QLPreviewController play item action

If we have a QLPreviewController with video file inside, the video is loaded in a paused state. The user has to tap on play icon to make it play. I can't find any programmatic way to play the video, is there anything?

Since I think there is no such option, however it would certainly be handy, maybe this is a good place to ask for such new API feature? I know where to ask for Swift evolution changes, but where to ask for API changes?
