Hi All,

I'm trying to play a M4V acquired from iTunes [1]. The movie is local
and was transferred into my sandbox using iTunes via file sharing.

Working from a Hillegass example ('Playing Movie Files', p. 294), the
player appears to load/display but does not play.

Unfortunately, PLAY is not documented [2]. In addition, I can't find a
delegate (as with other controllers) and there are no notifications
covering errors [2]. Finally, the error log is for network streams
[2].

How does one determine errors when using MPMoviePlayerController?

More philosophical: why are the APIs so inconsistent? Why is there no
readily apparent way to consistently retrieve error information
(Windows has GetLastError and Linux has errno)?
