MPMoviePlayerController won't play when using Storyboard / Shows black screen - ios

Question

I was trying to play a video in background in my app, but it didn't work when I was using Storyboard. I read something about ARC and tried everything, but my video won't simply play. I tried the exact same thing but with another project where I deleted the Storyboard-file, and there it worked. I need to use this in my project where I'm using Storyboard. Please help me.
Here's the code:
ViewController.m:
#import "AnimatedLoginViewController.h"
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
#interface ViewController (){
MPMoviePlayerController *player;
}
#property (nonatomic, strong) MPMoviePlayerController *player;
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize player;
- (void)viewDidLoad
