iOS Play Stream

[SuperKid]

As I said in another post I am currently learning Objective-C and have got quite far with it, but having some trouble trying to play a radio stream this is what I have

MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://127.0.0.1:8000"]];
	player.shouldAutoplay = false;
	player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeStreaming;
	[player prepareToPlay];
	[player play];

It will play, but then stop playing after 2 - 3 seconds about not enough buffered and not able to keep up. Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how I "pre-buffer" before playing so it can keep up with the stream?

Thanks!

EDIT: Figured it out using the AudioToolKit and the AVPlayer and AVPlayerItem classes that apple provide which also allows background playing when the app is quit!
