UIMoviePlayerControllerDidEnterFullscreenNotification doesn't work in iOS8

The implementation by markussvensson has some false alarms, since any UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification is considered as a full screen video playback which is not true.

The implementation "AVPlayerItemBecameCurrentNotification" by Selvin can catch movie playback start, but cannot catch movie playback stop.

So I combined both implementations and it works as expected.

1. Add observer to both AVPlayerItemBecameCurrentNotification & UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification;

2. When AVPlayerItemBecameCurrentNotification happens, set a flag;

3. When UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification happens, check the flag to see if it is a "video stop playing event".

BTW, AVPlayerItemBecameCurrentNotification is undocumented and might be broken for the next iOS major release.

I have the same problem. I have found no real solution, but I was able to work around it with UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification / UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification notifications.

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(windowVisible:)
                                             name:UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification
                                           object:self.view.window];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(windowHidden:)
                                             name:UIWindowDidBecomeHiddenNotification
                                           object:self.view.window];

- (void)windowVisible:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    NSLog(@"-windowVisible");
}

- (void)windowHidden:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    NSLog(@"-windowHidden");
}
