=YES;

remove :

 [self.player.moviePlayer play];
