Player isn't working unless in fullscreen mode + events questions

Hi..
I'm trying to implement the mobileios and I've been running in some issues.
When I try to put the player in a "subview" it doesn't receive any user input ( I just can't pause/play or do any of the actions ).
Here's my code:

        let videoURL = NSURL(string: url)!
        let player = MobilePlayerViewController(contentURL: videoURL,
            config: MobilePlayerConfig(fileURL: NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("PlayerSkin", withExtension: "json")!))

        player.title = media.title
        player.activityItems = [videoURL]
        player.view.frame = CGRect(x: 30, y: 25, width: 640, height: 360)

        container.addSubview(player.view) //container is a UIView inside my main controller

Another question: how can I listen to the player events? Like "onPlay", "onPause", "onProgress" and so on?

Thanks

@ThiagoMiranda super thank you, very detailed.

I will forward the error to our main engineer @isair , he will check it asap.

Are you adding the view controller as a child view controller?

Thanks for the reply. @sahin and @isair

For the first question for some reason when I did a refactor on my code ( initializing all of the project again ) and it worked. We don't seem to have the answer why this happened yet but it's working so be it =p
For the second one I'm using:

        notificationCenter.addObserverForName(
            MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification,
            object: player.moviePlayer,
            queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()) { notification in
                switch player.state {
                case .Playing:
                    eventType = "play"
                case .Paused:
                    eventType = "pause"
                case .Buffering:
                    eventType = "buffer"
                default:
                    break
                }
        }

Can I make two quick questions?
1- Do you have a "fullscreen" button? If it does, how can I show it? Or at least how can I trigger a fullscreen event? I've tried

    player.moviePlayer.setFullscreen(true, animated: false)

but it shows a black screen and pauses the video.

2- We wanna put a play and pause button right on the middle of the screen like this:

Do you guys have a "nice way" to do that or would be necessary to edit the framework itself?

Glad it's working! As for your questions

1. Sadly, we don't have a fullscreen button at the moment. If you replace our player view controller with a standard MPMoviePlayerViewController and you're not having this black screen issue, then it's certainly a bug and a separate issue for it should be created.

2. You can create an overlay with a play/pause button in it, then add it as a pre-roll and pause overlay.
