ios - How to show MPMoviePlayerController in landscape mode

Question

i am working on a app where I am required to show "MPMoviePlayerController" in landscape mode and portrait mode. But My whole app is required to support Portrait mode only. That is no landscape mode for any view other than for the "MPMoviePlayerController".

I tried few things given over stack overflow. Nothing worked in my case. Feels Stuck in the middle. But I have seen some of the app supporting suck kind of requirements. I have to implement it for both iOS 6, 7

In my app am using "XCDYouTubeVideoPlayerViewController" for playing videos(playing the youtube videos)

Please Help

I had the same issue, and the following solved the problem:

First you need to allow the Landscape mode either, by checking the checkboxes at Target / General / Deployment Info / Device orientation, and then you have to disable Landscape orientation by code at every ViewController you use in your app.

#pragma mark - Set Supported Device Orientation

//For iOS6
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

//For iOS4 and iOS5
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

But don't disable landscape orientation for the XCYoutubeVideoPlayerViewController, so at fullscreen it can rotate to landscape.
