App with AVPlayer plays mp4 interrupt iPod music after launched

Question

My App plays mp4 using AVPlayer, when my application finish launching, it interrupt the iPod music, although I have set the audio session to allow mix with others in

Answer 1

Finally, I figure out what's wrong.

AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);  
UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound;
AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory, sizeof(sessionCategory), &sessionCategory);
UInt32 allowMixWithOthers = true;
AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_OverrideCategoryMixWithOthers, sizeof(allowMixWithOthers), &allowMixWithOthers);
AudioSessionSetActive(true);

AudioSessionSetActive must be called after AudioSessionSetProperty, it works fine now.

Answer 2

In iOS 6/7 you can use AVAudioSession because AudioSessionSetProperty is deprecated.

[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback withOptions:AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionMixWithOthers error:nil];
