Description

Problem reported here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/helpdesk/view/70751">http://developer.appcelerator.com/helpdesk/view/70751

Orientation events aren't getting picked up when a video player is playing.

Code to reproduce:

var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;
 
win.orientationModes = 
[
    Ti.UI.PORTRAIT,
    Ti.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT, 
    Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT,
    Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT
];
 
var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
    url: 'http://195.238.27.196/VOD/android/0006676NLP00.3gp'
});
activeMovie.play();
 
Ti.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e) {       
    Ti.API.info('Orientation changed: ' + e.orientation);
});

Original video doesn't work, so I used the following code:

   var vidWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
       title : 'Video View Demo',
       backgroundColor : '#fff'
   });
   
   vidWin.orientationModes = 
   [
       Ti.UI.PORTRAIT,
       Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT,
       Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT
   ];
    
   var videoPlayer = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
       top : 2,
       autoplay : true,
       backgroundColor : 'blue',
       height : 300,
       width : 300,
       mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
       scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
   });
    
   videoPlayer.url = 'http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11919792/VID_20120501_141527.mp4';
   vidWin.add(videoPlayer);
   vidWin.open();
   
   Ti.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e) {       
       Ti.API.info('Orientation changed: ' + e.orientation);
   });
   
   vidWin.open();

Tested using 2.0.1GA2 on a Samsung Galaxy S2. Unable to reproduce the issue. I can see the events being fired on ddms. Ticket closed.
