MPMoviePlayerController Done button doesn't work on iOS 5.0; worked in iOS 4.3

Question

Previously the "Done" button worked fine with no problems in iOS 4.3--it would dismiss the view and allow the user to select a different video. Now that I've upgraded to iOS 5.0, the "Done" button simply causes the screen the go black while keeping the controls. Here is the code that is called when I hit the "Done" button:

// When the movie is done, release the controller.
-(void) myMovieFinishedCallback: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
    MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie = [aNotification object];

    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     removeObserver: self
     name: MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
     object: theMovie];

    [theMovie setFullscreen:YES animated:NO];
    [theMovie.view removeFromSuperview];    

    [theMovie release];

    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO];  
}

Does anyone have any ideas as to why the "Done" button changed the behaviour of the application, and how I can get it to close the video like it did in iOS 4.3? TIA.

Thanks for the feedback--I had looked at several other discussions on stackoverflow, but I hadn't found that one. — user8128167, Nov 10 '11 at 12:12

Here is what I ended up doing to resolve the issue:

// When the movie is done, release the controller.
-(void) myMovieFinishedCallback: (NSNotification*) aNotification
{
    videoPlayer.view.hidden = true;

    [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO];  
}

Please note that I am still fairly new at Objective-C programming, so if this is poor programming please let me know.
