Answer 1

1)First of all MPMoviePlayerController is deprecated so try avoid using it. 2)If you are playing video, then there is no need of playing video when app is moved to background.

• Lets free the resources for next or other application if there is no use of it.

3)Use AVPLayer for playing video/Audio. 4)if you want to continue playing media in background mode, You must enable background mode in info.plist file.
