I play some audio files with AVPlayer and now I want to display track info in Control Center or on the Lock screen.

I set it up like this:

    NSDictionary *info = @{
                        MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: @"Test",
                        MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle: @"Test",
                        MPMediaItemPropertyTitle:  @"Test",
                        MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyPlaybackRate :@1.0f };

        [[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter]setNowPlayingInfo:info];

and also added

[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];

but the result is the same as described here How to set audio details with an image on control center in Objective-C for iOS11? everything is just greyed out and no info is showing.

To become the Now Playing app you need to set up a non mixable audio session category, like this: `[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&nil];`. – Rhythmic Fistman Jan 31 '18 at 13:21

Ok I did that now, but unfortunately that didn't change anything. It's still the same. – John Sax Feb 02 '18 at 17:36
You also have to be playing audio. – Rhythmic Fistman Feb 02 '18 at 17:57
Well yeah of course I do that. – John Sax Feb 02 '18 at 19:58
Have you called setActive on the session? – Rhythmic Fistman Feb 02 '18 at 20:01
Yes I did that aswell. – John Sax Feb 02 '18 at 20:22
Can you make a small project that reproduces the problem and link to it here? – Rhythmic Fistman Feb 02 '18 at 21:01
