NSNotification, not receiving callback

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];      
}

MPMoviePlayerController posts notifications MPMoviePlayerViewController does NOT post notifications

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

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".

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