iOS MPMoviePlayerController for iPhone under iOS4, iOS4, and iPad

[newtoiphonesdk]

I have an app that I originally made before iOS4 was released. It has a video embedded in it, and to have it play in the iPad as well as the iPhone I had this code

- (IBAction)play {
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 30200
	
	if( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad )
	{
		NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
		NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"welcome" ofType:@"mp4"];
		NSURL  *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
		MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
		theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
		[theMovie play];
		MPMoviePlayerViewController *moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
		[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:moviePlayer];
	}
	else
	{
		NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
		NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"welcome" ofType:@"mp4"];
		NSURL  *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
		MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
		theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
		[theMovie play];
	}
	
#else
	
	// iPhone simulator
	NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
	NSString *moviePath = [bundle pathForResource:@"welcome" ofType:@"mp4"];
	NSURL  *movieURL = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:moviePath] retain];
	MPMoviePlayerController *theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:movieURL];
	theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFill;
	[theMovie play];
	
#endif
}

Now, I need the same code for iOS4, as I did the iPad, however it isn't working. How can I change this to play in the iPad, iOS4, and older iPhones still?

[button addTarget:self action:@selector(startPlayback:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
}

Is that something that can be applied in my IBAction I have built already for this?

iphone os4 :MPMoviePlayerController ->MPMoviePlayerViewController

-(void)myMovieFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
    MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie=[aNotification object];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:theMovie];
    [theMovie release];
	[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait animated:YES];
}

iphone os 4 should use this:

-(void)myMovieViewFinishedCallback:(NSNotification*)aNotification
{
    MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMovieView=[aNotification object];
	[self dismissMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:theMovieView];
    [theMovieView release];
	[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait animated:YES];
}

What about for early versions that aren't iOS4?
