Creates a playback coordinator for a custom playback object.

init(playbackControlDelegate: any AVPlaybackCoordinatorPlaybackControlDelegate)
```

## Parameters

The playback control delegate for the playback coordinator.

## Discussion

If your app doesn’t use [`AVPlayer`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayer) for playback, create an instance of this class to coordinate playback of your customer player.
