You shouldn't have to create a new MPMoviePlayerController. Setting the contentURL to a different URL works fine. Something else must be going on at your end. As always, my advice is: make a new project, reduce this to the absolute simplest possible case (an MPMoviePlayerController, its view, two embedded movies, and two buttons) and convince yourself. m.
