MPMoviePlayerViewController in landscape / all orientations

My questions is really simple, tutorials and answers didn't fix my problem.

I have an app with settings:

enter image description here

I want support only Portrait/Upside Down orientations in all my viewControllers except when I want to play video via:

MPMoviePlayerViewController

Here is code:

MPMoviePlayerViewController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[Videos videoURL:video.hash]];
if (mp) {
    isVideoPlaying = YES;

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     addObserver:self
     selector:@selector(videoFinishedPlaying:)
     name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
     object:mp.moviePlayer];

    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mp];
    mp.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
    [mp.moviePlayer play];
    [mp release];
}

When MPMoviePlayerViewController plays video I want support all orientations.
Need your help.

You should permit rotation by the following:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
     // Return YES for supported orientations
}

IOS 6:

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{

    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

put the code in the .m file where you call the player

Hi all I had same problem I resolved it -

You need to first change in appdelegate:

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
if ([[[NowPlaying sharedManager] playerViewController] allowRotation])//Place your condition here
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

Register Notifications for the full screen control:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification
                                           object:nil];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(moviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification
                                           object:nil];

Then add line of code in the player controller:

- (void)moviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification:(NSNotification *)notification
{
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
               {
                   self.allowRotation = YES;
               });
}



- (void)moviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification:(NSNotification *)notification
{
self.allowRotation = NO;
[self.moviePlayerController setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
               {

                   //Managing GUI in pause condition
                       if (self.currentContent.contentType == TypeVideo && self.moviePlayerController.playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStatePaused)
                   {
                       [self.moviePlayerController pause];
                       if (self.playButton.selected)
                           self.playButton.selected = NO;
                   }
                   self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0);
                   [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
                   self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height);
               });
}

This code is tested in iOS6 and iOS7 working fine. Thanks
