mpnowplayinginfocenter

My app doesn’t support going back to previous tracks, and I’m wondering if I can tell the lock screen music controls to hide their rewind/previous track button. I use the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to communicate that information to the lock screen. Pretty simple question, can it be done? For instance, to only show Play/Pause, and Skip Forward? Lysann Schlegel As of iOS 7.1 there is a way to customize the controls available in the lock screen and command center (and probably many other accessories): MPRemoteCommandCenter . Regarding your question you can do the following: [MPRemoteCommandCenter

I am trying to get MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to work properly when pausing playback. (I have a streaming music app that uses AVPlayer for playback, and I am playing back in my Apple TV over Airplay.) Everything but pausing seems to be reflected correctly in the Apple TV UI. I am initializing it like this: MPNowPlayingInfoCenter *center = [MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter]; NSDictionary *songInfo = @{ MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: title, MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: artist }; center.nowPlayingInfo = songInfo; Since I am streaming, I do not have duration info upon starting the playback. When I get

I have a video player that can play from the iOS command center and lock screen. When I toggle a play/pause button in my app, it should update the play/pause button in the command center ( MPRemoteCommandCenter ) by updating the nowPlayingInfo ( MPNowPlayingInfoCenter ). I'm not sure why it's not updating. For example, if I pause the video with a custom button in my app, the command center still shows the pause button (meaning the video is still playing which is wrong.) This is how I update the nowPlayingInfo : func updateMPNowPlayingInforCenterMetadata() { guard video != nil else {

As I understand, in order to show music player on lock screen, writing the following code is not enough. override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) { var mpic = MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.defaultCenter() mpic.nowPlayingInfo = [ MPMediaItemPropertyTitle:"This Is a Test", MPMediaItemPropertyArtist:"Matt Neuburg" ] } My app also should be able to receive remote control events So, how to do that in Swift? I found this from Apple Documentation , but it's for Objective-C. - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewDidAppear:animated]; // Turn on remote control event delivery [[UIApplication

I am the author of a Cydia tweak called AirFloat. An app that implements the AirPlay audio protocol (previously known as AirTunes), making it possible to stream audio to your iOS device. AirFloat is originally an App Store app, until it got booted by Apple from the App Store. I've since that made it available for free in Cydia. Currently the app stands in Cydia exactly as the previous App Store version. As a result of this I get a lot of requests to make it work in the background. But I cannot get it to work. Basically I am thinking of two approaches. Note: AirFloat displays the currently

I need some help with an issue when my music player app is playing on background. I'm able to play the musics in the app and in the background with both services. I'm also able to set the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter and it displays the correct info, but the play/pause, next track and previous tracks are working only when the user is authenticated with Spotify: notifications are received correctly by the app when the user authenticates with Spotify but it doesn't work when user authenticates with Apple Music. In this case it seems that Apple Music is the one receiving the notifications. I'm using an

I'm trying to get info about the current playing song in Spotify iOS app. The scenario is as follows: Open Spotify iOS app, start playing a song. Put the app in background and open my iOS app. Is there any way I could get the song playing on Spotify, in my iOS app? I have tried using the nowPlayingItem property as described in this post, but it didn't work: On iPhone: Find out what song is currently playing? (in the iPod music player) I have tried using the [MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter].nowPlayingInfo as described in this post, but it didn't work: Is there a way to access the
