ios6 moviePlayer first frame not appearing upon creation - ios

Question

I have methods inside my open class controller that instantiates a moviePlayer, which is set to 'autoPlay = NO';
I have added the movieplayer.view as a subview of the controllers view, configured it and created a full screen button on top for starting the video. Since iOS4.3, this has been working fine. The button is transparent and the first frame of the video showed through ( which was a picture of a custom Automoble Auto-Start button).
Since iOS6, I only get a black screen.
Clicking the image-button does start the video as it should; calls [moviePlayer play]
Has something changed that I have not taken into consideration?
I have provided the two sections of code I think are necessary.
#define INTRO_MOVIE #"Intro.mov"
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
if(SHOULD_PLAY_INTRO_VIDEO)//Debug switch to ignore the intro video
{
// Prepare the movie and player
[self configureIntroMoviePlayer];
[self.view addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:moviePlayer.view];
// Add and Show the Start Button to start the App
[self configureStartButton];
[self.view addSubview:startButton];
}
}
-(void)configureIntroMoviePlayer
{
LOGINFO
// Prepare the Intro Video
NSString *pathToIntroVideo = [ mainFilePath_ stringByAppendingPathComponent: INTRO_MOVIE];
NSURL *URLToIntroVideo = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathToIntroVideo];
moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:URLToIntroVideo];
[moviePlayer setShouldAutoplay:NO];
moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, -20, 1024, 768);
[moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
//fixing video brightness Difference with iPad2
if(isIpad2)
{
moviePlayer.backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
moviePlayer.view.alpha = .99;
}
// Create the sKip button for cancelling the Intro Video
skipIntro = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[skipIntro showsTouchWhenHighlighted];
skipIntro.frame = CGRectMake(900, 20, 111, 57);
[skipIntro addTarget:self action:#selector(skipIntroWasPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}

Answer 1

I am not sure why I got a -1 rating for this question for lack of research or clarity?
Maybe I do not know the proper usage of this forum.
I apologize.
I did find that adding [moviePlayer prepareToPlay] solved the problem. Like I said, it was odd that the first frame always showed up prior to iOS 6.

Have you tried:
[moviePlayer.view addSubView:startButton];
