Answer 1

if you want to have any controlStyle of apple and still want to add some custom buttons on movie view. You can subclass MPMoviePlayerViewController.

Let say you have MyCustomMoviePlayerViewController as subclass of MPMoviePlayerViewController then in MyCustomMoviePlayerViewController.m

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
     [super viewDidAppear:animated];
     UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    [button addTarget:self 
               action:@selector(aMethod:)
    forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [button setTitle:@"MyCustomButton" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    button.frame = CGRectMake(80.0, 210.0, 160.0, 40.0);
    [self.view addSubview :button];
    }

Answer 2

You can surely add custom controls for MPMoviePlayerController. For that first hide existing controls using, MPMovieControlStyle, set this to MPMovieControlStyleNone

Now add your custom control buttons and handle all the MoviePlayer events over there, like;

• Play
• Pause
• Stop
• Prev
• Next, etc.
• Or you can add your own controls like jump to this time (+10 sec, +20 sec), movie speed control (1x, 2x, ..), etc.

Hope this will be useful for you.
