I'm experiencing an issue with AVPlayer on tvOS 10: it won't start playing a video sometimes On tvOS 10.0.1. It’s working fine when application goes background and return back to application but sometimes problem occurs and it doesn’t play.
I get the same results with using AVPlayerViewController as with AVPlayerLayer: the video seems to be loaded (first frame is visible), and when using the AVPlayerViewController showing playback controls it shows the timeline with correct video length, but though my player's state is .ReadyToPlay (checked before calling play() ), it simply doesn't start. No error is logged, notifications such as AVPlayerItemPlaybackStalledNotification or AVPlayerItemFailedToPlayToEndTimeNotification are not sent.
I didn't find any API change that might be relevant.
Thanks for any answer.
