Why can't I retrieve UIDeviceOrientation correctly while playing a movie in MPMoviePlayerController?

Question

Everything works fine while I'm not playing anything (I'm calling beginnotifications, etc, and using the orientation to rotate my view). But after I start playing with MPMoviePlayerController everytime when I try

UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

The orientation gets a UIDeviceOrientationUnknown.

Any clue? When the movie stops everything works alright again. I need this orientation to rotate the player's window, because Im using Iphone OS 3.1 so I can't directly use the view property inside MPMovie player controller.

I am sorry I cannot be of help, but I am getting the same problem. Only after the movie player. Did you ever find and answer for this?
