Question

I present one controller to play video:

  [self presentModalViewController:movieController animated:YES];

and add an observer when finish palying:

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieFinishedPlayback:) 
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];
    }

    -(void) movieFinishedPlayback:(NSNotification*)notification{
        NSLog(@"........movieFinishedPlayback....... \n ");
        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:nil];
    }

This my VideoDetailViewController:

#import "VideoDetailViewController.h"
#import "PSStackedView.h"
#import "YunMaoIpadAppDelegate.h"

#define IpadAppDelegate ((YunMaoIpadAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate])
#define IphoneAppDelegate ((YunMaoIosAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate])

@interface VideoDetailViewController ()

@end

@implementation VideoDetailViewController

@synthesize video, moviePlayer, collectionsArray;

-(id)initWithVideo:(Video *)theVideo
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:@"VideoDetailViewController" bundle:nil];
    if (self) {
        self.video = theVideo;
    }
    return self;
}

Answer 1

This worked for me.

[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:^{
    [self.view removeFromSuperview];
}];

Hope it helps!
