iOS 5 and above: enable landscape mode in MPMoviePlayerController

I have an application entirely in portrait mode. (iOS 5 and above) I have a video played using MPMoviePlayerController, now in this video i want that when user rotates the iPhone, the video should go to landscape mode(in fullscreen). When video ends , again the video should go into portrait mode. Code:

    -(void)PlayVideo:(NSURL*)videoUrl
{


    moviePlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoUrl];
    [moviePlayerController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(6, 69, 309, 196)];
    [self.view addSubview:moviePlayerController.view];
    //    moviePlayerController.fullscreen = YES;


    moviePlayerController.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleNone;
    [self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.shareView];
    [self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.qualityView];

    [moviePlayerController play];

    // Register to receive a notification when the movie has finished playing.
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                             selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:)
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
                                               object:moviePlayerController];

}

Rest of the app, i want in portrait only. How do i achieve this?

I created Xcode project with sample of the video player. It can show video on full screen in landscape mode. You can download it . I hope it helps you.

And second. Instead of 

[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.shareView];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:self.qualityView];

you should write like this:

    [moviePlayerController.view insertSubview: self.shareView
                                      atIndex: 2];

    [moviePlayerController.view insertSubview: self.qualityView
                                      atIndex: 2];

then shareView and qualityView appears on top of the movie player.

First you need to set Support interface orientation to Portrait as well as Landscape

As shows here

Now in every UIViewController you need to override these methods -

for iOS 5 -

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return NO;
}

for iOS 6

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

In UIViewController where you are going to add MPMoviePlayerController override -

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return YES;
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
