Iphone SDK streaming the movies

Question

i want to stream/play some movies with iphone. I have implemented the MPMoviePlayerViewController like that:

MPMoviePlayerViewController* theMoviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL]; 
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:theMoviePlayer];

But the streaming/playing is too slow. I have a normal server, also it doesn't provide streaming options.

My question is : Must i have a stream-server or should i have configure something on my code?

Thanks, best regards.

Well, to determine whether the problem is with server or not, try to play some local video file on your host.
