MPMoviePlayerController fires off MPMoviePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification when either the Prev or Next is tapped. There's no way to be notified whether each one is tapped.

The only way I found, was to create my own custom controls for backward and forward, adding a target to it to perform an action:

[prevBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:) 
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[nextBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(onClick:) 
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Then in your onClick method:

 (void)onClick:(UIButton*)sender
 {
     if (sender == prevBtn)
     {
        // Do whatever when prevBtn is tapped
     }
     else if (sender == nextBtn)
     {
        // Do whatever when nextBtn is tapped
     }    
 }

FYI: you must set the player's controlStyle property to MPMovieControlStyleNon to hide the default controls.
