NSNotification, not receiving callback

Question

Can't figure out why I'm not getting my callback - any advice?

-(void) playMovieWithURL:(NSURL *)url {

    [currentVC.view removeFromSuperview];

    MPMoviePlayerViewController *movieControl = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];

    //register for playback finished call
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieFinished:) name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:movieControl];

    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:movieControl];       
}

-(void) movieFinished:(NSNotification *)aNotification {

    NSLog(@"received callback that movie finished");

    MPMoviePlayerController *movie = [aNotification object];

    [movie.view removeFromSuperview];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification object:movie];

    [movie release];

    [self.view addSubview:currentVC.view];      
}

Answer 1

Wild guess, but maybe you want MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification instead of MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification ?

Answer 2

I don't know much about the MP API, but you're registering for the notification in a reasonable way. Are you sure that MPMoviePlayerDidExitFullscreenNotification is the notification you want? That (by name alone) doesn't appear to be equivalent to "movie finished".

Answer 3

MPMoviePlayerController posts notifications MPMoviePlayerViewController does NOT post notifications

So I suppose I'll just switch over to using MPMoviePlayerControllers in this particular case.
