Why can't I retrieve UIDeviceOrientation correctly while playing a movie in MPMoviePlayerController?

uiinterfaceorientation

Everything works fine while I'm not playing anything (I'm calling beginnotifications, etc, and using the orientation to rotate my view). But after I start playing with MPMoviePlayerController every time I try a...

UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];

...orientation gets a UIDeviceOrientationUnknown.

Any clue? When the movie stops everything works alright again. I need this orientation to rotate the player's window, because Im using Iphone OS 3.1 so I can't directly use the view property inside MPMovie player controller.
