MPMoviewPlayerController fullscreen playback rotation with underlying UIViewController with portrait mode only (rotation disallowed)

Question

Hallo,

I have a simple application, which does contain UITabBarController with two UIViewControllers. Both UIViewControllers are portrait only (no rotation allowed).

Register for MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification and MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification in app delegate and handle the orientation using an instance variable.

-(void)moviePlayerFullScreen:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    if ([notification.name isEqualToString:@"MPMoviePlayerWillEnterFullscreenNotification"]) {

        self.supportedOrientation=UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;

    }
    else if ([notification.name isEqualToString:@"MPMoviePlayerWillExitFullscreenNotification"])
    {
        self.supportedOrientation=UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;

    }
 }
 - (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window  {
    return self.supportedOrientation;
}
