    videoPath = [videoPath stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:videoPath];
    MPMoviePlayerController *mpPlayer = [[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:url] autorelease]; 
    mpPlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100);
    [self.view addSubview:mpPlayer.view];
    NSLog(@"duration = %f",mpPlayer.duration);
    [mpPlayer play];

//add notifications


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

- (void)MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {

    if ((moviePlayer.loadState & MPMovieLoadStatePlaythroughOK) == MPMovieLoadStatePlaythroughOK) {
duration = mpPlayer.duration;
NSLog(@"duration = %f",mpPlayer.duration);
}
}

Hints:

The duration may not be available prior to the actual playback -> check the duration again when receiving a MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification (MPMoviePlayerController.playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStatePlaying) to be on the safe side.

Pls check if the path for the video is correct and check if the player is allocated with the correct file url
