Answer 1

Previous answer was based on timer. & fixed 5 seconds.

When Movie player begins, a new window is added to application.

Use a timer to check weather a new window is added to your application or not.

When a window ( movie player window ) is added. set notifications.

-(void)viewDidLoad{

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(moviePreloadDidFinish:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerContentPreloadDidFinishNotification 
                                               object:nil];

    // Register to receive a notification when the movie has finished playing. 
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(moviePlayBackDidFinish:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification 
                                               object:nil];

    // Register to receive a notification when the movie scaling mode has changed. 
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
                                             selector:@selector(movieScalingModeDidChange:) 
                                                 name:MPMoviePlayerScalingModeDidChangeNotification 
                                               object:nil];
    videoListController.xmlClassVideoList=t;
    // here ttttt is a timer declared in .h file
    tttttt=[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self      selector:@selector(startMy) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];  
}

-(void)startMy{
    NSArray *windows = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows];  
    NSLog(@"%i",[windows count]);
    // depends on your application window
    // it may be 1/2/3
    if ([windows count] > 3) {
        // Locate the movie player window
        [tttttt invalidate];
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyWindowChanged:) name:UIWindowDidBecomeKeyNotification object:nil];
    }
}
