iOS NSNotificationCenter: perform selector on main thread upon receipt of notification

[moonman239]

I have the following code in my app right now. My app works, but what I really want is for playerItemDidFinishPlaying to be executed on the main thread. I guess I could just create a new method that will be called instead, and use the performSelectorOnMainThread method.

So, instead of this:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(playerItemDidFinishPlaying:) name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification object:nil];

I'd have this:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(someMethod) name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification object:nil];

-(void)someMethod
{
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(playerItemDiDFinishPlaying)

Why would you want notifications on the main thread?

Edit: Also, I fail to see what you're asking.
