NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "doneButtonClick:", name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification, object: nil) var url = NSURL(string: "http://jplayer.org/video/m4v/Big_Buck_Bunny_Trailer.m4v")! movieViewController = MPMoviePlayerViewController(contentURL: url) } After that add this...

You are adding player view as subview. You should remove it (removeFromSuperview) after done button pressed. Use notifications to listen for playback finish: NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver( self, selector: "moviePlayBackDidFinish:", name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification, object: moviePlayer) and moviePlayBackDidFinish: func moviePlayBackDidFinish(notification: NSNotification){ // remove from superview } ...
