MPMoviePlayerController and let the user replay

I have an iOS app with a MPMoviePlayerController, I need to play a video from an URL. Everything seems to work fine, but when the playback ends the MPMoviePlayerController shows a weird image and it takes AGES to replay the video...

This is what I have so far:

mp =  [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(moviePlayerLoadStateChanged:)
                                             name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification
                                           object:nil];

And the moviePlayerLoadStateChanged and moviePlayBackDidFinish look like this:

- (void) moviePlayerLoadStateChanged:(NSNotification*)notification
{
    if ([mp loadState] != MPMovieLoadStateUnknown)
    {
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]removeObserver:self
                                                name:MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification
                                              object:nil];

        [mp setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded];
        [mp setFullscreen:NO];
        [mp.view setFrame:CGRectMake(10, 54, 300, 200)];
        [mp setShouldAutoplay:NO];
        [mp prepareToPlay];

        [[self view] addSubview:[self.mp view]];
    }   
}

I don't know what that Image is, but I would like to replace it... also I think it takes so much because it's loading the video from a URL, I don't know how to add a loading, or a spinner... Any idea?

You could set the repeatMode property of your MPMoviePlayerController to MPMovieRepeatModeOne

by using:

mp = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc]
          initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]];///Put your path to your resource
mp.moviePlayer.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatModeOne;

I hope this helps if i understood your question correctly. If not i recommend checking out the documentation HERE

Happy coding:)
