MPMoviePlayerController preload progress

Question

Is there a way of getting the preload progress of a MPMoviePlayerController?

At the moment I'm listening to for MPMoviePlayerLoadStateDidChangeNotification and showing a UIActivityView until the loadState is MPMovieLoadStatePlayable || MPMovieLoadStatePlaythroughOK.

However this can take a few seconds so I'd like to show a UIProgressView instead, so that the end user can I get an idea of how long they have to wait before the video will start.

Is this possible without using private calls (the app will be submitted to the app store)?

This functionality is not available. If you feel that it should be then please file a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com. Apple keeps track of what people request and if there is sufficient interest they will add this.
