MPMoviePlayerController - Detect and Differ Prev/Next buttons

I've achieved detecting the click of prev/next button by following code, but still haven't found an way to distinguish the two clicks.

in @implementation MyMovieController : MPMoviePlayerController

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieChangeCallBack:)
     name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification object:nil];

and define - (void) movieChangeCallBack:(NSNotification*) aNotification

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

    if (self.playbackState == MPMoviePlaybackStateStopped)
    {
        //Touched 'Previous' or 'Next' button.
    }
}

Is there a way to tell whether the 'previous' or 'next' button is clicked? Thanks :)

MPMoviePlayerController/MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(3_2, 9_0) is deprecated. You should switch over to AVPlayer.

Unfortunately, MPMoviePlayerController, by default, fires off MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification when either the Prev or Next is tapped. There's no way to uniquely be notified whether each one is tapped.

The only way I found, was to create my own custom controls for backward and forward, adding a target to it to perform an action:

[prevBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:) 
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[nextBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:) 
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Then in your onClick method:

 (void)onClick:(UIButton*)sender
 {
     if (sender == prevBtn)
     {
        // Do whatever when prevBtn is tapped
     }
     else if (sender == nextBtn)
     {
        // Do whatever when nextBtn is tapped
     }    
 }

FYI: you must set the player's controlStyle property to MPMovieControlStyleNon to hide the default controls.
