Playing video in Landscape and portrait

Question

I have my app in portrait mode.

When video player enters full screen mode, I want to play that video in both landscape and portrait orientation.

moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
[moviePlayer.view setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth)];

[moviePlayer setScalingMode:MPMovieScalingModeFill];

moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.videoPlayerView.frame.size.width, self.videoPlayerView.frame.size.height);
[self.videoPlayerView addSubview:moviePlayer.view];

and I am playing it on one button.

Title of Question should be to the point. and use some explanation in the body of Question. — Mrug, May 25 '15 at 08:49
Did you just try and run the app and then turned the simulator? or the actual device? — Julian E., May 25 '15 at 09:27

Enable your Landscape Device Orientation in Deployment Info. Then, add these methods in your ViewController:

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

- (UIInterfaceOrientation) preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}

Try to add a canvas view as superview to your player and apply transformation to the canvas view.

- (void)initialize{    
    self.canvas = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: self.view.bounds];
    [self.view addSubview:self.canvas];

    // init moviePlayer
    moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];
    ...
    [self.canvas addSubview: moviePlayer.view];

    // Add observers
    ...
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
                     selector: @selector(deviceOrientationDidChange)
                         name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification
                       object: nil];
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
}

- (void)deviceOrientationDidChange{
    // Apply rotation only in full screen mode
    if (self.isFullScreen) {
        UIDeviceOrientation currentOrientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;

        [UIView animateWithDuration: 0.3 
                         animations: ^{
             CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0);
             switch (orientation) {
                 case UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
                     transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI_2);
                 break;
                 case UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight:
                     transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI + M_PI_2);
                 break;
                 default:
                 break;
            };

            self.canvas.transform = transform;
            self.canvas.frame = self.canvas.superview.bounds;
        }];
    }
}
