iPad live streaming not working

I am working on a universal app to which runs some live video streams.I prefer using webview as MPMoviePlayerController has always given me headahes.But video doesnt play on iPad (Both simulator and device)but it does work on iPhone.However if i load it using safari it loads perfectly.Any suggestions please?

Here is what i am doing

movieURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"my-stream-URL"];

NSURLRequest *开发者_如何转开发req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:movieURL];
[webView_ loadRequest:req];

The best way to do this is ofcourse use MPMoviePlayerController.I however was reluctant to use it as it wasnt allowing me the orientation with tabs(As all tabs must be orienting).So I used another view controller using as a basecontroller added it on tab and then pushed a ModelViewController over it and acheived complete orientation
