iOS When is the delegate method pictureInPictureControllerWillStopPictureInPicture called?

[SayoniSDR]

I have developed a sample ios application using AVPlayer as an underlying framework. I have successfully implemented picture in picture playback using AVPictureInPictureController as well.

But the problem arises, when I switch to the next content in the playlist after the initial content finishes playing in PictureInPictureMode. At this point, the player automatically switches to the full screen mode and the delegate method : pictureInPictureControllerWillStopPictureInPicture is called.

I want the next content to continue playing in PIP mode. Can anyone tell me under what conditions, the delegate methodictureInPictureControllerWillStopPictureInPicture is called.

Talk about a method name...

I'm not too sure because I haven't worked too extensively with AVPlayer - but before that method is called, is the playerDidFinishPlaying notification fired? Perhaps you can handle the hand-off before the check that causes pictureInPictureControllerWillStopPictureInPicture to fire and close the PIP window. I assume that there are other apps that do this?

Sorry I can't be of more help
