I am using an AVPlayer
to play a music stream from a server. I have an artwork image that I want to display on both command center and lock screen. I am using the following code :
let image = UIImage(named: "RadioBackground")!
let artwork = MPMediaItemArtwork.init(boundsSize: image.size, requestHandler: { (size) -> UIImage in
return image
})
var playingInfo:[String: Any] = [:]
playingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = artwork
playingInfo[MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyPlaybackRate] = NSNumber(value: 1.0)
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = playingInfo
UIApplication.shared.beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents()
let CommandCenter = MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared()
CommandCenter.playCommand.isEnabled = true
CommandCenter.playCommand.addTarget(self, action:#selector(PlayPauseRadio))
CommandCenter.pauseCommand.isEnabled = true
CommandCenter.pauseCommand.addTarget(self, action:#selector(PlayPauseRadio))
The problem is that the artwork is only displayed on the lock screen, not on the command center.
Did I miss something ?
Ok I got it ! Finally ! You just have to set some property to your NowPlayingInfo
. Here is the properties :
MPMediaItemPropertyTitle
