Hi All, I am using Azure Media Service and CDN and I have set up some rules from the CDN side that can only allow traffic from my domain. But I find this work well on Windows PC and Mac book, but not iPhone or iPad. For further investigation, I caught the network trace and find that the request didn't have the 'Origin' in the header so the request will be denied by the CDN rules. This could be observed using either chrome or Safari browser on iPhones and iPad. Have anyone seen this issue before? Is it related to the iOS system or the AV player? Is there any workaround for such issue?

MusicPlayer.State supports shuffleMode and repeatMode, but there is no way to enable Autoplay. In the case of SystemMusicPlayer a user can enable AutoPlay from iOS Music app, but for ApplicationMusicPlayer, there's no way to offer Autoplay support. Additionally, when setting a new queue iOS Music app, disables Autoplay mode even if it was enabled before, but when using iOS Music app, the Autoplay stays enabled. I can understand that it may be intentional for some reason but doesn't seem user-friendly. Due to this, even when playing from Shortcuts app, Autoplay gets disabled, even though in most cases it shouldn't.

Are there more developers noticing that metadata is not working on iOS 16 beta 1 and 2? Both possible solutions are not working: observeValue for key "timedMetadata" and AVPlayerItemMetadataOutputPushDelegate. The code I produced works fine on iOS 16 in the simulator, but not on a real device (iPhone XR).

I understand why there isn’t an API to remove items from the library or playlist, but I propose a way to safely remove items from the library or playlist which would show a system alert to confirm the removal. This is exactly how the deletion is allowed for the Photos Library via third-party apps.

we are playing a HLS stream with the help of AV player and trying to read HLS manifest. We are able to detect majority of the tags however player is not detecting the EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID with DURATION tag ie #EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID="aba74c45-e963-45bf-8171-1f910c33f64a",DURATION=32.44 Where as, the other #EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID has been detected at the beginning of the manifest. #EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID="aba74c45-e963-45bf-8171-1f910c33f64a",START-DATE="2022-03-10T13:18:15.179Z",PLANNED-DURATION=15,X-AD-ID="9858" #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY We are using the AVPlayers metadata collector delegate method to detect the metadata func metadataCollector(_ metadataCollector: AVPlayerItemMetadataCollector, didCollect metadataGroups: [AVDateRangeMetadataGroup], indexesOfNewGroups: IndexSet, indexesOfModifiedGroups: IndexSet) {} We are not able to detect the EXT-X-DATERANGE:ID with DURATION tag with the delegate used above Any help appreciated.

I only have the simulator for testing currently, so perhaps it's a quirk of the simulator. I have an audio app. I want to keep the view on the phone in sync with state of my player, which involves setting the isPlaying property on on the CPListItems in the list. When I change its value, the list scrolls to the top. I would rather have the list scroll to reveal the playing item, or not at all.

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep the iOS 15 playback button layout instead of the new iOS 16 layout? (see image attached) I mean, keeping the compact playback buttons at the bottom of the screen in iOS 16?

Hi there! I have been trying to play the music videos we get from Apple Music API and have been unsuccessful. Here's my code: var video: MusicVideo var body: some View { VideoPlayer(player: AVPlayer(url: video.url!)) } I know the URL from the MusicVideo is not in a music format but just the URL to the video in the Apple Music catalog. How do I go about playing it without using something like MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.openToPlay(queueDescriptor) and provide an in-app experience (and not take the user to the Apple Music app)?

I use AVPlayerItemMetadataOutput for live HLS audio stream, each segment is a 0.96 second long AAC containing id3 metadata. In all previous versions of iOS, the AVPlayerItemMetadataOutput delegate method for this stream is called approximately every 0.96 seconds. This behaviour has changed with iOS 15.4.1. In this version, the delegate method is called exactly every 1 second, resulting in a delay in reading the metadata for each segment. Example: time(sec)----|0___________1___________2___________3______ segments-----|[segment_1][segment_2][segment_3][segment_4] |^----------^----------^----------^--------- iOS 15.2-----|call_1 call_2 call_3 call_4 |^-----------^-----------^-----------^------ iOS 15.4.1---|call_1 call_2 call_3 call_4 As it can be seen, call_4 will be called much later than segment_4 starts playing. In all previous versions of iOS, it was called simultaneously with the start of segment_4 playback. The AVMetadataItem.time property also shows the wrong time (see attached pictures). Tried adjusting the delegation in both main and background queue - no success. Changing advanceIntervalForDelegateInvocation did not change this behavior.

I have an issue with updating MPNowPlayingInfoCenter when trying to read nowPlayingInfo I don't get a response leading to blocking the current thread indefinitely. I'm updating MPNowPlayingInfoCenter on main thread which results in an app freeze. func staticUpdate() {     logger.log(.debug, "start static update")     infoCenter.nowPlayingInfo = nowPlayingInfo     logger.log(.debug, "end static update") } func dynamicUpdate() {     logger.log(.debug, "start update - read")     var mpInfo = infoCenter.nowPlayingInfo ?? [String: Any]()     logger.log(.debug, "start update - write") ...     infoCenter.nowPlayingInfo = mpInfo     logger.log(.debug, "end update") } /* 2022-04-25 09:28:19.051435+0200 [Debug] [main] [NowPlayingInfoCenterController.swift:128] start static update 2022-04-25 09:28:19.051834+0200 [Debug] [main] [NowPlayingInfoCenterController.swift:130] end static update 2022-04-25 09:28:19.052251+0200 [Debug] [main] [NowPlayingInfoCenterController.swift:186] start update - read */ I'm overwriting nowPlayingInfo when media changes, then I'm updating it on any status changes (progress, status,...) (see timestamps, we read ~1ms after write but never reach infoCenter.nowPlayingInfo = mpInfo) Questions: shouldn't infoCenter.nowPlayingInfo always be readable? can I update infoCenter from any queue? (this would solve only app freeze..)

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with currentPlaybackRate in release version of iOS 15.4? In my particular case this is using MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer. I've always had issues controlling this property reliably but from what I can see it is now completely non-operational in 15.4. I've isolated this behavior in a trivial project, and will file a radar, but hoping others may have some insight first. FWIW- This is my trivial test case: class ViewController: UIViewController {     lazy var player: MPMusicPlayerApplicationController = {         let player = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer         player.repeatMode = .none         player.shuffleMode = .off         player.beginGeneratingPlaybackNotifications()         return player     }()     override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()         NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .MPMusicPlayerControllerPlaybackStateDidChange, object: nil, queue: .main) { [weak self] notification in             guard let notificationPlayer = notification.object as? MPMusicPlayerApplicationController,                   notificationPlayer === self?.player else {                 return             }                          debugPrint("Player state now: \(notificationPlayer.playbackState)")         }     }     @IBAction func goAction(_ sender: Any) {         guard let item = MPMediaQuery.songs().items?.randomElement() else {             debugPrint("Unable to access media items")             return         }         debugPrint("Now playing item: \(item.title ?? "")")         player.setQueue(with: [item.playbackStoreID])         player.prepareToPlay() { error in             guard error == nil else {                 debugPrint("Player error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")                 return             }             DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in                 self?.player.play()             }         }     } @IBAction func slowAction(_ sender: Any) {         debugPrint("Setting currentPlaybackRate to 0.5")         player.currentPlaybackRate = 0.5         checkPlaybackRate()     } @IBAction func fastAction(_ sender: Any) {         debugPrint("Setting currentPlaybackRate to 1.5")         player.currentPlaybackRate = 1.5         checkPlaybackRate()     } func checkPlaybackRate(afterSeconds delay: TimeInterval = 1.0) {         DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delay) {             debugPrint("After \(delay) seconds currentPlaybackRate now: \(self.player.currentPlaybackRate)")         }     } } Typical console output: "Now playing item: I Know You Know" "Player state now: MPMusicPlaybackState(rawValue: 2)" "Player state now: MPMusicPlaybackState(rawValue: 1)" "Setting currentPlaybackRate to 1.5" "After 1.0 seconds currentPlaybackRate now: 1.0" "Setting currentPlaybackRate to 0.5" "After 1.0 seconds currentPlaybackRate now: 1.0"

Everything 's working perfectly before ios 15.4.1, but few days ago, I 've update my iphone to 15.4.1, MPRemoteCommandCenter does not show up any more. It only shows up only when I toggle play pause my AVPlayer while Avplayer playing. Anyone has experience with this?

AVplayer.seekToTime is not working on iOS 15.4.1 It worked well before I upgraded to latest iOS Version.

How do you add a audio player to a swift playgrounds app project? How would you be able to add local audio along in the backend along with a interactive audio player in the frontend??? Thanks!

Is there a way to disable the default video controls (play/pause/scrubber/etc) on the new SwiftUI VideoPlayer in iOS14, so I could create a custom one?

Hi all. I'm trying to create custom controls for AVPlayer and managed to do it. Last thing I want to achieve is making the player go full screen while it is in-line mode, inside UICollectionViewCell, on device rotation. I'm using this code to present the player in full screen: override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {   super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)   collectionView?.collectionViewLayout.invalidateLayout()       let sourceVC = self   let destinationVC = LandscapePlayerViewController() // LandscapePlayerViewController also in view hierarchy within UICollectionViewCell   destinationVC.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen   sourceVC.present(destinationVC, animated: true) } This does the trick, but for some reason the player presents empty. It doesn't pass the playing video to presented full screen player. Any suggestions? Thank you!
