I am growing a music utility, which ought to play music within the background.
I exploit the MPMoviePlayerController
to play the music. My code to provoke the MPMoviePlayerController
:
NSString* resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];
resourcePath = [resourcePath stringByAppendingString:@"/music.m4a"];
NSError* err;
self.participant = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:resourcePath]];
if (err) {
NSLog(@"ERROR: %@", err.localizedDescription);
}
AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
[session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback withOptions:AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionMixWithOthers error:nil];
[session setActive:YES error:nil];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
[self.player setShouldAutoplay:NO];
[self.player setControlStyle: MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded];
self.participant.view.hidden = YES;
[self.player prepareToPlay];
After I execute [self.player play];
the music begins.
However I additionally wish to show the identify of the tune, the identify of the album and the album paintings within the LockScreen and the ControlCenter. I am utilizing the next code:
Class playingInfoCenter = NSClassFromString(@"MPNowPlayingInfoCenter");
if (playingInfoCenter) {
NSMutableDictionary *songInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
MPMediaItemArtwork *albumArt = [[MPMediaItemArtwork alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"artwork.png"]];
[songInfo setObject:@"SongName" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
[songInfo setObject:@"ArtistName" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtist];
[songInfo setObject:@"AlbumTitle" forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle];
[songInfo setObject:albumArt forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
[[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:songInfo];
}
However nothing will get displayed within the LockScreen. It would not get displayed within the ControlCenter both.
How can I remedy my downside? I did not discover something on the web.
Thanks upfront, Fabian.
