MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification gets called when it shouldn't

Question

According to Apple\'s MPMoviePlayerController doc:

MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification - This notification is not sent in cases where the movie player is displayi

Answer 1

When you get the notification you can check the player's endPlaybackTime. If it's -1 then the movie finished all the way back naturally.

For streamed content, you can check the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishReasonUserInfoKey inside the userInfo on the MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification.

If it's equal to MPMovieFinishReasonUserExited then it's the user stopped playing the content.
