iOS trying to play video with MPMoviePlayerController just gives me black screen

I'm trying to use a MPMoviePlayerController to play a movie, but all I get is a black screen. Any ideas why this is? Here's the code I'm using.

Code:

- (void)playVideo:(ChatMessage *)msg {
    NSURL *movieURL = msg.videoURL;
    self.player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
    [self.player prepareToPlay];
    [self.player.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];  
    [self.player play];
}

Thanks for any help...
